G'Hanir template question

[Weissrolf]

So I got this purple artifact template from my druid hall. Do I understand this correctly that now I have to run through 100 dungeons wearing this specific purple template in order to get the next stage, aka the green one? I cannot transmog this or use another template, but really have to accept 100 dungeons (and likely the rest of the time) in purple?

[Inci]

That's the only way as far as I know.

[Weissrolf]

That really fits my green/brownish outfit... Well, the basic green template had that purple bar already anyway.

Is it for sure that we are not allowed to transmogrify it while we go for the 100 dungeons?

[Hanede]

Well you'll have to use a mismatching weapon for a while to get the skin you want. Everyone has to make sacrifices...
TBH I don't see why it's such a hassle, but then again I'm a bear who doesn't care about transmogs.
You can always use the tree form, no outfit = nothing to mismatch?
Or alternatively get the hidden skin for a different spec and run the dungeons with that spec, but that's really a lot of trouble for what it' worth.

Unless I remember it all horribly wrong, the tree form still shows weapons these days.

[Weissrolf]

Yes, even looks quite slick with the bear's hand-weapons.

I transmogrified the artifact, which technically should still count as using the same template/skin. Will see.

I meant that you can't really say the weapon doesn't fit the outfit if you can't see the outfit :P

[Weissrolf]

Well, the whole idea of artifact skins is fitting outfit. So going 100 dungeons (plus everything in between) with a brightly purple weapon can quite hurt the eye. But since the weapon is transmogrifyable I expect this to be the workaround.

No, but then it has to match the tree instead and you have to like the treant look.

[Weissrolf]

I don't use the Treant look. One reason is that I am using my one button macro and Treant vs. Moonkin numbers are bugged.
