I have always been bothered by the patchwork look of Diablo 3 characters, the dye system really was not enough. I guess the folks at Blizzard got enough complaints or suggestions about it that they added a transmogrify option with Myriam the weapon enchanter.

Reaper's Wraps The plans & special legendary crafting material were both in my chest for the longest time. I really did not pay attention to crafting. Anyway, I heard Scott Johnson discuss it on the Frogpants The Diablo Show podcast and decided to farm for the rest of the ingredients and craft my own. It's quite annoying that you need whites to craft now. Sheesh. Got some advise from more veteran players in my clan and changed one of the properties from armor to critical hit chance. It took me three tries to get the stat I wanted. Haven't field tested it yet. But I am thinking it would be great for my hatred hungry DH build.
Finally broke down and bought the expansion a few weeks ago. I was able to level my DH to 70 with the help of some people in and out of my clan. Thank you! I also changed my build from ball-lightning to this one, I need to do some intense farming to change my gear so I can get rid of mobs quickly because I am too squishy.
