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 kinarkits about damn time we got new moonkin forms LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOComment by EtheriosPrimeAnd no druid legendary weapon from the emerald dream raid within the emerald dream zone :^)Comment by CountWLooks pretty nice, since they are updating the Druid customizations, maybe they can also give Worgen Druids a glyph where they can stay in Worgen form when using the cat or bear formComment by ArchimtirosAnd no druid legendary weapon from the emerald dream raid within the emerald dream zone :^)Comment by ShadeNo new combos? Big sad but to be expected. Druids have the most racial assets that need to be done, they could be among the last of the vanilla classes to become unlocked to all* races.
