Blizzard Tier Set Retrospectives

Blizzard has posted the final in their series of Tier 13 armor previews which included retrospectives on tier sets going all the way back to Tier 1. These retrospectives are a great way to look back over the previous tier sets to find ideas for transmogrification or simply to take a trip down memory lane.

Head past the jump to find links to the retrospectives for each class as well as a few of the retrospective images with my favorite tier sets.

Steve Jobs, 1955-2011 - My Example Of Excellence For Over 13 Years.

Apologies for going a little off topic but we all lost a shining example of excellence today.

On the Apple website announcing Steve Job's passing was the following: If you would like to share your thoughts, memories, and condolences, please email rememberingsteve@apple.com.

Below is what I wrote to Steve.

Steve, 

I came to really know and love Apple right after you had come back to the company. The iMac was so much more than any other computer I'd seen in my life. It was just "right". Since then you continues to build product after product that inspired my and changed my life. 

More than anything you showed that excellence is possible if only you believe and are dedicated to making the absolute best product you can. 

My life will forever be changed by your example and I hope to live up to that example. 

You will be missed but not forgotten Steve. 

With gratitude,
-Jim Younkin 

While the ache I feel in my heart for the loss of Steve will take a while to pass the fact that even right up until the end he was leading by example will be something I will remember for the rest of my life.

Blizzard Clarifies Mogging Rules (So Far)

In a blue post on the Blizzard forums (see "(Sticky) Transmogrification Rules") Community Manager Kaivax took time to give further clarifications on the rules for transmogrification. For those of us who are excited about the possibilities of transmogrification and have been running old content and/or collecting gear these rules could be a big help. We don't waste time getting gear that ultimately won't be usable for mogging (*cough* Dark Herring *cough*).

Head after the jump where we provide all the rules as well as give our thoughts.

Dungeon Diggin' - The Mechanar's Best Looking Items

Dungeon Diggin' is a series where we scour through old instances looking for unique and interesting looking armor and weapons. 


For today's Dungeon Diggin' we are heading to The Mechanar. This instance was introduced in The Burning Crusade and is one of the four floating inter-dimensional spaceships (the Exodar was originally one of this group of ships as well) that can be found in the western edge Netherstorm in Outlands. Follow us after the jump where we look at some the best looking items in The Mechanar.

Great Looking Uncommon Mail Sets

This is the third in our series (see our previous leather and plate posts) based on Wowhead News' fantastic transmogrification post with numerous links to matching uncommon (AKA "green") items. (See "Transmogrification, Part 4: Matching Greens" at Wowhead News) I was fascinated at the variety and quality of some of these sets that we may have passed over in the past as we leveled past them.

Follow us past the jump we're going to be highlighting some of the most interesting and unique looks among uncommon mail item sets in World of Warcraft.
