Well, I got the chest.....

I got the Breastplate of Rapid Striking, but can't figure out what to put with it, lol. I was looking in WMV and found some things that kinda matched, but I can't acquire them (raids and such). Any ideas? :)

Ergh, I took a quick browse through MogIt, and I have to say...those colours just don't seem to match any other mail items. It doesn't appear that Blizzard made a complete set for that chest, or if they did it's a different armor type. There's some green things I saw, but I'm kinda picky about colour hues and none of the greens are the same type. >.<

Closest thing I could think of was maybe adding it with the green feathered set, aka http://www.wowhead.com/item=15553 and http://www.wowhead.com/item=17754 and so on.

Captain's Leggings might -kinda- work, but they're going more into a yellow tone: http://www.wowhead.com/item=7487

It's officially plate artwork but other colours have been used a bit on mail.

Sadly the only other piece in green (which also happens to be mail) is just the bracers :( Noxxion's Shackles.

Such a shame, it's my favourite colour of the art too.

See my comment here for the bits of other colours you can get:

Super tricky that Teal/Green Color, there are not really not many mail pieces that I can think of that match it, though it is a beautiful chest.

Let me have a bit of a play around tonight on MogIt and see what I can come up with. :)

I came up with a couple of things. They're far from perfect, but I don't think they're toooooo horrible. ;)

They're Tauren feets... perfect for heavy duty butt kickin! :P

Rhy - if you haven't already been there I'd recommend http://www.icy-veins.com/transmogrifica ... dels-guide

That's where I usually go when I'm stuck on a mog set - they have stuff for all classes.

EDIT: Got bored, made a set. :)

I rather like what you've done with it so far :)

I think the first one flows a bit better. Oh and Tarn those arent her "hooves" they're the boots shes wearing. Makes her look like she has them but she has normal night elf feet. :)

Added a pic of my take on this set, above. :)

The boots match great on your set Worba, but they are horde only.

Yea, I know... I suppose using a draenei model was kind of a bad choice.

Here it is on a BE :D

I still think those boots are the one really "perfect" fit for that chest though.

I think I like the first one better, too. Now to farm heroic ICC and PvP! :lol: I haven't even finished the current set I'm wearing. XD

Thanks for all your help and advice, everyone! Those boots do look nice, but sucks that they're Horde-only. :(

I have to say, i think the 2nd set it far more attractive, the legs in the first one look way to different and not really meshing well in terms of graphics due to probably being from different expansions and in colors in general. The 2nd pair of legs goes well graphically with the shoulders and has the proper hue of greenish-blue and the 'metal' (my general name for something that is plain and simply uncolored metal). The belt and boots compliment the gem in the shoulders perfectly already and the legs have a bit of the greenish-blue just before the boots that really brings together the greenish-blue colors of the set rather then having the purple extend down to the legs while the greenish-blue only extending to the waist

Hmm, I see what you're saying. I have to admit, I do prefer the color of green in the second set's leggings better. It matches the chest more closely.

By the looks of it, its part of the matching set to the hands and shoulders, so it really brings the outer frame of the character together

The good news is that I don't have to do PvP for the shoulders, gloves and legs. Woot! However, I need to somehow manage to get into a heroic ICC run and hope that what I need drops. x_x
