Okay, please don’t ask me what I was drinking when I went and labeled all the image files “cloth transmog.” This is a set for monks so, yeah, we’re talking handworked animal skins, not floral cotton/silk blends.

And speaking of monks, I’m so happy with this set, you have no idea. It’s not so much that I even like the look, though I do, it’s that it looks like something a monk would wear. Because they’re a (comparatively) new class, I sometimes struggle with the monk aesthetic. I know what a druid looks like. I know what a rogue looks like. But what a monk looks like, when he’s not wearing that classic limpet-shell hat? No freaking clue.

But this set, this works! This looks like a — oh, he’s wearing the hat, isn’t he?

Ugh, whatever.

Now, because I was on the ball back when I first put this plate transmog set together, I went and selected Exceptional Crystal-Plated Greatbelt as the belt, despite the fact that it’s probably the hardest iteration of that belt model to get. If you like the look, save yourself some grief and trawl through the alternates on Wowhead.

Okay, so this started life as a golden paladin transmog but, uh, somehow it’s less Jamie Lannister and more “I have a chandelier on my head and I am without shame.”

I’ll admit, though, I’m frustrated about the lack of consistency in the shades of gold. The boots, for example, work on a dwarf because of her shorter stature, but when the taller races are in play I’m not sure the proportions still work. I’m also not 100% about  Vendor - Gold  Protector of Frigid Souls. Ugh.

Anyone have any better ideas? Let me know in the comments.

So again, there’s something a little unfair about tagging an outfit as “Shaman-friendly” when the model is carrying around a hulking great bow in all the example images. But apart from that — and, let’s face it, finding a replacement by way of a large bronze stick with spikes coming out of it isn’t especially hard — this mail transmog set is free of class-specific and faction-specific limitations, thank heavens for that.Mail Transmog - Banded Armor - Back

Quest Reward Wolfsfur Greatcloak (Horde Only)

Okay, apart from that one.

The cloak is a quest reward from Frostfire Ridge, a zone that stubbornly insists on being the stomping ground of the Horde. If you’re Alliance and Durotan’s not willing to give you the time of day, or you’re a Hordie whose already quested through Frostfire Ridge because, well, who hasn’t these days, you’re out of luck.

What can I say, kids? Better luck next time.
