The Robe Gatherer

I’d been thinking for quite a while about how a move to an RP server would affect the way I play WoW. Would I really get into it? Would I have other pursuits than hitting the level cap and raiding until my eyes bleed for the newest loot? Well, truth be told I hate progression raiding. Everything’s still so difficult and nobody’s geared for it. That’s not to say that there aren’t people who enjoy it, I just prefer to take the game at a more leisurely pace. It’s why I get frustrated when people claim Blizz have been handing out gear. However, that’s a discussion for another day, possibly another post. My point is, I wouldn’t be immediately raiding.

My latest idea (in a long line of ideas, might I add -_-) is I’m going to try and collect robes.

Crazy right? I figure on an RP server of all places, having a nice wardrobe could come in handy. I’m also planning on making a list of robes that share textures/models too. I’m not going all out to collect every single robe out there. Just every ‘look’.

So my Alliance priest Taylea will be my dress collecting minion. I’ve also settled on my “Alliance” server: Argent Dawn (EU). I know, I know it’s busy and what have you, but my Dearest has friends on that realm. It seemed a decently sensible choice :P

I’m planning to put together a list of robes I need to grab, and might post it here as a guide. It’s from an Ally’s POV, but I imagine it would help Hordies who are looking for that perfect look too!

Yes, it is possible to play ‘pretty princess dress me up’ in WoW too! :P

Also, regarding the creative guild. It’s still not out of the question. I’m just not sure if it’s going to be a guild anymore. Or on Darkmoon Fair. It’s on the backburner for a tad while I sort out my priestling (I’m on the RAF triple exp for a month and planning to make the most of it before I transfer her to my main account.) I’m still needing to get my head round the idea.
