Green / Purple Hunter Set - Lenore

Unread post by Worba »

Lenore was inspired by the departed love interest in Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven". In her RP backdrop she is a vaguely menacing figure with an affinity for taming various nasty creatures, so I wanted a set that would fit this without being overtly demonic (I didn't want anyone to mistake her for a warlock!).

I'd bought her the heirloom bow, but somehow it didn't seem to fit the bill. Then one day while running dailies on my frost DK, I looted Valanos' Longbow, and the seed of an idea was planted - this would be the centerpiece of Lenore's transmog set.

As my DK was also a blacksmith I crafted a Fel Iron Chain Tunic, and combined that with a couple leftover quest items (Gloves of Marshmanship and Hearty Cenarion Cincture).

I found several more on the AH for cheap (Unyielding Spaulders, Soldier's Leggings, Jazeraint Boots), and bought an Ethereum Phase-Spear from an NPC vendor, but something more was needed.

Although the mail chest had the nice overlapping green plating I wanted, it was also rather skimpy, so I ran BRD until Master Builder's Shirt dropped - it took a while but as it was the only shirt in the right color, it was worth it.

The final touch was the Purple Trophy Tabard of the Illidari; an obscure quest reward from SMV, this really tied it all together for me.

Humm. This? I'd thought you couldn't 'mog from it as it's white... but from the comments apparently you can.

I'll give it a try next time the fair comes around. Thanks for the suggestion.
