I absolutely love the color red. Not only is it my favorite color, but you can actually sell me all sorts of shit I don’t need just by presenting it to me in red. I’m sitting at my desk at work right now and just in a quick glance I see a red pencil holder filled with red pens and pencils, a red water mug, my red lunch cooler, my red tupperware sitting on top of my cooler, my red mouse pad, my phone’s red case… I could go on. It’s probably a bit ridiculous, but I don’t care. My Nikon 3100 DSL is even red.
Obviously I love the color red in my video games too, though it’s easier to theme things red on the Horde side than on the Alliance side. Which is why when I faction changed my Worgen druid to a Troll druid several months ago, I was excited to be able to choose bright red hair. I wish all my characters could have bright red hair, it makes me sad. I know there are several races that are able to have a natural red hair color, but I don’t actually care for that color. I want the true red. The fire engine, superman’s cape color of red. It was my favorite thing about my troll.
But you know what else I’ve discovered I love? Transmogging. And I have recently completed a transmog set for my troll where the items look so good together I voluntarily changed my hair color away from red to match my outfit. Yes, it’s that big of a deal. It’s such a big deal, I had to show it off to you guys. I think the hair color makes the whole thing even more awesome looking because it’s seriously like an exact match. Also, while I do like the staff I’m carrying (it’s a kick as staff with bonus animation) I would be interested in finding one that goes along with the pale green color scheme a bit more so if you have any ideas, let me know.
Here are the pictures of the transmog outfit I gave up my red hair for and a list of items can be found below the pics.
Items:
Head = Runic Leather Headband
Shoulder = Epaulets of the Fateful Accord
Chest = Lunar Eclipse Robes (different colors depending on faction)
Wrists = Contender’s Leather Bracers
Hands = Embossed Leather Gloves
Waist = Melador’s Mercurial Wrap
Staff = Sulfur Stave
One advantage to wearing a robe is I don’t have to transmog my pants.
One advantage to being a troll is my boots don’t show. (not actually an advantage, I hate my troll feet)
One advantage to not displaying your cloak is … your cloak doesn’t display.

That does indeed look awesome! I’m also glad to know I’m not the only one who has changed my troll’s hair colour to match an outfit. ^.^
Ha ha, some things are just more important than hair color.
Now that’s an outfit to change your hair color for!
Thanks! It all started accidentally as I didn’t realize Horde version of Lunar Eclipse Robes were colored differently. When I spent all the time and money on the pattern and then making the robes, I was mad they were not what I expected. Almost sold the item, was disgusted and didn’t look at it for weeks. Finally decided to revisit the outfit and now I like it better than what I had originally wanted.
The hair does compliment the outfit š
Yeah, as much as I love red hair I just don’t think I’d look as good if I hadn’t changed it.
Maybe it’s an age thing? Some red-heads moderate over time to copper or auburn. It’s a little known fact that ginger Trolls turn aqua when they mature!
Or if they get scared their hair doesn’t go white, but greenish-blue?
OMG, most people never really guess that I’m old but you figured it out. Lol. I mean, my troll. is old. Not me. (cough)
But having multi-colors makes you flamboyant! Or a clown… I need to do this. Lol.
Lol. I looked like a clown the whole time I was leveling up, trust me. š
Very nice and for sure the hair makes it perfect! Maybe the Staff of Athen’a?
Hey thanks for that suggestion. From the screenshots I saw, that may indeed be a great match. I’ll have to see if I can get my hands on that sometime soon.
