The Trial of Style Has Begun: How's Your Strut?

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: March 20–March 24
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.

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

Get a Little Help from Your Fans
Need a little extra support while you’re on stage? Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. Purchase a 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.

Bring it!

Crucible of Storms Drop Tuning

When Crucible of Storms was originally added to the 8.1.5 PTR a few weeks ago, we included full drop tables for both Restless Cabal and Uu’nat. We designed Crucible of Storms drops to be somewhat different than items that have been dropping thus far in Uldir and Battle of Dazar’alor – this is a new chapter in the story that takes us to a different, stranger place.

We’ve recently gone through those items and tuned them up to fit closer to expectations, and in most cases, to power up their bonus effects. Here are some examples of changes we’ve made since the items first hit the PTR:

• Fa'thuul's Floodguards
  
  • Damage increased by ~25%
  • Healing increased by ~25%
• Abyssal Speaker's Gauntlets
  
  • Shield increased by ~200%
  Mindthief's Eldritch Clasp
  
  • Health restored and consumed increased by ~35%
  Grips of Forsaken Sanity
  
  • Damage increased by ~25%
  Legplates of Unbound Anguish
  
  • Damage increased by ~25%

We’ve been making these adjustments via hotfix to the PTR since Friday, and we don’t expect that you’re going to see them via datamining immediately, but know that these are intended changes, and hopefully they’re now quite close to final values.

Tiger's Peak Temporarily Closing

In order to fix some issues with Tiger’s Peak, we’re removing it from the pool of Arena maps. This should take place during our next scheduled maintenance. We expect to re-open this Arena in a future update to the game.

DLC #672 has been released.

Why are the gear pieces from Crucible of Storms 350?

[Arvandor]

the crucible of storms drop tuning is a first aid for the fail design of the immense gap between the normal and heroic bod difficult.

[Eapoe]

Not a fan of the Trial or Style xmogs. Recolors of the WotLK dungeons from End Time, Well, and the other one I can never remember the name of. The colors are so close to them I’m not even sure if they could count as a recolor.

[Caardamus]

I don't know about the other three, but the plate is the same color as the stuff from the Well of Eternity and Hour of Twilight. I like the set, and it's nice to have it all together in the set collections tab, but I would have liked to see some different colors for it.

[ryjkur]

200% buff, wow I'm speechless.. how fail this game can be

[peterpan007]

I remembered having raid tier sets

I guess now trial of style replaces that ?

How times have changed ...

[Donald Hellscream]

200% buff, wow I'm speechless.. how fail this game can be

Its on the ptr.. What would you rather they not buff it until it is actually live?

[Mardux]

Its on the ptr.. What would you rather they not buff it until it is actually live?

More likely they would rather it not get buffed at all so they can complain about "useless loot" from CoS.

[EternalBany]

Never thought i`d unsub
But now that I am its hillarious to see patch notes, almost like a crash you want it to go boom harder

[Mercadi]

Those transmog sets are some of the worst looking artistic crisis-borne aberrations WoW has ever seen.

[kamuimac]

blizzard tunes it up because otherwise people wouldnt bother with that raid

[Micronetic]

Wait a minute, isn't the cloth transmog just a recolor from the MoP greens?

[rogueMatthias]

Who the heck is choosing these Trial of Style outfits?

Out of all of the gear sets available, and all the colour variations that weren't realesed, these are some pretty awful choices.

Personally, I'd LOVE the black challenge mode set -



OR the full silver PVP season 1 sets - (PLEASE PLEASE release these somehow somewhere Blizzard!!)

[Dystemper]

Reading patch notes just makes me glad i unsubbed from this shit show. Such a shame that Blizzard was taken over by Activision and is now Blizzard in name only

[coprax]

Why are the mail items' effects damage only? Useless for healers.

[nyc81991]

What was wrong with Tigers Peak?

It's like the theme of BFA is removing things from the game...

[Jamie081]

The leather, plate and cloth sets are already obtainable appearances (I have no idea about the mail but it's ugly), why do they add sets that we can already get? They should be adding set recolours that we can't get at all!

[huth]

What was wrong with Tigers Peak?

It's like the theme of BFA is removing things from the game...

Might be something that isn't immediately obvious to players, like the arena taking up far more server resources than it should.

[Gloriandus]

Finally, the gloves for the Cataclysm plate set recolor are available.
