I’m not sure if my most famous costume is Cymre Jones or Wonder Woman although Cymre’s archaeology outfit gets revamped each time she has a new adventure. Nevertheless, my take on Wonder Woman may have been the most successful outfit from my Warcraft Supers series. I know a few readers have their favourites though :)
So I’ve been trying to farm the Starfire Tiara A LOT since my Warcraft Supers series began. Originally, I was going to farm it on my Paladin as the outfit uses a mix of armour types, as do most of them. However, I felt if anyone should have the item, it should be my main Cymre – she’s the one who inspires all of my transmog and RP designs.
The hardest part wasn’t hoping for the right item to drop but having to run almost the entire section of UBRS to see if the rare had even spawned. I wish I had the number of times I had to reset the place because he only spawns in the Furnace room (which is right next to the Beast’s Room). When you’re close enough you can use a targeting macro but he will only pop up as you’re descending the ramp into the Furnace Room.
During my frustrations, I tweeted…
I don't think Jed Runewatcher wants me to get my WW costume :( Lost count of how many tries in total – 9 times tonight & only seen him once

To make things worse, there were two instances during the Rend encounter where he didn’t come down so I had to hearth out. Last night, I jumped down to start the encounter, alt+tabbing while I waited for the first wave and the few I pulled on the way there. Unfortunately, when I tabbed back in, I was next to two gates in a dark corner with about 20 mobs on me. I took care of the mobs only to realise my suspicion was correct. I was behind the gate where the waves come out >.<
Arg! I was stuck again.
It seemed like such a waste, being so close to the endpoint. I tried aggroing the eggs to see if the gate opened but that didn’t work so I ended up logging out where I was and going to bed. Today, since I was still inside the instance, I tried one more time.
EEE! He was there!
I was praying that he would finally drop the item I needed so I wouldn’t have to come back. I couldn’t believe he actually did!
You can see my Warcraft Supers post for the full costume which includes a sword and shield.
Phew! That’s one more thing off my bucket list :)
OMG GRATS!!!!
Grats! I’ll bet you’re happy that’s over and done with!
This is truly a fabulous grouping of items! OMGosh! I wish we had such perfect look-a-likes of the real thing in cloth! I’m building my own set currently, it’s been over a year actually. I can’t get the darn bracers from Kara or belt that I want to drop, I have an ok belt as of right now though, it’ll do for our annual Hallow’s End guild party.
Congrats on the hard work! :D
I saw that you were in BRS and wondered if you were farming the Tiara — I’m so glad that you actually got it! Congratulations! XD
Woot, grats on Your Tiara!
Glad you got it!
Thx everyone :) Now if Blizz could just make me an NPC in the game :P
