New Druid Customization Coming in Patch 10.2 - Stone Cairn Moonkins & Fiery Raid Druids

Live Posted 2023/09/07 at 12:25 PM by Archimtiros

This was the first Visual Development task I was given, to explore the lifestyle and cultures within the Emerald Dream. THis included Moonkin - the shapeshifting form taken by Balance Druids - which happens to be my preferred specialization of my main WoW character.

I came upon the idea of stacking stone cairns being a pastime of the Moonkin. This alludes to their environmentally friendly culture and their history of the Balance Druid shapeshifting form, as well as providing a fun visual juxtaposition between the hulking form of the creature paired with the delicate nature of stacking stones.

No new race/class combinations are coming in Patch 10.2, but we will have new Druid customizations. New Moonkin customizations and some other fiery Druid customizations that players can earn from the new raid.

Comment by AlexWaffThe bear isn't for druid of course, that's just a mob the updated fire kitty druid are fighting.

Same for the fire moonkin - that's a mob being hit with the fire mushroom glyph, it's not an appearance druids will get. Just the mushroom glyph.

Come on guys, we're used to this.Comment by EverstormXOMore druid forms are always good. I SO hope we get those bear forms!Comment by AlexWaffMore druid forms are always good. I SO hope we get those bear forms!Comment by KryplixxI REALLY HOPE THERE'S AN OPTION FOR NON-CHICKEN FORM.

The issue was never not having more colors, It's that the form is ugly and no one want to use it....Comment by doeremiHow they didn't jump on the chance to make a white owlbear themed boomie chicken and/or tank bear right now!Comment by Elle11I'll still be using glyph of the stars, but I'm excited for people who like the moonkin look! For what it is, they look great.Comment by warcrafteelNew Unholy/dk "raise Dead" Models please. I. AM. SICK. OF. 2005 GRAPHICS. Take from SHADOWLANDS, MaldraxxusComment by warcrafteel.Comment by umbranos123Absolute missed opportunity to not have druid unlocks for this patch but it is what it is. still looking nice so far regardlessComment by grulochLike…yes it’s the Emerald Dream but there is one other class which shapeshifts which actually uses fire magic. How about them!Comment by senteriadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn, awesome.

Make a red and black moonkin form pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease like the owl you madeComment by ZilvestramThis aint a new moonkin form..its another recolor....

Come on, make a moonkin form I will actually useComment by AegonTargI might get some hate for it but I really want a new model for the Moonkin form.
I'm tired of this fat owl meme and the Astral Form won't cut it.Comment by BeelI wanted this since Vanilla. And its not just recolor, they have differences with many details.

Thanks you im happy. :DDDComment by AltheisNice to see some Moonkin customisation, would be great to see some more racial variations and the astral form moved from a glyph to barbershop and some variations on that too, it seems to me to be the most popular overall.Comment by brainshoechimkenComment by Wildshots110When will they see we dont want a large chicken as a form and start seeing people want to see their actually character or even something thats not a fat chicken? But yes I agree its a nice update and for those who are happy with it.Comment by RebemmaI hope zandalari troll moonkins will get some love as well. Would love to change my form.Comment by ChrisendilSurprising no one, Blizzard displays their stupidity once again. Those stone stacks are BAD for the environment! 🧠
