Trial of Style August 31–September 4: The Stage Is Yours

Ladies and gentlemen of the Horde and Alliance, synchronize your wardrobes and prepare to do battle. The Trial of Style has arrived, and it’s time to put your transmogrification skills to the test.

You’re Invited!
When: August 31–September 4
Where: Queue for the 6-player scenario at your friendly neighborhood transmog NPC.
What: Contestants will have two minutes to create transmog sets from items in their collection based on themes presented in the scenario. Two players at a time will be pulled up on stage to strike a pose and show off their creation—leaving the remaining four to vote on just who of the two has managed to capture the theme best.

Collect All the Looks
Collect all 8 Ensembles to keep adventuring in style.


You can also use your Trial of Style Tokens on props to supplement your chosen Trial of Style ensemble. These props are consumable and will only appear when you’re on stage, but will last through the entirety of the competition.

Vendor extraordinaire Nellie Voguesong sells shirts and tabards in the Trial of Style, just in case you forgot to bring one with you.

New Item!
Need a little extra support while you’re on stage? Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. You’ll be able to purchase the new reward Letter from an Admirer, which you can use to recruit a fashion aficianado to cheer you on during the competition.


No peeking! It comes as no shock that you’ll be properly smocked before the competition begins.



Strike a pose and do your little turn (on the catwalk; yeah, on the catwalk).

Once the glitter settles and the votes are tallied, First Place, Second Place, and Third Place winners will be awarded. Don’t worry—even if you don’t win, there’s always the Trial of Style Consolation Prize. These prizes contain Trial of Style Tokens, which can be redeemed for special transmog gear in Dalaran.

Fashion-conscious citizens of Azeroth can also take advantage of transmogrification and barbershop services for free during the Trial of Style. Even if you don’t participate, you can adjust your hairstyle and transmog for no gold cost while the event is active.

Are you ready to dress to impress?

    So they FINALLY fixed the issue with the Tidesage Ritualists in that WQ? It's about time.

    Aw, no new transmog ensembles from the Trial of Style, that's disappointing.

    What does that even mean?

    Cool.

    Now fix the DH gliding bug that exists in the rest of the zone, as well in all the other zones, please? I'm tired of having that happening in Stormsong and Drustvar (the zones I'm around the most)

    Typical Blizzard: Do a stupid change no one asked for and add an "as intended" or "correctly" to the note so less people will complain because that's how it was always intended (even though it was never the case in beta and the item's tooltip doesn't contain an expiration note).

    As if scribes were so poor in BfA.

    Also damn, no new transmoggs. And I was already looking forward to Trial of Style (and glad the changed the date away from release week where it was first scheduled to be).

    Makes you wonder what the appropriate time for a DH to fall to their death is, though.

    TolDagor nerf well justified, but what about Underrot trash? It's 2-3 times more difficulty than any other mythic trash to be honest. Dungeon tuning is really all over the place.

    If I remember correctly, they said back in legion that gathering professions didn't count on this because anyone could get herbs and skins from alts or AH.

    I was thinking the same. DH now fall to their death on the appropriate time.

    This is a good thing. The market for them was basically kaput previously, and 7 days is still pretty damn generous for how easy they are to create.

    So i was right, no new sets in trial of style. Lame.

    The rank 3 "chance to create an extra" wasn't working, apparently.

    Man, that's some nerf to Overseer Korgus. That was his only remotely-dangerous mechanic.
