Hey everyone! Returning to WoW after a 3-year hiatus and realizing I want more mogs. However, I find myself kind of overwhelmed about where to start and how to go about this.
At this point in life, I really only want to commit to the game as a casual player. No more guild raids, limited M+s, no special event attendance schedules, etc. I just don’t have time for it. So, I also can’t spend hours farming mogs anymore, or even plotting out a plan for it.
Does anyone have ideas for efficient ways to farm lots of mogs without watching tons of youtube videos, reading lots of articles or complex guides, or trying to piece together raids? I am not so much after specific mog pieces as I am just getting lots of them for all of my characters.
I think it’d help to actually look for sets or pieces you want. You’ll have something specific to work towards, will know where it is and how to get each reset you don’t get it, and will achieve your goal of quantity along the way.
Go to old expansion raids. They should be green whirlpools on your map. Kill stuff. Loot stuff. Raids have journals under “Shift+J” and maps under “M”. Should help you get around.
That is usually what I do. Then eventually there will be a piece of a set that I like and then I find out where the rest of the pieces are.
All The Things is wild overkill for mog collecting. Download monars wardrobe helper, it will give you a list of instances, their available drops, and tell you what you’re missing. Very nifty.
Dragonflight has a ton of mogs available, many from the vendors you get rep with. Pretty much every addition to the game (Forbidden Reach, Time Rifts, etc) has additional mogs to get.
Since it’s current content, might be the best place to start, or find things that appeal to you and pursue that. SL had a lot of mogs as well (if you count different colors of the same thing different) which might appeal depending on the look you’re going for.
Best advice is decide on a look you want and go for those pieces, perhaps.
I use Better Wardrobe and Transmog to skim through and pick out what sets I want, make a list, then run those dungeons or raids or world content once a week to start collecting.
The most fun I had was spending a couple of months bouncing around Argus to get the Zealous Felslinger’s set Antoran Wastes treasures.
You can get the vast majority of mogs without watching youtube videos. Just go into an old raid or an old dungeon, almost everything before BFA is soloable (as is a singificant part of BFA).
I ended up throwing this out because it kept refusing to update in real time. Like I got a piece for a set, collected the appearance, but was still grey and uncollected in Better Wardrobe.
New account here. If you want to collect sets (especially all the sets), you’re pretty much screwed. You will be a slave to the schedule you will have to set. If you want to make appealing transmogs from a broad collection in your wardrobe, just run lots of old content and get creative when you decide what goes with what.
Set a gold threshold you’re comfortable with, and go to the AH and look for uncollected usable items (in the filter options) and sort by buyout price.
In shadowlands, I set my gold limits to 1k for weapons and 500g for armor. Checked every day for a few months for plate pieces and snagged stuff over time. Later on I bumped up my thresholds. Just took a few minutes a day and I rounded out my stuff very quickly.
Then, I would target 1-2 raids a week and just go clear some old content on like Sunday nights. Try and get the non tier pieces for my armor type. Again, I didn’t over do it, just like 30-40 min a week to chase down some stuff.
Don’t start with the most expensive or highly desired items like tusks. Overtime you’ll find out what you really want to chase down (like tusks) and run several toons a week for that item.
I don’t use it for anything other than the extra sets section and to keep my uncollected from being so damn dark, because I can’t see it well enough in the regular interface.
NPCs are located right by the Expedition Map in Boralus and Zuldazar
Rares
Pick an expansion and kill the rares in the end-game zones. Timeless Isles, Tanaan, etc.
Dungeons
Pick an expansion and run through its dungeons a few times. Super easy, no guides needed.
Raids
Super super easy, especially WoD and older. Normal/Heroic/Mythic and even LFR can be soloed no problem now. Legion you might need a guide to help get past a certain boss or two. BFA has some spots you might also want a guide. The rest are literally faceroll.
PvP
Random Battlegrounds will earn you Marks of Honor which you can use to buy up all the older PvP sets.
Marks of honor are also account bound, so you can consolidate into one toon you want to collect mog on too. That was super helpful.
Also, targeting pvp weapons helps if you like to mog out Alts over targeting class specific sets. You can get some really good weapon packages out there, and I think they get discounted if yo have items from that set already.
