The Moan about The Robe of Doan
I’d forgotten how high maintenance this Warlock is. Always wants something. Almost the instant she hit 90 she started lobbying for 14 Haunting Spirits. My bank alt gave in finally and spent an astronomical amount just to shut her up. Warlock had to make her helm and boots, she couldn’t wait.
It should have been no surprise when she pulled her Robe of Doan out of the bank and said, “Here, let’s do something with this!” I told her I thought it made her look kinda like the headmistress at a posh boarding school, not a Warlock. I told her to look around, get some ideas and get back to me. She came back with an outfit she really liked that she saw at Altoholic Anonymous.
Cim soon came back to preview her version.
OMG! Cim, you ruined it with that top! You don’t look like a Warlock you look like a lion tamer. Just as well because the boots weren’t attainable, she must have already completed that quest. Okay, okay, back to Robe of Doan then.
I salute all those hardcore moggers out there. There are many I admire, they assemble countless outfits with seeming ease. This is hard work.
Weapon, easy. Slavedriver’s Cane. Cim just Hellfired through Stratholme three times.
High Councillor’s Sash, on the AH! This will take no time at all! Runecloth Shoulders and Cloak. Simple, just make them.
Now the going got tougher. She’d selected boots and gloves that were quest rewards in Outland. She hoped she hadn’t done the quests. Ashwalker’s Footwraps and Gloves of the High Magus were rewards from quests in Shadowmoon Valley. She had apparently started quests in SMV so we had to stumble around trying to pick up the chains where she’d left off.
Finally done, whew. The Tourmaline Crown she got when trying find where to pick up the quest for the Ashwalker’s Footwraps lookalike boots which we never found. She’s wearing it but I think I might turn off helm because all that twirling around is starting to work on my last nerve. Maybe it will grow on me.
Hopefully that will keep her quiet for a while. I only thank Elune she’s not into battle pets, she’d bankrupt me in no time at all.

Haha nice mogging

Thanks! She seems to be happy for now!

She looks fabulous – high maintenance or no, warlocks are in my top three of fun characters to mog. Now – matching minions? That would be something…

Oh! I like that, maybe a glyph that turns your demon the color of your choice to match your outfit!

Looking mighty swell there, Cimmeria!
But of course she wants to wear the Robe of Doan! It’s what all the fashionable Warlock trainers in Stormwind wear, after all. I went to a certain amount of effort to make sure that my Warlock had one of those before Scarlet Monastery got revamped.

Thanks Kam! I’m not positive but I seem to remember you’re the one who gave a heads up that it would be going away so she hurried in and got one!

Ooooo! Lookin’ good! ๐

Thanks Euph! Cat doesn’t care cause she’s a tomboy but the Warlock likes to dress up!
August 9, 2013 at 10:21 pm
Haha, she does look like a lion tamer in that shot. The end result looks great!

Thanks Cym! I do like it and it seemed a shame to let the robe gather dust in her closet.

Awesome transmog! I hope I kept one I’ll have to check my priest’s bank.
I wish there was a way to “buy” a transmog version of these wonderful old gear pieces that aren’t in the game anymore – maybe with the 8 million Lesser Charms we all have gathering dust?
August 13, 2013 at 1:57 pm
Oh what a great idea! I would love to be able to put those charms to good use and what better way than to buy lovely old pieces of gear!

I actually really like Cim’s tmog, Tome! ๐ Thanks tho–now I have to go hunting through Blade’s Edge for that helm before Blizz makes it extinct. /le sigh (to go with that chef Bacรณn bit) ๐

Thanks Anou! The helm came from the last quest helping out the Baron, I think the chain starts with the quest “Favor of the Gronn.”
