Woah I hadn't ever seen that mail tmog colour, RIP since not going to have enough time, glad I got the 3 gun tiers unlocked last year though!
This was posted a few days ago on another website, I managed to finish up blacksmithing and engineering with base materials lying around. But the sticking point is savage blood. If you did not have a barn, you are really, really screwed. I have all the base sets for tailoring and leatherworking and the inscription weapons but getting the dripfed bop items in addition to the bloods is what will cut into my gold. Already spent 200k in 2 days worth of time. Only bought essences if they were 5k and the base gear pieces if they were 3k. Very likely won’t complete leatherworking (likely mail mostly, and leatherworking after that). Hope to get what I can for inscription and tailoring. If you can upgrade to a storehouse, and get the likely pre-level cap WoD quests done for a follower to increase mat efficiency with work orders (can make up to 36 orders with level 3 building and level 3 storehouse).Also if your guild has people mats lying around and you don’t care be a sport and give the mats to the guild friend for a favor later on in shadowlands. I do expect bloods to cost a bit more when I get home.As a bit of ps. Don’t spend gold on upgrades for wod engineering helms. They don’t offer cosmetic variants. Just equip if you can and ATT will give you all 6 checkboxes.
They really need to stop removing stuff from the game for no apparent reason whenever it suits them.
It's gonna be a very sad day if they decide it's not worth it to implement another way to acquire the appearances. All of them are really good and the crafting professions do make some good buck from them.

Something important:These don't go away in expansion but in pre-patch, and this can be checked by anyone on the PTR.A little more information on this:There's a case of another group of upgradable items with exclusive appearances and those are the timeless ones. These last ones continue to exist with no changes (other than the level squish) and still award their unique appearances. It is true that this issue is related to the changes in crafting and timeless ones are not craftable, but the mechanic is the same.It was theorized if upgrading with relics of the past would award the upgraded appearances but no, at least as of last week beta version. Also there's the curious case that the items will continue to exist as before (being squished, tho) if upgraded previously to the patch with no changes even sporting the "Stage 2/3/4/5/6" text which was removed from the base item.
This is not okay for Blizz to do.
This was news for nearly a month, I'm almost done upgrading them all using 13 garrisons with rank 3 herb gardens, mines, and barns. Empty out your AH of thousands of reasonably priced WoD mats, use the Garrison Trader rotation to turn in Draenic Dust and WoD herbs for spirits .. and use the professions "riddle of" type recipe to craft in mass without a cooldown. You need the ore, leather, and fur for this with the spirits, so try to avoid turning in too many of these for spirits. If you're coming up short on blood, your only option is several barns, a 1 a day transmute in alchemy, 25 spirits for 1 blood at the spirits trader, and the Auction House. Though if you're on a populated enough server, there are probably items on the AH to buy the look at rank 1, and essences to upgrade it to rank 2 and 3. Just make sure you equip it before you start upgrading so you get all 3 appearances. Good luck everyone! :(
I mean still a chance to get them like it may sucks but if most really want them try to get them other than complaining, like maybe its a bug but idk, I got all the weapons n few pieces but it's w/e, I do hate that I missed out of collecting a few of the sets in Cata8.2 or w/e patch with the Rebellion, don't miss out on this.
Im all but numb to all the oversights.
