Homeward Bound
Since my first Worgen character was a DeathKnight, I have completely missed out the Worgen starting zone, so whilst in the area for Archaeological purposes, I thought I would drop by Gilneas and see for myself where 'home' really is.
After a little flying around, and finding no NPCs I left, but with the intent to come back and try and complete the starting quests, firstly to completely finish them and see how the starting zone/quests look and to ultimatly get exalted with Gilneas.
I love the building designs, very gothic. Gives the place the eerie atmosphere to go with the history of being locked away from the world for so long. Sadly there were no NPCs to interact with, which I hope is to do with me not doing any prequests/start quests, but will have to look into that and see where the quests actually start. Need to clear some time to do this very soon!

Worgens VS Helmets Part 3: Leather Edition
The third installment of Worgens VS Helmets and this time I focus on Leather users and what hat problems they could potentially face!
Looks perfect on a wolf <3
Perfectly sits over the eye, and doesn't mess up your hair! :D
My ultimate favourite leather hat on a worgen! The fit is perfect, my hair blends at the back with the feathers, just love it, seriously considering levelling a Worgen Druid JUST to get this set. Amazing!
The Bad
When this one first came out with SSC, I remember people in my guild wanting it so badly, firstly the upgrade but secondly because it looked so bad they wanted to scare people, that tells you all you need to know.
Just no.
It has horns and I do not approve! Can't put my finger on it but it just doesn't work for me.
Another perfect example of a seriously over stretched helmet.
Wayyyyyy too stretched..
This is by far the creepiest, nightmare inducing one, just.. WHAT is that!?
These are just my personal hates/likes, have you seen anything that has
made you do a double take? Not just on worgens, but any race would be
good to compare, for both good or bad reasons, and if so please do share
them with me via leaving a comment or tweeting me at @KaitzWoW

The Good
 |
| Flamecaster's Burning Crown |
Love the detailing on this one, the recoloured eyes and the cowl/collar looks to leather hats have always been a favourite of mine and they have done a fantastic job on this one.
 |
| Spirit Keeper Helm |
Not the coolest, but I do like the proportions on a wolf, not too big, not too small and doesn't look too daft from the side.
 |
| Cowl of the Clicking Menace |
Points awarded again for detailing and I LOVE the colour!
 |
| Bonescythe Helmet |
Love this as it tucks under the hair and doesn't look ridiculous like some bandana shaped/type ones. Love love love <3
 |
| Crown of the Forest Lord |
Horns? Check! Love this druid tier recolour <3
 |
| Cursed Vision of Sargeras |
 |
| Ragefury's Eyepatch |
 |
| Guise of the Tidal Lurker |
The Bad
 |
| Cover of Ursol the Wise |
This just makes me feel sad when I look at it.
 |
| Guise of the Midguard Serpent |
 |
| Guise of the Devourer |
 |
| Helm of the Majestic Stag |
Another perfect example of a seriously over stretched helmet.

Just Keep Diggin'!
Archaeology is one of those professions people either absolutely love, or they cannot stand it, and for me I really enjoy it! <shameless realm first link>
I personally just put on some music and the time passes very very quickly. Before I knew it I was in need of some more training, from the one and only, Mr Harrison Jones. I love how he is the trainer <3
On my travels I have taken some screenshots of what I have seen during my archaeology expedition, things I didn't notice before and now have taken the time to appreciate.
For now I will just keep diggin'

Getting back to why I am bothering with Archaeology on a second character, well because of faction changing, I don't feel right without my main having all the secondary professions, at least then, I won't feel like I am missing out on anything and can grind/farm any new items that are added, which I'm keeping everything crossed would be some new pets.
I would love to look the part whilst skilling up, and have found some great Archaeology themed items on MogIt which I hope to pick up in the near future.

Pet Battles with Spectators, Cageable Carp and other pet madness!
Wow I have missed alot of news since I have been offline!
Whilst catching up on WoW 5.3 news, of course the focus points were any pet changes, upgrades, nerfs and new features. It might be old news to some of you reading, of which I apologise, but I will repeat it anyway! ;D
Not sure if this is a good or bad thing yet to be honest, I can see why they would introduce this but it may prove some problems too, especially on a PVP server, would those watching the battle become immune like the battling players? Need to find some more info out before I decide. Source MMO-Champ.
This video taken from MMO-Champion shows what it would look like from the spectators point of view.
I for one am a little relieved that the 5.2 four fishable carp pets will soon be cageable and up for trading/sale, as I haven't seen any of these little guys whilst fishing. I know the drop rate is low and for those who did get them whilst fishing will be pretty annoyed that their hard work is being downgraded, however for those like me who are finding it increasingly hard to find WoW time, I can still enjoy and collect pets like this which might otherwise take up hours of my time which I do not have to spare. I do sympathise with those who got them the fair and square way, but they will know they did so and hate the gratification that they got them 'before the nerf' so to speak. Source from Wowhead.
Sadly this news has been confirmed by Cory Stockton aka @mumper via twitter. When will he be available!!?? Only time will tell. The Skyclaw mount from Engineering is also not making an appearance. Source via MMO-Champ.
A mixture of feelings about this news, but quite sad to hear I will be even longer without my very own Pierre :<

I think time is speeding up..
Hey everyone,
Firstly I must apologise for the lack of posts, I haven't been able to find time to WoW for over a week now so with no WoWing done, I have no WoW related posts or news or gossip to comment on :(
Will be scanning through MMO, WarcraftPets, WoWhead and anywhere else for a few hours to catch me up to date.
All I know is I have missed Childrens week, or it will be going as I log in haha! It's no problem as I believe I have the achievements/pets for it anyway, but its always nice to take part. The Darkmoon faire is in town so will have to hit the trainer asap!
Again, apologies for the lack of posts, hoping to correct this and get some posts done and scheduled.

Worgens VS Helmets Part 2: Mail Edition
This is part 2 of the Worgens VS Helmets posts I have felt compelled to do since I struggle to show helmets on my own wolf most of the time.
This selection is the good and bad helmets, in my opinion that is, that are for mail wearers. (Apologies for the picture quality, I used mog it since I dont literally own these helmets)

The Good
 |
| Crest of the Grand Warband |
I love the looks of this helmet and theres a few recolours of it too which is nice to see. The proportions match well with the wolf profile.
 |
| Forest Prowler's Helm |
Very detailed, perfect size for a worgen face, and still love the eye that moves randomly around!
 | |
| Crown of Flame |
Tiara/Crown type helmets do look good on Worgens and this one is a particular favourite with the swirling fire on the front, its an updated take on the Crown of Destruction from old raggy in Molten Core.
 |
| Gaze of Gara'jal |
I first saw this model on a guildy who is a panda and it looked amazing on him, and again the proportions of it being quite comfortably a bit longer for the worgen face, it looks great! Great detail on the model too.
 | |||
| Maulgar's Warhelm |
Another nice tall helmet, but featuring a dragons face, can't go wrong with that!
The Bad
 |
| Demon Stalker Greathelm |
This is a classic example of a helmet way too over stretched and just looking absolutely crazy! Just wow...
 | ||
| Horns of the Spurned Val'kyr |
Words just cannot describe this one. O_O
 |
| Helm of the Crown |
This is the same model of the Hunter Giantstalker tier set, and it just looks boring and a really odd shape imo.
 |
| Energized Retinal Armor |
I always was jealous of engineers when I would see them run past in the fancy goggles and specs that they could make, but on second thoughts I wouldn't be too pleased if I had made these for my wolf. My eyes look too close together and in general, not that impressed.

Worgens VS Helmets Part 1: Plate Edition
Being a lady Worgen has its good and bad points, and under the bad points category, the top complaint/worry when a new tier is coming is 'What the hell will the helmet look like on my wolf?!'
I wanted to take the time to show some of the 'OH DEAR GOD THAT'S HIDEOUS' and also the 'Thankgod it fits properly' moments when I have been fortunate to get an upgrade or just browsing in MogIt/AtlasLoot. I am a plate wearer myself, but I feel Worgens get the worst pick when it comes to mail, leather and cloth helms too, so I will be showing you through my best and worst in those sections too.
So here are my picks of the plate helmets, please note this is very image heavy!

So here are my picks of the plate helmets, please note this is very image heavy!
'OH DEAR GOD THAT'S HIDEOUS' selection:
I can see the look and appeal of this helmet, perhaps on other races, however Worgens tend to have thier hairstyle wildly sticking out the back and also tend to have the helmets sticking out at the sides and front to accomodate their nose/muzzle? This one I am just not sure on at all..
I absolutely LOVE the paladin judgement set, I think its still probably in the top five sets of all time and the only way to get my DK something as close as I can to it, was to farm the TBC heroic 5 man set which is recoloured to the purple/pink version you see here. I was quite disappointed when I discovered the looks of this on my wolf, as its very mis-shapen, to again accomodate the nose of a wolf. Also the hair sticking out at the back just looks wrong to me. I had to have hide helm ticked whilst transmogged to this set which was a real shame.
Another tier set which is extremely high in appreciation is always Tier 6 from TBC raids and this warrior recolour/remake again doesnt look 100% right on a wolf. Looks perfect on an orc or human imo.
Never liked this set and its just a wierd fit on a wolf.
Again the hair out of the back is a problem and the width of the helment is out of proportion and too stretched. Really hoped for a bit more from this as I love the looks of it :(
'Thankgod it fits properly!' selection:
Love love love the looks of this one, I think the helmets height helps hide the fact that the hair is poking out at the back, which I have realised I need to just accept. I think the taller the helmet on a worgen, the better!
Another warrior recoloured set for my DK to get, and I again love the looks. The colour may not be the best, but those horns are great!

| Haunted Steel Headguard |

 |
| Helmet of the Lost Catacomb |

| Helm of Blazing Glory |
 |
| Sanctified Scourgelord Faceguard |
 | ||
| Fel-Steel Warhelm |
 |
| Ironbark Faceguard |
I'm sensing a theme that Worgen hats need to have horns, but again this warrior recolour matches nicely, perhaps a little too wide on the face, but the gap for the nose and the horns to cover the hair at the back, all looking good to me. This looks amazing on a female orc too.
Suprise suprise its another warrior recolour! This one does stick out a little when you look from the side, however I still think its one of the better helmets for transmog for a wolfy.
My current transmog set and the fit is just perfect. I love how my eyes are red for a change too! Just love it!
