To Transmog or Not to Transmog
I found a blog yesterday by Rinike: Rinikes Wardrobe. Her main blogging purpose is transmog stuff but she also blogs about other game-related topics. She also lives in Sweden which is nifty to this American girl who has never been outside of North America. And honestly, Mexico and the Bahamas barely count as even leaving the United States. Anyway, her blog got me to thinking about transmog.
This is one aspect of WoW in which I have yet to immerse myself. On the one hand, I think Ive gotten so used to wearing a mish mash of gear that it doesnt really even hit my radar. On the other hand, I have a hard time wrapping my head around running dungeons and raids just to get a piece of gear solely because of how it looks. Huh? What? Then I have to figure out what look I even want to go after. Basically, I dont know where to start.
Every once in a while Ill actually take notice of a piece of gear that one of my toons is wearing and stop long enough to think, "That looks nifty!" Then Ill save it back in my bank in hopes of finding other pieces along the line that will match. Then I wont play that toon for a few weeks, go back, clean out her bank and realize that the old, outdated gear I just sold was something that I had been saving for transmog purposes, rush back to the vendor to get it back, and discover that its been bumped off the buy back tab and forever lost in the mists. I do this. Often. I really dont think transmogging is for me.
My main, Maruka, does have a transmogged gear set. What?!?!?! Yeah. She does but before you get all excited for me, its generic pieces that I got from questing. I think. Its basically, more or less, this set: Osul Peak.
Turns out that its also known as the Stormscale Set which I didnt even know until just now when I browsed Wowhead for a screenshot to share on this post. I decided to use this for my transmog for two reasons: 1) Because I just happened to notice that I had a complete matching set before I sold it all. 2) Because the legs are a skirt instead of pants even though its a mail set.Yeah. Im real discerning, lol.
How much time do you spend on transmog? How far out of your way do you go to get a piece of transmog gear that you want?
