Transmogrification is a popular feature inWorld of Warcraftfor those who enjoy playing on the retail orCataclysm-eraservers. It allows even more unique and creative customization options for each character, and collecting different types of gear just for the “transmog” has become just as important as questing or raiding.
Transmog was introduced in theCataclysmexpansion, but players didn’t have to start from scratch. Many of the gear and weapons that the character had already obtained were available for transmog when the expansion was released, and any item they obtained through quests, crafting, or drops will also appear in the Transmog catalog. Here are some of the best transmogs that were available to players inCataclysmwhen the practice was new.
The Transmog sets available to each character are limited to the type of gear their class can wear, so casters will only have cloth transmogs but classes like Paladins or Warriors will have the plate and mail gear. Some of the most sought-after items are also the most difficult to obtain and can be rare drops from obscure bosses, PvP rewards, or raid sets.
Circle Of Flame
A Crown Of Living Fire
It’s a mid-level item that drops from this optional boss at a rate of about 2%, but the design makes it one of the most sought-after in the game. There’s only one other item like it, the Crown of Desolation, and this is a plate item that drops from Ragnaros in the Molten Core raid, and is considerably even more difficult to get.
How To Find Ambassador Flamelash
Retail WoW includes a feature called level scaling, which means if you want to acquire this item the dungeon will bescaled to the same levelas the character, and you’ll need a group to fight Flamelash. The following directions are forCataclysm, which doesn’t have level scaling, making it possible for high-level characters to do this alone.
This route is a shortcut that assumes the player has run the dungeon at least once before and has the keys to get into the West Garrison. If this is their first time to BRD, they can still take the long route alone, depending on their level and class, but have a map or guide of this extensive dungeon on hand before you do so.
Black Embersilk Gown
A High-Level Crafted Item
This item is one of the new cosmetic pieces of clothing that was introduced inCataclysm.A character needs a Tailoring skill of 500 to make it and it costs 8 bolts of Embersilk to purchase, so players that have different professions can commission one or buy one at the Auction House.
It’s not as easy as it looks, however, because this purely cosmetic piece of clothing requires an eyebrow-raising amount of expensive and rare materials. That includes Volatile Fire, which drops from specific high-level enemies in Mount Hyjal and the Twilight Highlands, and Chaos Orbs, which only drop from the final Boss of heroic-level dungeons and are soulbound, so they can’t be bought or sold.
The LFG function inCataclysmwill only show the option for Heroics if your character has a total gear score of 329 or higher. Chaos Orbs don’t drop in normal dungeons.
Robe Of The Malefic
Part Of A Legacy Raid Set
In the modern game, this is a key part of a whole transmog set that every caster wants. The helm, called the Hood of the Malefic, which features longhorn-style horns and procs a set of giant bat wings,is also impressive. The only way to get this set is to join a raid for Mount Hyjal, win the roll for the Chestguard of the Forgotten Conqueror when it drops from Archimonde, and item that can then be traded with Tydormu
How To Find Tydormu
The vendors who trade these pieces are often in awkward places, and Tydormu is one example. Once you have the required token, this is how you find him to exchange it.
Katoom’s Mask
The Highest Fashion From Revantusk Village
This is the headpiece for a larger set known as the Dream Bough Regalia, and it’s fairly easy to get providedyou stumble on this obscure questin the Hinterlands.
This particular headpiece is only available to Horde players, but if Alliance players are looking for something similar, the Demon Killer Mask is available as a reward from the “Infernal Encroachment” quest in Desolace that’s available to both factions.
