That Damn Role Player

With the introduction of Wrath I waited with bated breath to see what nifty clothes we were going to be given. More skirts maybe? A variety of cold weather inspired robes? Perhaps some jackets or parka style tunics? How about some woolen pants? Anything new or exciting would be welcome.

Instead it seems Northrend has been beaten with the ugly stick. No… let me rephrase that. Northrend has been raided by the entire damn ugly forest! And it wasn’t even a very imaginative forest either!

Sure, I haven’t explored the whole thing. I haven’t seen all the drops, all the quest items, even all of the crafted items. I only managed to reach level 74 before I had to take some time off. But let me share with you what robes I collected for my little priestess in that time…..

If you hover your mouse over the picture it will tell you the names of the robes. Seven of these robes are quest rewards. I had thought to take solace in tailoring, however the Frostwoven Robe is the first Northrend tailored robe that can be made.

To say I am disappointed in the lack of variety in the clothing is a massive understatement. I’ve inflicted my very heated opinions on a number of my friends. But honestly. How hard is it to put a bit of variety in the robe designs? I understand re-using a model a couple times to save some labor but this is a bit out of hand. And these are just the robes I’ve collected SO FAR. I know there are more. I’ve seen them on others, I just haven’t had my hands on them yet.

Please, for the love of Pete, Blizz! Give us SOMETHING! Just one designer, part time, for clothes. Please? Or are you trying to encourage us to sell this crap to the vendors?  I saved every quest reward robe I’ve come across since arriving in Northrend for this article. Look up! You’ll see them all! After taking pictures, I did sell them to a vendor. Because I know I WILL GET MORE OF THE SAME FURTHER ON.

I suppose I should look for skirts. Maybe I can find something among skirts…..

Awww, dammit….
