Caution
Non-gamers, avert your eyes - here be Warcraft discussion.
So, over the weekend, I happened to pick up a new robe for my mage: Vestments of the Shifting Sands. It drops of Kurinnaxx, the trivially easy earwig boss in the Ruins of Ahn’Qiraj. Given how easy it is to get and its decent stats, plenty of casters figure it’s a better bet than waiting for Robe of Volatile Power or their Tier 1 robe. However, there’s something you should know:
I’m the undead female on the right, and the guy on the left is a random human male I encountered in Silithus. We’re both wearing the same robe. There are a couple of things to note here (apart from the fact that the guy is also wearing Magister’s Crown and is thus a noob). First, the robe is almost exactly the shade of pink that I used to favor in hair dye. You might be fine with that, or you might object to looking like a pretty, pretty princess. Especially if you’re undead.
And then of course, if you’re a female of any race, you’re going to end up looking like a hooker. So there’s that. But for 32 damage to all schools without having to be a tailor, that’s fine with me.

I, for one, am disappointed that this robe does not follow the AQ ‘power ranger’ motif.
