The Rack: Crawfish in the Scullery

Whether you're a cook or a baker, a role player or just a regular everyday normal guy chances are pretty good that you own a Chef's Hat. Heck, you may already even have a favorite outfit to go with that hat! In the event that you don't though, this week's edition of The Rack has you covered. Below you will find a list of items that you could easily gather in order to put together the cooking/baking outfit of your dreams.

The Threads
Unless you're role playing a nudist or just like to be naked while cooking (watch the grease around your private bits!), your character will more than likely want to have some sort of a cooking outfit. Here are just a few ideas to help get you started with deciding which threads to wear. The items that are starred are the items shown in the image above.

Head
Standard
*Chef's Hat

Creeper
Eye Patches (Leather)

Shirt
Standard
*Common White Shirt
Common Grey Shirt
Antiseptic-Soaked Dressing (Shown in second image)

Fancier
White Tuxedo Shirt

Chest
*Mechbuilder's Overalls
Blue Overalls

Gloves
Salma's Oven Mitts (No longer available.)
Fortified Oven Mitts (Mail)
Krazek's Oven Mitts

Pants
Abomination Skin Leggings (No longer available.)
Black Tuxedo Pants

The Tools
Now every good chef has a set of tools that he or she likes to use. There is a whole plethora of items available to players in WoW, and here is a short list sporting some of the one's I've stumbled upon.

Cookie's Tenderizer (Shown in first image)
Spider Splatter Mace (Shown in second image)
Carving Knife
Fisherman Knife
Butcher's Cleaver (Shown in second image)


The Pets
We can file this segment under "Saz, that just ain't right" if you'd all like. There are a couple of pets that you can have follow you around that will make any cooking situation, well, awkward. Pull these guys out and leave your fellow players/raiders wonder about what you put in that stew.

Magical Crawdad - Who wouldn't want to be followed around by a giant crawdad?
Strand Crawler - Crab anyone?
Westfall Chicken - Anyone want a drumstick?
Ancona Chicken - How about a wing?
Rustberg Gull/Rustburg Gull - Someone needs to take out the garbage...

You could also potentially pull out snakes, rats, or any pet really in order to pull of the "crazy, sketchy cook" profile. Don't forget to wear your eye patch!

Perhaps you didn't quite find what you were looking for in this post. If this is the case, go check out Kirina's Closet for more ideas. There's definitely some excellent item sets over there, and I cannot recommend that site enough for awesome dress-up ideas.

So my dear readers, do you get all dressed up when you go to cook your raid food for the week? If so, what kind of get up do you sport?

The Rack: White Wedding

The Rack is another collector's installment here at World of Saz, and it's the sister column to Hoarders. While I'd love to simply add in collectible gear to Hoarders: Azeroth Edition, there's just too much of it! The Rack shall have it's own little corner of my blog because of this, and shall be a weekly/bi-weekly/whenever I can get it in publication. Enjoy!

I have a confession: I'm not a role player, but I've always been a huge sap for those videos of folks getting hitched in Azeroth. I don't even much care for weddings in real life, but somehow virtual weddings hit a soft spot in me. So, even though role playing events are something outside of my experience, I wanted to put together a mini collection of ideas for an Azerothian wedding.

*Runs off to be a sap in a corner somewhere*

The Rack: Shaman Tier (Remixed)

The Rack is another collector's installment here at World of Saz, and it's the sister column to Hoarders. While I'd love to simply add in collectible gear to Hoarders: Azeroth Edition, there's just too much of it! The Rack shall have it's own little corner of my blog because of this, and shall be a weekly/bi-weekly/whenever I can get it in publication. Enjoy!

Welcome to The Rack! This is the first week in quite some time that I've been able to do this series, and I will be kicking it off with a double feature. Why am I doing a double feature? Well, for two reasons really: it's been a while since I've been able to put together The Rack, and it's my blog's 6th month anniversary. Expect the second part of this feature to come out later on this evening at some point!

This particular installment is actually a repeat. I was looking at my old Shaman Tier article, and realized that it sucks. It's completely, utterly not up to par with what I want it to me, thus you get a revamp! Hopefully you all will find this one a tad more useful.

The Rack: Fishing Outfits

Whether or not you're a role player, chances are pretty good that you have some sort of a fishing outfit. Now, I personally don't have a ton of bag space for a whole outfit, but chances are that if I'm fishing, I'm found to be sporting my Master Kalu'ak Fishing Pole and my Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat.

The Rack: Shaman Tier

The Rack is my new weekly installment, and it's the sister column to Hoarders. While I'd love to simply add in collectible gear to Hoarders: Azeroth Edition, there's just too much of it! The Rack shall have it's own little corner of my blog because of this, and shall be a weekly/bi-weekly publication. Enjoy!

Welcome to The Rack! I'd like to begin this series with one of my more favorite collections, Shaman Tier. There is a mighty long list of it, some of which is unobtainable now. I will try to include as many shots of what I have as possible, but seeing as though I don't have all the missing pieces to all of the sets yet, I will be including some images that come from wowhead.com. If these images happen to be of you, thanks for sharing these with the public! If you hadn't, I may have never taken interest in tier sets in the first place. I hope you don't mind me using them too much!

Tier 1

There you have it, all of the Shaman tier sets that are currently live. I know for me that this collection is a constant work in progress, especially since I missed Vanilla WoW raiding and only managed to get my T4 set back in Burning Crusade. The Skyshatter set (t6) is probably my favorite set, followed closely by the Valorous Earthshatter (t7.5) set, but really, I'm kind of partial to them all. So many neat looking sets, so little time!

I know that there are also many different PvP gear sets, but a good chunk of them are no longer purchasable and I tend not to collect PvP sets : P Perhaps in the near future I shall dedicate a post just to the different PvP sets! For now though, bask in all that is PvE tier!

I hope that you enjoyed the first installment of The Rack. I assure you, more entertaining posts will come in the future!
