Mastering tanks, one boss at a time.
Why is it easier for me, a devoted pve raider, to get complete pvp transmog sets than complete pve transmog sets?
I don’t do battlegrounds. Wherever a Mark of Honor daily pops up, I do it on my three max level characters and get a enough tokens for a whole pvp set plus a little bit of progress to the next. It takes 15 minutes. Easy squeezy.

When Nighthold came out and I realized I was missing several pieces that only dropped in Emerald Nightmare, I decided to compile a list of where I can get all the monk and dh tier 19 models so that I know exactly what to spend my bonus roll tokens on.
Also, with the new Armor 2.0 models that don’t always display well on Wowhead (with all the cool knickknacks on the boots and gloves), I wanted to take my own pictures to remind me how pretty they are.
There’s also going to be the new Transmog Sets UI coming in 7.2, so I wanted to get ahead of the game and track them before Blizzard does.
So I wrote up some pages on the class guides with Tier 19 models. Eventually I’ll expand it to include all transmog this expansion, including lookalikes and questing gear.
I finally completed my Challenge Modes (as Windwalker…I’m sorry), which means I have all these new trasmog outfits! These sets aren’t completely new. They might be old sets with slight modifications to better match the weapons.
By the way, if you’re looking for advice in Challenge Modes, there’s a Tankcast for that!

Here are the transmog sets I’ve created so far this expansion. Each is named after the title I sport while wearing that set. I have a couple sets that are a bit different between races because some look really good on some races and really bland on others.
I really like mounts. Not collecting them, but a select few that are important to me. One of my recurring dreams is riding on a horse around. (Too bad the horses in this game don’t look like horses.)
The best races also have the best hair. It’s no coincidence — you never really see your character’s face in action, but you’ll see her pigtails swinging wildly every time you hit a thing. So here are the best ones.
The best hairs:
I don’t normally go with humans, but they do have a wide variety of good hairs.
A classic. Sideswept bangs, practical length. If only ever race could have this basic look.
Basic ponytail with sideswept bangs. For the active and stylish ladies.
Overlong bangs, but the curls are lovely.
Dwarves have the advantage of braids to add lots of movement. Sadly, most of the braided hairstyles have ugly bangs.
A round face to pull of short pigtails. This is acceptable. The bangs don’t hurt.
Cropped hair with lots of little braids throughout. This is my favorite dwarf style because it’s spunky but with just a little bit of dwarven complexity.
A classic bun. It feels like there’s a lot of thick red hair under control.
Gnomes have one very cute hairstyle: the pigtails. But everyone has them, so you’ll have to look somewhere else if you want to break the mold.
Of course, can’t go without mentioning the classic. Lots of movement, nice bangs, strong silhouette.
A bit of a break from my mold, since this style doesn’t have sideswept bangs and long hair. But it makes up for that with some attitude!
Here’s a relaxed ponytail, which I typically don’t like but as gnomes don’t have many options, it’s the best we’ll get.
Night elves get to use some of the sportiest hairs, plus some awesome colors.
What a nice headband! The World of Warcraft needs more hair accessories.
A cute little pixie cut. Not bounce here, but she makes it look cute.
My favorite night elf haircut, just because of the cute little tail in the back. I wear my hair like this quite often (but with bangs).
Worgen hair often looks the same at first glance, but there are many little details, like curls and braids, that really make each hairstyle stand out. They also benefit from having a mane, which means that hats will never turn the bulk of their hair off. Too bad all the color choices are boring.
Little pinned clumps and one of the few worgen styles with bangs. For the rugged worgen.
A tight little braid at the side plus some classy waves.
I like the bump at the top, provides some nice volume (not that worgens really lack for volume). Plus she has some cute little knots at the side.
This picture doesn’t do it justice, but this style is great because it has a thick braid down the back.
Draenei have some cool styles that work around their horns. I can’t wait to see the upped resolution versions. (Their models are currently a little broken on beta.)
These are the best bangs, and the whole style incorporates the horns such that no race could borrow this hair do. It looks simple and athletic.
This pony tail is great. Nice bangs, high tail.
Bangs so full that they cover half the face. Elegant.
My favorite style ever. Curls and a headband that almost looks like a tiara.
As mentioned above, pandaren necks look strange for some reason. That’s unfortunate, given that pandaren have access to some otherwise excellent ponytails. They also only have direct control over the colorful accents, not the bulk of the hair.
She’s got some nice volume in the back, plus accessories (chopsticks?)!
My favorite pandaren style because it’s got everything: cool bangs, a pony tail for movement without baring the neck, braids, and accessories!
These are the best pigtails for pandaren because the hair color is nicely distributed.
Blood elves have a ridiculous number of pretty hair styles. Many races borrowed these hairstyles, they’re just that good.
Ah, the “Rachel”. A classic hairstyle that looks good on any face.
The humans have this style too, but I think blood elves take it to an entirely different level.
I really like this style’s bangs and headband.
The classic ponytail, borrowed by the draenei.
Standard sideswept bangs with loose hair.
Despite being a small race, usually relegated to one or two pigtail variations and that’s it, goblins actually lucked out with a multitude of complete looks.
Little curly cue.
Everyone needs more fauxhawks.
Just so many sideswept bangs. I can’t even.
Skull accessory!
Great way to break up a bare forehead — with some loose wisps of hair.
Not only are the bangs amazing, but the pigtails are giant ringlets.
I wish these bangs would show up more often in such a cute way.
Triple pigtails amg.
Trolls haven’t had their makeover yet, so I’m mostly assuming these styles will become more awesome at that point.
There’s just so much going on in this ‘do, a mohawk, braids. So much hair.
I don’t think this style looks great now, but I’ll give it points because I think it will look great with a few more polygons.
Sometimes it’s nice to have a style that doesn’t shave anything off.
Poor tauren. They only have four styles total, so out of kindness I featured three.
The classic main. I like this one because it makes the most sense (where do they get all that hair for pig tails longer than the rest of the mane?).
This is the ‘cute’ style for tauren. Two pigtails aren’t good enough, why not four!
Undead really have no good choices right now, though that might get changed when the updated models are in the beta. But they’re always gross so good luck with that.
Really this hair is okay because it just goes everywhere.
I dunno, this is probably the style she died in.
Just that little spot on her head grows that much hair.
Not exactly sure how to describe this, but
Here are some of the new transmog sets I’ve created lately.
