I love mixing and matching different ‘official’ gear sets. And apparently, this is a cardinal sin of transmog but I especially love mixing sets from different expansions. Sometimes, one can really tell the age difference of those pixels. But every so often, I get it right. And what I create is a great fusion of two different eras of WoW.
Today’s sets aren’t entirely fusion sets but a good number are! I am featuring a lot of plate and cloth after the leather heavy last article. Without further ado, here they are!
I always loved the cloth BoA set that the garrison Bunker/Mill sold. However, I was not as big a fan of the rather revealing nature of the robes from that set. And on the other hand, I’ve always loved this chest model from BC. So I took pieces from both and fused them together! I think this one turned out really nicely! Since both are from ‘Draenor’ of sorts, it keeps with the extraterrestrial and rugged theme. The pieces of set should be very easy and inexpensive to obtain, which is another bonus!
The chest piece can come in either robe or shirt model, which lets you choose if you want to wear a skirt or pants.
Chest: Eternal Chestguard (shirt) or: Eternal Wraps (robe)
Pants: Shadowmoon Leggings Shoulder: Shadowmoon Shoulderguards
Head: Shadowmoon Cowl Hands: Eternal Gloves
Feet: Eternal Boots Waist: Shadowmoon Sash
This set unfortunately is restricted to paladins only, which is a shame because it’s such a great plate set. I mixed WoD PvP gear with a personal favorite of mine- the Overlord plate set. The result was a more rugged (might I say… savage?) paladin set that works great for displaying tabards. I picked the Shado Pan tabard because the colors contrasted nicely, but any tabard would work well.
Chest: Overlord’s Chestplate Pants: Overlord’s Legplates
Head: Overlord’s Crown Wrists: Overlord’s Vambraces
Waist: Primal Gladiator’s Girdle of Victory Tabard: Shado-Pan Tabard
Shoulder: Primal Gladiator’s Scaled Shoulders (paladin only)
Hands: Primal Gladiator’s Scaled Gauntlets (paladin only)
Feet: Primal Gladiator’s Warboots of Prowess
I almost didn’t want to share this next set; I liked it that much. But since I love you guys that much, I will show you the Best Transmog for Draenei Mages Evah™. The set is a mix of BC tiers with a WoD staff added in. I absolutely love the colors and mageyness and I think the set actually looks good on any race! (But best on draenei). And excepting the head, the rest of the set is not class restricted!
Chest: Robes of Effervescent Light Shoulder: Mana-Sphere Shoulderguards
Head: Cowl of the Tempest (mage only) Hands: Energis Armwraps
Feet: Silent Slippers of Meditation Waist: Oracle Belt of Timeless Mystery
Staff: Sol’s Magestaff (Normal mode drop)
This was another one of those ‘I want to keep this all to myself’ sort of sets, but I decided to post it all the same. I’m sure versions of this have been done before, but I really, really like this one that I made. It’s everything that a paladin should be: radiant, glorious, and shiny. And you guessed it; it’s also paladin restricted.
Chest: Breastplate of Radiant Glory (paladin only) Feet: Pillarfoot Greaves
Shield: Skyguardian’s Shield Sword: Azuresong Mageblade
Pants: Vicious Gladiator’s Scaled Legguards (paladin only)
Shoulder: Vicious Gladiator’s Scaled Shoulders (paladin only)
Hands: Vicious Gladiator’s Scaled Gauntlets (paladin only)
Waist: Vicious Gladiator’s Clasp of Cruelty (paladin only)
I’ve always loved the style of the Tier 4 Mage set, but I try not to transmog an entire tier. So I took bits and pieces of the PvP recolor, matched it with a classic robe, and voila! I like the simplicity and mystery as well as the color coordination of this one! (And yes, this is mage only)
Chest: Robes of Shame Shoulder: Merciless Gladiator’s Silk Amice (mage only)
Waist: Veteran’s Silk Belt Head: Merciless Gladiator’s Silk Cowl (mage only)
Hands: Merciless Gladiator’s Silk Handguards (mage only)
Feet: Veteran’s Silk Footguards
And last but not least, an oldie but goodie! Two versions for you to mix and match with! (And no class restrictions)
Chest: Conqueror’s Breastplate or: Hyperion Armor
Pants: Legplates of Blazing Light Shoulder: Replica Lightforge Spaulders
Head: Crown of Empowered Fate
Feet: Magma Tempered Boots Weapon: Blade of the Titans
Hands: Heretic’s Gauntlets or: Fiery Plate Gauntlets
Waist: Hyperion Girdle or: Girdle of the Fallen Crusader
Lots of paladin, mage, and PvP gear this time round! I think my next challenge will be to create some good mail sets since that is the one type of gear I haven’t hit yet.
What do you think of these? Any suggestions or improvements you would recommend?
Growing up in Azeroth 
There’s nothing wrong with mix and matching. I do it all the time. Nice job on the sets. 🙂
Thank you!! 😀
Those are awesome sets and very well matched. It’s really making me want to get back into running around and getting more stuff for transmogs – I need to clean out my bank some too. 😀
Thank you! I’m now trying to farm these up, and I’m fast running out of space 😛
Thank you so much, my paladin just reached Draenor and i was thinking about a transmog set, i wanted something a little bit different and Radiant Light looks perfect.
I wanted to use Crystalforge Armor, the white version of it, but it does not have a waist piece or legs, and i’m upset about it because i think it’s such beautiful set .. anyway, thank you, i’m going to farm the set you suggested 🙂
Awesome! I’m so glad you liked it! That’s the set I’m trying to build on my paladin as well! For the PvP armor, I would recommend going into Ashran for an afternoon. I got into a good group and got enough honor points to buy all the pieces in just a couple hours.
