Inspiration

The inspiration for this outfit is the beautiful Dragonstalker recolor set from TBC. It's a great looking set of easily attainable gear from TBC dungeons (and heroics) with an eye popping green and maroon color scheme.

Bringing it Together

The Dragon Stalker recolor is made up of the helm, shoulders, chest, belt, bracers, gloves, pants, and boots. To make it a cohesive set, I added the following pieces.

Shirt: I used the Common Grey Shirt. I originally used a green shirt, but found that there was just too much green from the shirt and cloak when viewed from behind. This grey shirt matches the darker grey on the armor set nicely.

Tabard: None. We don't want to obscure those beautiful colors!

Cloak: After searching a long time for just the right back piece with the proper green and maroon scheme without much luck, I opted to instead match the theme of the set, Dragons. I used Nomad's Woven Cloak with it's "scaled" look to reinforce the overall appearance. While the green matches the set well, the cloak has a couple of bright blue accents that don't. That is, until, we add the weapon.

Weapon: I went with Zod's Repeating Longbow to finish it off. The green accents on the bow match the green of the armor, and of course the dragon skull hand guard is awesome. The bow comes with some cool glowing blue animations (always a bonus in my books) that actually match with the above mentioned cloak. I really like to have a small amount of non-dominant color to break up and compliment a set, and it works great here.


I hope you enjoy my first transmog set for this blog. This set has been on my mind ever since I played TBC, and I'm happy to finally complete it for my fellow Hunters to see!

What are the rules?

What are the "Rules" I use when creating a transmog set? This blog is a little different from others around, and below I will outline how.

1. First, this isn't a "How to Get" transmog guide. I don't include information on how to get certain pieces. The purpose of this blog is to find just the right pieces of gear to make a cohesive and impressive set for your Hunter. The hard work (and fun!) is up to you!

2. With that being said, I do place restrictions on my creativity. Even though it's mail armor, perhaps it is unavailable to a Hunter, such as Shaman token gear or vanilla WoW pvp rewards that are only available if you achieved the original feat of strength. Only items available to the majority of Hunters will be used in sets.

3. However, I will use Wowhead links for the pieces to make it easier for you to track down the pieces needed for a set.

4. I play a male Human Hunter, and the majority of sets will be based on the Human model. Wowhead has a link to change the race and gender that you view transmog sets on, so I won't bother showing what it looks like on all of the races (to save time and effort on my part).

5. The colors have to match! Most of the fun I have creating transmog sets is the scouring of databases looking for exactly the right shade of dark grey to match the pieces I want. WoW uses about 10 different versions of "black" that just don't look right when you slap them all together. The challenge is in the hunt!

6. The styles have to match, too. If the armor piece we are basing a set around looks like it is made with scales or chain links, the rest of it better not look like fur!

Most of my sets start out as a single piece of gear, be it a weapon, helm, cloak, shoulders, tabard, or even boots! Once I am inspired, I use the above guidelines to began creating an attractive set of armor!
