I have posted some screenshots prior of Illayeria, my 90 hunter.

Here are the details about the transmog she was wearing in those pics:

First of all, just want to make sure all my readers know I am still alive.  I haven’t posted anything in quite some time.  During that time I have missed things like IntPiPoMo 2012, but life just happens that way sometimes I guess.

I hit 90 on my hunter, Illayeria, about a month ago.  (I am taking forever to level toons this time.)  I still haven’t even got her to LFR level, but I did make some cool leveling screenshots to share.

My Craziest Hunter Tame Ever

ban'thalos, hunter, mount hyjal, tame pet, warcraft, world of warcraft, WOW


We’ve all heard the word “huntard.”  But even though everyone jokes about hunters being huntards, no one actually wants to be known as one.

My recent hunter experience, though, left me feeling a bit inadequate.

First off, let me say that my hunter is an alt.  I started raiding with her in cata but only as a backup for my husband’s team.  Towards the end of cata, she had respectable dps and item level, but it isn’t like I’m an experienced hunter vet.

Up until cata, the only difficult pet I had tamed was my white beetle from the former AQ40 raid.  My husband’s paladin took me in there and pulled mobs of beetles, while I ran around trying to tame one while being punted all over the place.  I named that beetle “Trouble,” but he was worth it as far as I was concerned.

During cata though, people constantly mentioned a rare pet that had just come out- Ban’thalos the owl in Mount Hyjal.

Ban’thalos

There were at least three times that I traveled as fast as my dranei legs could take me over to Hyjal to try to attain this bird.  Every time I went was fail though because other hunters would steal it from me by doing things like hitting tame first even though I had trapped it, etc….  I became so enraged at the whole idea of even attempting to tame this pet, that I pretty much said I would never have it.

Fast forward to last week.  I had deleted a profession to train mining, and I was up to obsidium in Hyjal.  I had one free pet slot that I had saved.  It suddenly occured to me…well, I could go get that stupid bird.  (I actually looked for the rare turtle first, but he wasn’t around.)

It’s not that I really wanted the bird by this point.  I even considered killing it if it was there just to spite everyone.  But something in me wanted to say- hey, I tamed Ban’thalos.

Several deaths and at least 20-30 minutes later, I still had not tamed this pet.  I had tried standing at several places on top of the statue/monument thing at Sanctuary of Malorne as well as several ledges behind trees around the statue.  He was always either out of range from standing position or I would die from fall damage if I flew up to shoot at him.

At this point I decided to consult Wowhead.  Good ‘ol Wowhead.com.  I decided to try another method, which involved falling backwards/disengaging into the lake near the owl’s flying area.

Two more deaths.  This time from stupid mistakes like pressing the wrong button.  Maybe I was getting too tired to do this (I had woken up at 4am and was still online blah blah…), but I was determined.

So I took a deep breath and decided to try one more time.

This is the order that has to happen when taming Ban’thalos with this method:
(Be in BM spec)
Position yourself between the pet’s spawn area and the lake in front of Sanctuary
Fly up to his range, which is very high
Hit dismount on flyer (thanks Blizz for adding this step)
shoot Ban’thalos with gun or bow
disengage with back facing the lake, land in the water or you die
get trap down
hit deterrence when he attacks you, especially if he uses ‘Harsh Moonlight’
hit tame beast

Flying up to Ban’thalos

This is what actually happened when I tried to get Ban’thalos:
I was OK until landing in the water…
I tried to jump out of the water, and I got stuck in the wall…had to waste deterrence
I laid my trap and ran around trying to get him to fly into it…he did not
I forgot to hit tame beast…ok ok, I admit that I haven’t tamed a pet in almost a year or more, but that is really embarrassing
I finally hit tame beast with 15% health or less left, was sure I would die

After taming this pain (note health bar)

But SCORE– I tamed Ban’thalos!!!  I named him PITA without a second thought.

So I guess it was a good thing I missed out on this pet all those times in cata.  Since I could barely tame him at 87, I am sure there is no way I would have done it at 85.

The results of Transmogolympics are flying in very quickly lately.  I looked tonight and realized I needed to do a blog update because I had missed so many results postings.

Some of the awards have been given without naming the scores for everyone, so I don’t know my scores in some cases.  No medals so far though, and I have been scoring pretty low when it has been listed.  A lot of competition out there though!

So here are my pictures from the new categories posted- hope you like them!

DISCUS (shield)

Cassie in Loch Modan

I was going for a black and gold look.  The items used were: Mugthol’s Helm, Field Plate Pauldrons, Hydralick Armor, Glorious Bindings, Stonegrip Gauntlets, Alabaster Plate Girdle, Golem Shard Leggings, Obsidian Greaves, Serpent Slicer, and Blackskull Shield.

WRESTLING (Use of an Oversized Belt)

Magdakine Flexes For You

This is the first outfit I did.  I put it together really quickly, and I love how it turned out.  I wish I had made the screenshot somewhere different… Here are the pieces: Renouncer’s Cowl, Burden of Lost Humanity, Defender Tunic, Southfury Gauntlets, Belt of Shattered Elementium, Sundered Legguards, Tsunami Boots, Hammer of Sparks, and Goblet of Anger (not shown).

ARCHERY (bow)

Natural Woman (erm elf)

On this outfit I was going for a natural look.  Some of these pieces are no longer available in game…. The pieces are:  Cormorant Helm, Blessed Pauldrons of Undead Slaying, Myrmidon’s Breastplate, Eradicator’s Bracers, Thornsnarl Gauntlets, Southfury Belt, Blessed Greaves of Undead Slaying, Amberpine Greaves, Massive Battle Axe, and Vishanka, Jaws of the Earth.

JAVELIN (Polearm)

As some of you may remember, I entered 10 outfits in the Transmogolympics contest last month.  First post here.

So far I am not doing so well.

The first category judged was cycling, which was creating a biker outfit to match the chopper mount.  This was one of my least favorite outfits I put together because I had to use a dwarf male hunter (and he is ugly), so I did not medal.  This is what I submitted:

Biker Dude

For anyone interested, the mail outfit is: Netherstorm Helm, Marshcreeper Mantle, War Torn Tunic, Grubbis Paws, Nightshock Girdle, Wrathfin Legguards, and Tsunami Boots.

The second category was hammer throw (2h mace shot).  I really thought I would do better in this one, but my paladin only scored a 344 from the judges (I think gold was 386?).  Was pretty disappointed, although I did originally have some concerns about the different shades of blue in the outfit.  Here she is:

In The Name of the Hammer!

Plate outfit is: Symbolic Crown, Pauldrons of Unholy Rituals, Adamantite Breastplate, Truesilver Gauntlets, Belt of the Sanctuary, Talonguard Legplates, Icebane Treads, and Sorrow’s End.

I am hoping as the contest moves along, they will get to my better outfits so I can win a medal and show them off here. 😀

Mog Challenge 2 For May – Mog Busting!

chromaggus, hunter, mail, purple mail, transmog, transmogging, transmogrification, warcraft, worgen, world of warcraft, WOW


Yay! I have finally been tagged for Mog Busting!…um a week ago at least. :O

Hey I’m a mom, I was kind of busy! Promise!

Anyways, Mog Busting was started by Shoryl of Tiny WOW Guild.  (original post)  Bascially I have to create a transmog outfit for a WOW blogger’s toon based on their character preferences and background.

I was tagged by Erinys of The Harpy’s Nest blog.  Here is the info I was provided:

Hunter named Twiceshy… likes to tailor her outfits to her pets, and since she’s about to head off on a mission to tame Chromaggus, she would love a suitable ensemble to wear out on the town with him.

When it comes to weapons, she’s most definitely a bow girl, crossbows if needs must…but never, ever guns. She is also quite partial to kilts but will also happily wear trousers or shorts.

Being ever so slightly feral, a side effect of being bitten and hanging out with animals all day long, showing skin doesn’t bother her at all. She doesn’t raid however, but everything else (i.e. not lv 85 raid content) is fair game.

I didn’t think the picture of Chromaggus on Petopia was very good, so I got my husband’s hunter out and checked him.  He is actually a purple and light grey pet, not brown as it appears on petopia.

Actual Pet

The next thing I did was check leatherworking patterns for some purple pants.  I found the Netherfury set and fell in love with it.  Unfortunately, it is only pants, boots, and a belt…nothing else.

So I had already disregarded the kilt info…sorry!  I also decided to disregard the showing skin info…this is Chromaggus we’re talking about honey, not your boyfriend.  In other words, these teeth marks might not go away!

As someone you trusted with this transmog, I hereby reserve the right to protect human (um or worgen) skin from damage!  So please accept the long sleeved chest and the padded helmet.  Here is the entire outfit:

Purple Mail from Front

I didn’t notice until finished with the outfit that Twiceshy is only level 63, so you have a bit of work to do before you can attain all of this outfit… here are the components and where to get them:

  • Songscale Breastplate (quest Fjord)
  • Netherfury Leggings (crafted)
  • Netherfury Boots (crafted)
  • Netherfury Belt (crafted)
  • Spaulders of Sealing (quest Desolace)
  • Helm of the Awakened (SM quest)
  • Corin’s Handguards (quest Bloodmyst)
  • Cloak of the Reverend (Quest EPL)
  • Barb of the Sand Reaver (Temple of AQ)
  • Riphook (LBRS)
 I used silverish gray in the chest, bow, and cloak especially to play off Chromaggus’s bindings.  The pointy stick should come in handy if he refuses to budge or starts to trample innocent watchers.
Here is the back:

Purple Mail from Back

Anyways Erinys, hope you like the transmog!  Hopefully the wish list isn’t too ridiculous….  And good luck with that new pet!

EDIT!!

OOPS I forgot to tag another blogger!  I am tagging Dizzy of Dizzy’s Dressing Room.  (challenge was not accepted)

5/20/12:  Trying again, tagging Rades of  Orcish Army Knife.  Do Chatmay proud!

Here is my info/guidelines:

Chatmay at Lv 80

Chatmay is a longtime resident of Stormwind City and war veteran.  She is known most of all for being a social butterfly and party hostess extraordinaire.  Rebel and wild-child in her younger days, she has mellowed out a bit in her middle-aged years, but she still knows how to have fun.  And even though she is known as friendly and outgoing in public, she occasionally makes a statement that it is not to be forgotten that she is a warlock.

Chatmay usually wears robes and loves ones that expose midriff or back.  Pants/tops are ok as long as they are stylish.  She rarely wears helms that show the neck but hide all of her hair (ew), but she does like hoods and masks.

Chatmay has recently acquired a dagger called Runesong Dagger, and is looking for something to wear with it.  She won the dagger when greatly outnumbered, so she wants the outfit to be a reminder to everyone – don’t mess with me.

Please make sure to list items for both hand slots (or main hand if staff) as well as a wand.

Thanks!

Mog Madness, Round Two!

So they are moving the top 20 WOW bloggers to round two of Mog Madness– and I was number twenty! WHEW!  I barely made it!

So I am having to step up my game here big time if I want to move to round three or even come close to being in the top three really.

This week’s directions were:

Now, we’re moving on to the wild.  The classes are limited to either a Hunter or a Druid and your outfit must be based on using either  Marrowstrike or Glaive of the Pit (same skin).

I usually always do my screenshots in game, and I would have tried to get the required polearm and other items just to do so.  However, we switched to AT&T Uverse this week, and our internet connection has been sketchy at best for the past few days.

So, I have resorted to downloading WOW Modelviewer and putting my outfit together using that and wowhead.com to meet this week’s deadline.  My screenshots are pretty basic this time because I am trying to learn how to use this program….

The polearm Marrowstrike had a blue and gold look, and it reminded me of some kind of knightly looking weapon.  Using my hunter Illayeria, I put together a gladiator/valorous alliance type look for her with blue and gold colors.

Hunter FTW

This outfit used:
Hateful Gladiator’s Chain Helm
Vest of the Den Watcher
Skybreaker’s Mantle
Sparkleshell Legguards
Trumphant Gauntlets
Triumphant Sabatons
Ornate Girdle
Cromush’s Cloak
(and… MARROWSTRIKE lol)

Crossbow Shot

If I could have used a ranged weapon, I would have chosen:

Grand Marshal’s Repeater

GO ALLIANCE!!! (and go me to round three!)

Giddy Up!
