Wow, you know you're tired when you write "tresher" instead of treasure. Good job! # 9 hours ago

My boss gave me tomorrow off, isn't she great? And I got my priest to 70. :) # 11 hours ago

I am now officially "casual". A temporary weight off my shoulders. Although I did hop in & do Putricide to help out. But that doesn't count. # 2010/03/10

Night Elf Mohawk costume/buff persists through shifting

Posted by Keeva on November 17, 2009 at 6:19 PM

OK, not a huge deal I suppose – but I was pleased to notice that the Night Elf Mohawk “costume” that has been put into the game persists after you shift into a form and shift back out.
That is, you can be wearing the mask, shift into Tree form (no mask in forms, though, obviously), and when you shift out again – you still have the mask!
Why do we care? Because we never get to keep any of our other costumes! As soon as we shift, we lose the costume and the fun. But NOW – there’s a costume that doesn’t break when you shift!
Please Blizzard – make other holiday costumes and novelty items like the Iron Boot Flask, orbs, Deviate fish, Pygmy Oil etc last through our shapeshifting by making them a buff like the Mohawk. We’re not asking to be Night Elf Mohawk boomkins or anything crazy like that (as cool as that would be) – just don’t make shifting remove the buff and waste the costume.

And please before the holiday event where you have to pvp as gnome…

There always was such a “costume” which didn’t break on shape shift. The female disguise from the sons of hodir prequest. But that’s a little bit more intrusive because when I fly over this area I always get this:

You have lost your title “Patron”.
You have gained the title “Matron”.

and then:

You have lost the title “Matron”.
You have gained your title “Patron”.

And the elf transform orb from Magisters’ Terrace shifts a male char to a female blood elf when used in this area.

/agree!

I don’t do any of the achievements that involve staying a certain form for pvp because it’s irritating enough to do them when not losing it to a shift. And as a feral, it’s pretty much impossible.

I didn’t even shapeshift last night after I got it because I didn’t want to lose the mask. How sad is that? If I had known it would persist, I’d have actually played a little.

I went through that too, Maer. I seriously refused to shift into travel form or anything.
