Transmogrify your gear into a Thisalee Crow look-alike

Thisalee Crow is one of the new NPCs of Cataclysm, encountered in Hyjal. A member of the Druids of the Talon, Thisalee's unique personality immediately set her apart from her fellow druids -- and so does her unique set of threads. Thisalee's a fashionable sort, whether she's sitting quietly on the sidelines or holding a dagger to a harpy's neck. It's her gear that sets her apart in this case. You're not really going to see that particular set of gear on a player character, and there are a few good reasons for that.
Thisalee's model has a few distinct characteristics that can't be recreated with transmogrification. First off, she's wearing a Feathered Breastplate as a shirt, with another leather chestpiece on top of it -- something we can't do at all. Secondly, those gorgeous, white leafy shoulders? Sadly, we can't get those in game. However, that doesn't mean Miss Crow's look can't be cleverly replicated with a little transmogrification ... albeit in a slightly different color scheme.

- Head Thisalee doesn't bother with a helm, and neither should you! Turn that helm graphic off.
- Shoulders Obviously, Thisalee's shoulders are a white version of the Cenarion Spaulders. Those are easy enough for a druid to pick up and wear, but if you're a rogue or you want a different color altogether, head to The Botanica and nab the Mantle of Autumn from Laj. He's the second to last boss, but don't worry -- a level 85 rogue or druid can easily sneak their way through the instance.
-
Back Thisalee doesn't bother with a cloak, either, so you can turn that cloak graphic off
too, while you're at it. - Chest For this chestpiece, you'll want to find the Insignia Chestguard from mobs in the 30 to 35 level range or your local Auction House.
- Shirt Thisalee is wearing a leather chestpiece over another leather chestpiece, and we can't recreate that look. However, you can layer a shirt underneath it, and as with Thisalee's outfit, you want it to match your pants. Pictured here is the Deckhand's Shirt, which drops from Southsea Pirates in Northern Barrens -- but you can use whatever shirt you'd like underneath!
- Wrists For bracers, pick up Insignia Bracers, a green drop off of level 29 to 35 mobs or in your local Auction House.
- Hands Shown here are the Enforcer's Gloves, which are available as a reward from a Horde-only quest. However, what you're looking for isn't this exact piece of gear but a pair of short, fingerless gloves. Any pair will do! Wowhead has a list of similiar models to the Enforcers that are shown.
- Waist Thisalee's belt has a pretty unique design that is actually found on Wrath armor. The belt pictured here is the Strange Voodoo Belt, which is an identical model in a slightly different hue. This can be obtained in a Gundrak dungeon quest, but if you have already completed this quest, you can look for any fairly wide brown belt that matches the Insignia armor colors.
- Legs Thisalee's lovely blue feathered trousers are not available to players -- but leatherworkers can make Wildfeather Leggings, which are the same feathered pants in shades of white and gray.
- Feet For boots, farm up a pair of Murkblood Boots from mobs in Outland or from the Auction House.
- Main-hand weapon Thisalee actually has a couple of different weapons. Both are daggers, and they show up at different times. The one she's carting around while threatening harpies is the model we've shown here. It's a Jaedenis Dagger, a green item that can also be farmed in Outland. The other weapon Thisalee carts around is a larger spellcaster dagger that uses the same model as the Thondroril Spellblade. Note that this is a main-hand-only dagger and can only be transmogrified to a main-hand dagger as a result.
- Off-hand weapon Use your Jaedenis Dagger to transmog your off-hand weapon, too!
If you want to look like your favorite NPC but that NPC has some really unique gear, it's always worth it to check for similar models, even if those models aren't an exact color match. Think of it less as replication and more as an homage. This set will give you the look of Thisalee Crow, even if you can't be a mirror image of her. And though I'd love to see a set of player-obtainable white Cenarion Spaulders, there's a part of me that thinks perhaps the uniqueness of Thisalee deserves to have a unique fashion, as well.
Patch 4.3 lets you transmogrify your gear to look like any other gear your class can wear -- but you have to collect it first. Check out our coverage of transmogrification and start running those old dungeons!Filed under: Transmogrification

HA! I actually was looking into this YESTERDAY!
Already knew about the yellow and green, but wanted the white though :'(
Shinae Feb 2nd 2012 5:08PM
She is a night elf after my hardened Horde heart.
Great transmog guide!
Luci Feb 2nd 2012 5:08PM
Relatedly, ...
Does anyone happen to know what robes High Botanist Freywinn in the Botanica is wearing? Everyone keeps saying they are druid tier and they are not.
I just can't place the robes....
Shinae Feb 2nd 2012 6:04PM
You're right; his robes really are unique. I've never seen that model elsewhere. It's just his shoulders that are druid tier.
Snowfeather Feb 2nd 2012 6:13PM
quick reply, looks like he actually has a shirt / skirt combo, skirt looks like a version of druid dungeon tier from quick glance, shirt is similar to a crafted one, Dreamweave vest
Snowfeather Feb 2nd 2012 6:17PM
This may double post, if it does apologies.
It actually looks like he is wearing a shirt / kilt combination. Shirt can be aquired by having someone make you a Sylvan Vest [if you are on Malygos let me know, pretty sure I have this pattern.]
Researching kilt more, it is similar to druid dungeon tier, but not quite.
Luci Feb 2nd 2012 6:29PM
Thanks Snowfeather! Sylvan vest is cloth tho X( and was wanting for my druid for transmog...
The whole thing is similar to "Embrace of the Wind Serpent" which has to be the best looking druid robe ever, but is cloth! Has that same top look.
Snowfeather Feb 2nd 2012 6:40PM
It was a look that was pretty popular with clothies, starting in molton core with the Robe of Volatile Power. I have not found a duplicate kilt with my wowhead searching however, so it looks like this particular set may have to stay in the realm of rp wear instead of transmog gear for us leather wearers.
Personally, I would absolutely love to transmog into cloth, instead I went for t7 in bear gear, mock rogue t2 for my kitty. If I could do cloth tho I would get a duplicate of the mage merciless Glad regalia. Already have the helm from The Eye in my bank!

Nice choices Snowfeather! And thanks for looking into that. I haven't been playing my main (feral nelf druid) since they added transmog, but when I get back to her I plan to go with the Malorne set and Dreamwalker (green) - 2 of my all time favorites!
Just started a little tauren druid and have been having fun looking at options for her.
Caz Feb 2nd 2012 5:52PM
This is -sort of- off topic, but I'm wondering if it's possible to transmog your way to looking like one the Hippogryph flightmasters scattered throughout Kalimdor.
Shinae Feb 2nd 2012 9:03PM
There's the (brown) Preened Ironfeather heirloom set for leather:

yay! more guides, more guides!
josh Feb 2nd 2012 8:34PM
Hah, already started gathering the stuff for my Thisalee clone. (Same look, same name, gonna have same gear. So wish there were the blue shoulders)
Linaa Feb 2nd 2012 9:06PM
Neato!
Now if you could point me at the transmog set for Sayanna Stormrunner, you would win the Internets....
Anne Stickney Feb 3rd 2012 12:11AM
As lovely as the warden's sets are, you can't get them in game for players - they're NPC only. Can't even find a recolor, but that's probably because the organization and the armor design is pretty iconic!
Draelan Feb 3rd 2012 1:56AM
Oh, very nice! Thisalee Crow is one of my favorite new NPCs this expansion. I may have to try this out.
Thinking of transmog, I really ought to look into a good alternative for my Belf paladin since Blizzard in their "infinite wisdom" decided I can't use the level 60 PvP gear to look like an actual Blood Knight... Hm...
datgrl Feb 3rd 2012 8:17AM
This isn't so much of a mog question as maybe a question for the queue.
Do you think the option of hiding the tabard will become available at some point?
If you go to the trouble of transmogging your armor, you can't really see it if you are wearing a tabard. Many of the tabards are designed with a basic color scheme that changes when you buy the ones that give you enhanced XP. So, even if you aren't mogging your gear, you might want the ability to hide your tabard, like you can hide your helm and cloak.
Luci Feb 3rd 2012 9:56AM
I would like this. So many tabards are ugly. Or they just don't match you anyway.
aidyTM Feb 3rd 2012 10:15AM
While we're on the topic of Transmog, I have a question for my fellow
leather-wearers.
I've been trying to piece together a white Mog set for my Rogue, and
it's coming along pretty well so far. But I'm really struggling to
find any decent shoulders. The Boneshredder Shoulderguards from the
Hellfire dungeons fit the set, but they don't look great.
I figured here would be a good place to ask for help :)
Any ideas?
Shinae Feb 3rd 2012 12:09PM
White leather is indeed hard to come by.
There's the Ghostwalker set, which is very close to the Boneshredder set.
