Flinthammer Hall

Speaking to the Dark Iron Brewer in the Grim Guzzler bar, located in Blackrock Depths, will yield a lootable Dire Brew mug (once he passes out, that is). Illusions vary based on armor types. Below is the cloth version of the illusion and a list of transmogs to recreate the look.

Transmogrifications:
Head: Bloody Bandanna or Red Mageweave Headband
Shoulders: Geomancer’s Spaulders
Chest: Robe of Kelris
Belt: Sash of the Burning Heart
Boots: (any brown shoes will suffice, I used Harvester Boots)
Gloves (optional, not part of the illusion): Ebony Flame Gloves

The individual armor pieces are all low level, meaning this transmog is immediately available for a brand new Dark Iron cloth-wearing character, once the allied race is unlocked.

To don the colors of Ironforge in cloth armor, look no further than the Stormpike Emissary for inspiration!

The emissaries used to appear in the Alliance capital cities to recruit soldiers for their ongoing battle against the Frostwolf Clan in the Alterac Valley battleground, but they were removed from the game in 2014 when the random battleground feature was implemented.

It’s not possible to get the exact robe as above as the two known sources (High Robe of the Adjudicator and Enchanted Gold Bloodrobe) were removed from the game, but the Cindercloth Robe and Bloodwoven Wraps come pretty close and are easily obtainable. Pair it with a Stylish Red Shirt. Any generic brown gloves and boots will suffice. (The belt graphic is leather only, alas.)

Here’s my version with a few tweaks to the retro outfit:

Transmogrifications:
Shoulders: Resilient Mantle
Chest: Cindercloth Robe
Shirt: Stylish Red Shirt
Belt: Veteran’s Silk Belt
Bracer: Earthmender’s Bracer of Shattering
Gloves: Manawracker Gloves
Boots: Sandals of Tainted Blood
Weapon: Crackling Staff (an Alterac Valley weapon)

For Khaz Modan!

This ensemble, built around the Sawed Off guild tabard, has been my go-to transmog over the years. The white color represents the snow of Khaz Modan while the brown color represents the deep earth that the Ironforge dwarves have fortified themselves in. The silver and gold trims reflect the metals found in fine dwarven craftsmanship. The fur fringes provide warmth against the chill and is a personal nod towards Frostmaw, Ringo’s long-time bear companion. I favor this outfit for its overall simplicity and practicality along with its layers of sentimentality.

Personally I prefer to carry maces like a proper dwarf priest when opportunity allows, however, the Crackling Staff is near and dear to my heart. It is a simple white crystal staff from Alterac Valley — a snow-covered dwarven PvP battleground that I spent many months in. At the time, the only reward for reaching exalted status with an Alliance race was to unlock racial-specific mounts for purchase. There were no incentives for dwarven players to reach exalted with Ironforge since we already had access to our own rams early on, but it was unthinkable to me to reach exalted with another race before my own. I even made sure that handing over armor scraps to a dwarven NPC, Murgot Deepforge, was the final action in reaching exalted. So anytime I’m not wielding a mace and a stick of dynamite, you’ll see me running around with this staff instead!
