Patch 4.3 – Transmogrifying Is Addicting
I never thought I’d be “that guy”.
You know the guy I’m talking about. I’m referring to that one person who is so vain and so worried about the appearance of their character that he’ll do all sorts of stupid, mindless things just to get that one piece of gear that looks “cool.”
Damn you Transmogrification. Damn you for making me into that which I hate the most.
I’ve been people talking about getting their old Tier sets… wait, scratch that. I’ve heard people talking about “mogging”, a completely fictional word that has caused a number of my brain cells to implode. Anyway, I’ve heard people discussing how cool various tier sets look, but I’m not really into raiding so much. Oh I probably could, but I just don’t need a piece of window dressing so bad that I’ll farm an instance repeatedly with a bunch of people, then have to roll on the one piece on the off-chance it drops. Instead, I’ll farm something by myself, for myself, if I really want it so bad. That’s how I roll, you see.
But never would I have thought that I’d be interested in farming Paladin gear for a Warrior. What can I say, I like the Lucha Libre Helmet. Luckily, this look-alike drops in a farmable zone.
For those of you who are like-minded (and possibly just a bit anti-social) who are interested in farming look-alikes of other classes teir sets, peep out Wowpedia for some assistance in that department. However, if you’re one of those hard-core types and are planning to get your own tier set, Wowhead News had a great article on getting the various available tier sets.
I bet the RP sites are getting hits like crazy now that people are looking for different outfits. Places like Warcraft Looks, Wow Fashionist. and The Visual Roleplay Gear List have listings of unique items and ideas, which is where I got the idea for the Helm above. Also, another article from Wowhead News points out some unique-looking weapons. Patch 4.3 will have people mogging all of –
I… I can’t believe I just used that word. Damn you Transmogrification!
