Season 3 is about to finish, and I never posted about the season 2 transmog I earned. I know it’s not the most exciting aspect of the game, but I spend a significant amount of time chasing these sets. Let’s take a look

Class sets

Shaman – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible

I love the red heroic tint. I could use the mythic tint too. The normal is okay, and I don’t think I’d ever use the LFR tint.

Warrior – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible

None of the four Aberrus tints are bad for warriors. I doubt I’d use the LFR or normal ones after unlocking the heroic and mythic ones, but they’re all cool.

Mage – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible

These are all fantastic. I like the pink LFR tint a ton! I don’t think I’d use normal much, but I like the peach vibes from heroic too.

Priest – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible

I don’t like the LFR tint, but I do like the normal and heroic priest tints. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’d ever use them. I just have other sets I like more. If I was going shadow, maybe I’d use heroic!

Hunter – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible

I got the LFR, normal, and heroic tints of the hunter class set. I think they all look great!

Evoker – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible

I got the LFR, normal, and heroic tints of the evoker class set. It’s all terrible. That’s all I have to say.

Druid – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible

These are the LFR and normal tints for the druid set. I think they both look really cool, but surprisingly, I like the LFR best.

Paladin – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible

Just the LFR tint for the paladin.

Death Knight – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible

Just the LFR tint for DK as well.

Rogue – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible

Just LFR on this alt.

Demon Hunter – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible

And just LFR for Demon Hunter.

Warlock – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible

Just LFR!

Monk – Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible?

Nothing! I didn’t have a monk at max level in season 2. Hm, maybe in the season 3 post…

Mail gear

These sets are for all mail-wearing classes.

Time Rifts (mail)

These are the two mail sets from the time rift vendors. I’m not sure I’d ever use them.

Cavern Delver’s Gear (mail)

I collected four the Cavern Delver’s Gear tints – time rifts & Dawn of the Infinites (bronze), world quests and world drops, campaign, and Suffusion Camps and PVP. I like the red tint from Suffusion Camps.

Plate gear

These sets are for all plate-wearers.

Season 2 PVP Aspirant (plate)

The aspirant set for plate-wearers is cool.

Time Rifts (plate)

These are the two sets from Time Rifts vendors available to all plate classes.

Cavern Delver’s Gear (plate)

Like the mail versions of this set, I like the red tint from Suffusion Camps best. Unlike mail classes, I didn’t unlock the campaign version of the plate sets.

Leather gear

These sets are for all leather-wearers.

Time Rifts (leather)

I think these are cooler than the other armor types’ Time Rifts gear.

Cavern Delver’s Gear (leather)

Three tints of this leather, and like the previous ones, I prefer the red tint.

Cloth gear

These sets are for all cloth-wearing classes.

Time Rifts (cloth)

Ugly!

Cavern Delver’s Gear (cloth)

This looks much worse than the other ones. Maybe it’s not the cloth but that it doesn’t look good on a troll.

All classes

These sets are useable on all classes.

Racing Cup

These are the Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms Cups transmog on the left and the Outland Cup transmog on the right. I really like these a lot.

Draconic Mortals Attire

I don’t even remember where these are obtained, but I got three tints.

10.1 activities – Snail Racing, Researchers Under Fire, Sniffenseeking, and Fyrakk Assaults

Let’s look at some of the open world activities from patch 10.1 that I completed.

Snail Racing

Look at this beautiful snail, Big Slick in the City! I love this mount.

This is Bulleto and me on our snails! I short collection of dailies, and the little snail was mine.

Researchers Under Fire

Researchers Under Fire seemed interesting at first but quickly lost its appeal. I think this happens with a lot of the world content that starts at set times. It just became a chore. However, it offered three mounts and two pets. I earned everything. This is my favorite mount from the activity, the Subterranean Magmammoth.

Sniffenseeking

Sniffenseeking is the activity in Zaralek Cavern in which you dig with Myrrit. They were pretty fun little scenarios that offered a change of pace to the standard game. I did all of them and found all the quest items, earning the Sniffenseeker title and the Salverun pet, who whispers things to you.

Fyrakk Assaults

Fyrakk Assaults basically boiled down to showing up and defeating a bunch of enemies, but it had a little bit of complexity by forcing to you to target more powerful enemies. What I liked about the assaults were that there were four transmog sets to collect, one for each armor type. Here’s my druid with the leather set. There were also some drake manuscripts, a toy, and some pets. I collected everything.

Dragonflight S1 Transmog

While my main goals each season are related to pushing content, I do spend too much time collecting transmog sets. Here’s what I got from Dragonflight Season 1.

Tauren shaman

First, let’s look at the transmog on my main, a tauren shaman.

Vault of the Incarnates

The only set I completed from Vault of the Incarnates was the mythic set. Earning the raid/m+ tier on lower color variations is kind of difficult because I want to use my catalyst charges on whatever helps with progression, not whatever helps with transmog. I was one piece away, wrists, from completing heroic and normal. If I had one more week with the catalyst, I would have completed it. Luckily the wrist piece isn’t visible really anyways. You can also see me using the mythic Vault of the Incarnates set in the screenshot at the top.

The mythic appearance goes well with the Raszageth mount!

Primal Elements

I earned the Primal Storms and The Forbidden Reach colors for the Primal Elements set. This was all from farming rares in the Forbidden Reach.

I had some bad RNG with the last piece, but I got it eventually.

This tint goes well with the Elusive Emerald Hawkstrider from the end of last expansion.

Valdrakken Civilian Clothing

I earned the bronze and blue colors of the Valdrakken Civilian Clothing. I chose bronze on my shaman and blue on my warrior. I haven’t bought any additional tints yet.

Centaur Regalia

I like the dungeons variant of the Centaur Regalia, the Centaur Dungeon Harness, a lot. I also earned the aspirant tint from honor gear and the world and world quest tint.

Dracthyr Battlegear

I only earned the one from this set, Crimson Dracthyr Battlegear.

Expedition Gear

Four variations earned on this character, and they’re all ugly.

Trading Post

Can’t forget the Darkmoon Harlequin’s Bells!

Other

I put this one together once I got the treasure chest back from the trading post. I like the gold!

Mag’har orc warrior

Now let’s look at the transmog for my warrior.

Vault of the Incarnates

I couldn’t quite complete a single set of the raid set. I was missing the boots from the mythic set and the head from both the heroic and normal set. If only I had a little more time!

Here’s the mythic set on me in the world. The boots don’t technically match. I’ve saved the set in my transmog as “LIES.”

Primal Elements

I also earned the Primal Storms and Forbidden Reach tints of the Primal Elements set, both from the Forbidden Reach. It was a nice, mindless task to farm these from rares.

This goes well with these swords!

Valdrakken Civilian Clothing

Here are the bronze and blue tints.

Djaradin Battlegear

I just got this one tint of the Djaradin Battlegear. I will never use this.

Expedition Gear

The World Drops tint is bad, but the Primal Storms tint is kind of cool. I don’t think I’m likely to use it, but it could be cool to transmog a simple look.

Trading Post

While I liked this on my tauren shaman, I don’t care for it on my warrior as much!

Other

This is my usual transmog for the warrior. It has nothing to do with Dragonflight, as it came from Castle Nathria last expansion, but I wanted to include it. The weapons are from Sanctum of Domination I think, and I like that they look like shoulder armor when on my back.

It goes well with last expansion’s Fallen Charger, too.

Zandalari druid

Finally, let’s look at my druid. I didn’t play him as much, so he doesn’t have as many sets collected.

Vault of the Incarnates

I earned the heroic and normal tints from the raid set easily using the Forbidden Reach gear. Since I wasn’t doing any real PVE content, I didn’t have any good gear to use with my catalyst charges.

Primal Elements

Just like with the other two characters, I got the two tints of the Primal Elements set from the Forbidden Reach.

I like using the blue set.

Valdrakken Civilian Clothing

Here’s my druid with the bronze and blue tints. The bronze looks much better on him due to the blue skin tone.

Expedition Gear

I only earned this one tint from the Expedition Gear set.

Trading Post

Again, this just doesn’t do it for me like it does on a tauren!

Dragonflight Season 1

Now that season 2 has started, I wanted to look at how I did in season 1. I got Keystone Hero (2500+ rating) on my shaman and Keystone Master (2000+ rating) on my warrior. I got Ahead of the Curve and finished Vault of the Incarnates on both my shaman and warrior. While I’ve played alts a little in the past, this is the first season I’ve earned KSM and AotC on two characters. Awesome! It was one of my goals this season, so I’m glad I succeeded. I also played my druid a tiny bit. While I PVP’d a little, I decided to focus my time elsewhere.

Shadowlands Season 1 and 2 transmog progress

With the release of 9.2, I wanted to look at the transmog I’ve been collecting this expansion. Here’s what I earned, with more details and screenshots below:

  • Kyrian, cloth – campaign and renown
  • Venthyr, plate – campaign, renown, and Ember Court
  • Night fae, leather – campaign, renown, Queen’s Conservatory, and Winterborn
  • Necrolord, mail – campaign, renown, Abominable Stitching, and Unity
  • Kyrian 9.1 – all four
  • Venthyr 9.1 – five of the eight
  • Night fae 9.1 – all four
  • Necrolord 9.1 – all four
  • Castle Nathria – all four LFR sets
  • Sanctum of Domination – cloth, leather, and plate LFR sets
  • PVP Season 1 – cloth aspirant and gladiator
  • PVP season 2 – cloth aspirant, gladiator, and elite

First, these are my completed Sanctum of Domination sets. I got the LFR sets for leather, plate, and cloth. I actually like the cloth raid finder tint (the last one above), but the other raid finder ones are rather boring. I didn’t try for mail raid finder because I was pushing heroic on my mail character, but I didn’t finish the set. Funny thing is, I don’t think I’d use the cloth LFR tint despite initially liking it because I like the PVP variant much more.

These are the Shadowlands Season 2 PVP sets I collected – all three cloth sets. The aspirant is the same as last season’s aspirant. The gladiator variant is really cool although the elite set has the extra flair.

These are the raid sets I collected from the first tier – all four LFR tints. These are actually all pretty cool in their own way. In order above, those are the mail, plate, cloth, and leather sets. I used the mail set on my shaman for a while.

In season 1 of PVP, I only managed to get the aspirant and gladiator variants. As I mentioned above, the aspirant is the same set in both season 1 and 2. While I prefer my priest in a robe over pants, I think the gladiator tint doesn’t look as nice as the LFR tint.

I got all four of the Aspirant’s Regalia tints, the Kyrian sets from 9.1. I think they fit Kyrian pretty well.

I collected the four Night fae tints from 9.1. They’re cool, but I think I like the 9.0 leather sets better.

I can’t really imagine using any of these even though I did collect all four Necromantic Vestments tints for Necrolords in 9.1.

I’m not sure why, but Venthyr had two different sets each with four tints in 9.1. This is the set with pants, Court Attire. I collected three of the four variants.

And I collected two of the four Inquisitor’s Vestments tints.

My first character this expansion was my Kyrian priest, and I collected two of the cloth Kyrian tints. I didn’t progress much in Path of Ascension so was unable to collect the other tints.

After my Kyrian priest, I played by Venthyr DK. I got three of the plate tints, with the campaign version being the coolest.

I played my Night fae druid third and got all four of the leather tints. I like the one with purple leaves best!

I played a Necrlord shaman last and collected all four mail tints despite not liking any of them. Why did I spend my time doing that?

I’m not sure how many of the ones I missed I plan on getting. I’ll continue pooling my anima to get the missing 9.1 Venthyr tints. I dobut I’m going back to old raids. Doing Path of Ascension for the missing Kyrian cloth tints or the mirrors for the missing Venthyr plate tint isn’t high on my priorities. I like a lot of the Kyrian armor actually, but I absolutely do not want to grind more Grateful Offerings!

While my druid normally uses one of the Night fae ones, my other three toons use different transmog. While not related to collecting Shadowlands sets, let’s finish the post by talking about them.

I love my priest in T10 from Icecrown Citadel, including a weapon from ICC. There is a touch of Shadowlands there – the back piece is Kyrian.

Logrus uses this set, which I love.

Sotiros switched to a green transmog recently.

I had to when I got that backpack!

Glory of the Shadowlands Hero earned!

We earned our Glory of the Shadowlands Hero achievement this weekend! It’s been a long time since I’ve gone for a Glory achievement to be honest. This was pretty fun and not very fun honestly, although you definitely wouldn’t stumble into all of them without trying. For example, there’s Kaal-ed Shot, requiring you to pick up a Filled Anima Container in Sanguine Depths to get the Shadow Ball buff, carry it through the gauntlet, get knocked off the boss platform toward a lantern, click the lantern to dunk the ball, and then kill General Kaal. What a weird achievement.

The Voracious Gorger is a pretty cool mount. I like the devourers and the little bit of lore about them originating from the in-between. This isn’t one of my favorite mounts necessarily, but I like it. In the screenshot above from left to right is Mooglegem, Delillidan, me, Mushkin, and Kanora – with two of them naked because that’s how they earned the final achievement!

The last achievement we earned for the meta was I Can See My House From Here – another that you’d be unlikely to do without really going for it. The biggest things we learned are 1) perspective can mess with you and 2) trust your friends and don’t tell them what to do haha. We kept correcting each other, which just caused more problems.

Fun all around!

Night fae campaign thoughts

The night fae campaign, which I finished back in May, was entertaining but a bit disjointed. However, I really enjoyed it and the feel of the covenant sanctum. I went night fae with my druid, who I play as balance and resto. In my mind, I thought of my Zandalari as a tough guy – brutish, angry, quick to fight. After joining the night fae and really loving the Queen’s Conservatory, now I think of him much more as someone who cares about others.

While I didn’t absolutely love the story of going after Tyrande, I did enjoy learning about the previous Night Warriors. Thiernax, a previous Night Warrior, and his husband Qadarin were cool characters, and I like the lore about splitting the power of the Night Warrior.

I also liked meeting Huln Highmountain!

Saving the night elf souls from the Maw is a pretty cool story beat. Right now it seems like not enough, but I’m sure the Night Warrior plot will continue and should hopefully bring more closure to that part of the story.

The best part of the campaign was obviously dealing with Bwonsamdi again! He was one of the best parts of BfA, and I’m glad they worked him into this campaign. I hope he pops up more in the future.

And Bwonsamdi leads into Vol’jin! Vol’jin’s story threads from Legion and BfA were so intriguing, and I’m glad we got to see more of him. Now there are more questions. Why was his spirit still so strongly tethered to Azeroth? Is he now the Loa of Kings? Will he become Loa of the Horde? Or will his story be something different? By far, seeing Vol’jin was the greatest callback yet in this expansion.

Compared to all of that in the covenant campaign, the plot with the Drust and Gorak Zhar was underwhelming. I couldn’t even remember Gorak Zhar’s name to write this post, and while playing I had her confused Gorak Tul. I guess the Drust just didn’t captivate me. That’s unfortunate because I like their art style, and I suspect we’ll see more of them.

Spectral raptor raid!

Thanks to a shaman with Glyph of the Spectral Raptor and a Reflecting Prism, my tedious Crucible of Storms LFR (hunting transmog) became a lot more fun. We were a raid full of spectral raptors!

BfA mythic+ season 4 recap

I wrote previously about earning Battle for Azeroth Keystone Master: Season Four for doing all +15s, but I wanted to recap a little more about m+ this season. I ran a few m+ in season 3 but didn’t seriously start until this last season. I know I was late to the party, but I think mythic+ is a fantastic addition to the game. It’s great getting challenging content that can be done in small chunks of time as well as with smaller groups of people than raids.

I mainly played disc priest, but I also used shadow a little. As for other classes, I did m+ on demo lock, holy and ret pali, resto and ele shaman, and a little bit of guardian druid and frost mage. This was my first expansion playing multiple classes as end game, and I had such a blast. Yes, it was stressful dealing with a weekly chest, assaults, and horrific visions on a bunch of toons, but actually playing them was so much fun.

I’m not sure which one to even talk about. The lock was by secondary most of the expansion, but I really enjoyed learning to heal dungeons on shaman and paladin. Holy paladin felt quite different since it’s played in melee. The most challenging past of holy paladin was hunting for glimmer on Azerite pieces. I think resto shaman was awesome, and I enjoyed using elemental when doing solo content. I really enjoyed the feeling of saying “you know, I think I’d prefer to heal this on my resto shaman rather than disc priest.” I had never tanked end game before, so trying my hand at guardian druid was exciting and nerve-racking. I couldn’t have done it with guildmates guiding me, but I might try tanking more in Shadowlands. I think if I do it from the beginning, I’d actually learn routes myself. Setting the pace and routes seems like the biggest hurdle to tanking. While my mage never got super geared, it was fun really learning frost. Even at low gear levels, it became so apparent how powerful Glacial Spike was. Mages can certainly bring the DPS, but they’re also definitely glass cannons!

In the end, here’s the raider.io scores I reached:

  • Priest: 2017.3 (bestkeystone.com put me above 90% of m+ players that season)
  • Warlock: 1329.7
  • Paladin: 1199.4
  • Shaman: 937.7
  • Druid: 491.3
  • Mage: 250.8

You can see how I tapered off. The priest was strongly my main, and then I played the next three for most of the patch. The final two classes were late additions.

Now if only I could figure out which ones I want to play in Shadowlands!

Horrific Visions, Mad World, and the Wicked Swarmer

I might be emotionally scarred from the amount of Horrific Visions and accompanying assaults I did in 8.3. They were neat content, and I really enjoyed the challenge of pushing myself to play better on multiple classes, but I also felt completely burned out by the end of the patch.

By completing both the Horrific Vision of Orgrimmar and Horrific Vision of Stormwind solo while all five masks are activated (the hardest version), you earn the Mad World feat of strength, which rewards the title, The Faceless One. I found that it was significantly harder to do this on cloth characters than any others. I really pushed myself to master my mage and warlock, while it felt like the other classes came easier. In the end, I earned Mad World as a discipline priest, demonology warlock, retribution paladin, elemental shaman, and balance druid. Five classes down!

I also managed to save up the 100,000 corrupted mementos from Horrific Visions to purchase the Wicked Swarmer, shown at the top. It’s a really great mount I think. The color looks good, it’s a cool model, and it’s small enough that it isn’t annoying when using it. I decided to save up for it on my warlock so that my priest, my main, could spend the corrupted mementos on sockets.

Leveling in Korrak’s Revenge

I spent a lot of time during the anniversary event leveling characters in Korrak’s Revenge. I love battlegrounds, and I’m slowly working toward the 250,000 honorable kills achievement. This seemed like a good time to do a ton of battlegrounds thanks to the increased XP rate. By level 60+, you gained a level per battle or so!

I already had three classes as 120 – priest, hunter, and warlock. I leveled an additional 8 to 120 with the event! The first I leveled to 120 with Korrak’s Revenge was Death Knight. Logrus, my frost DK, was a lot of fun to play. Compared to my main, a healer, it felt like enemies really melted.

My fifth class to hit 120 was my Demon Hunter, Faiella. Like my DK, I found Demon Hunter was great at killing. Movement is incredibly fun with Demon Hunter as well.

ELQLrSOVUAENvGg.jpg

Next up, my sixth toon to hit 120, paladin! Here’s Illuminnae standing next to gem’s paladin, Melantho. I’m glad I finally got Illuminnae to max level. It’s nice to have a really heroic-looking plate wearer. I envision her wearing full suits of armor always, as opposed to many other characters that I have in robes or other lighter-looking armor. I played her as ret, but I’d like to learn holy eventually.

This is Spritzi, my little goblin rogue. Stealthing was a lot of fun, but I don’t feel like rogue ever really clicked with me like the other classes did. Diko, gem’s priest, is cheering for her!

Here’s Sotiros, my shaman. He was the third character I ever thought of as my “main.” I created Devee thinking Devee would be temporary, yet Sotiros quickly got pushed aside and I focused on Devee ever since. Now Sotiros is finally max level. I played as resto, and wow, how fun. Chain Heal is amazing in battlegrounds (at least when there are a lot of players together). I enjoyed standing on top of towers and targeting the one Horde character in range with Chain Heal over and over so it could hit the others.

Here’s Mooglepete, my Blood Elf frost mage! I never knew just how much mages are glass cannons. He died easily, but he killed easily too! Here he is with Diko.

I named him after Mooglegem, gem’s mage. Here we are together with our Water Elementals.

Tyyrse, my Zandalari druid, was my next character to his max. Druid was difficult. I wanted Zandalari because I wanted the dino druid forms, but I felt like I wasn’t being “loyal” to Tyrse (one ‘y’), my Tauren druid who I use a bank alt and is lower-level.

But the dino forms! This is Tyyrse in the middle in the tank form dancing with Lafayette, gem’s druid. Awesome!

Lastly, I leveled my Mag’har Orc warrior, Mostymush. I named him in honor of Mushkin, the coolest warrior I know. My friend Matt plays Mushkin and a character named Mostydead, so I combined the names. Warrior is awesome! Heroic Leap gives such fun mobility, and I feel so powerful playing the warrior. Mostymush is my 11th character to hit max level. All I’m missing is monk! I leveled him as a tank, which was insanely fun.

All in all, I played 198 matches of Korrak’s Revenge and won 158 of those. That’s a win rate of 79.8%! I leveled 8 characters to 120 with it. Thanks Korrak’s Revenge!

Happy Feast of Winter Veil

I hope everyone had a happy Feast of Winter Veil! This is me as Tyyrse on the left and gem as Diko on the right getting festive in Korrak’s Revenge.

We also visited the snow globe in Orgrimmar. This was me as Faiella and gem as Melantho but under transformations anyways.

The sleigh was a nice addition to the holiday this year, but the Horde version stopped early. It wasn’t spawning at all on the last night even though the on another server where I play Alliance was spawning in Ironforge still. This was the best picture I have riding it – me on Tyyrse and gem on Diko.

Here’s me as Kavax and gem as Xanau (and my awesome bear, Albert) meeting Greatfather Winter in Ironforge.

Seriously, she’s embarrassing.

Happy Winter Veil!
