Trial of Style : Season 3

It's time again for, what seems to be, the biannual mini holiday Trial of Style, the transmog beauty show/catwalk contest, which ran from 31st August to 4th September 2018.

The Trial of Style is a six players scenario which you can queue for by speaking to any transmogrifier in a major city.  When you enter you appear dressed in a dressing gown and you have two minutes to transmog your gear following a theme.  When the two minutes is up players appear on stage two at a time for the others to vote on who has the best transmog.  There is a reward of Trial of Style Tokens for first, second and third place but even as a loser you get a Trial of Style Consolation Prize with 11-15 tokens inside.  

New for Season 3
In previous Trials of Styles you could buy a gear set, for transmog only, with the Trial of Style Tokens but in season 3 there was no new gear set available.  Instead the only new item to buy was a Letter from an Admirer which spawns a supporter to cheer you on whenever you entered the scenario, and you were able to have a maximum of three supporters.  This Letter from an Admirer costs 100 tokens, which is quite expensive, and as someone pointed out on Wowhead comments, may be more likely to annoy your competitors as you are showing off how many tokens you have to spare, rather than help you get more votes :)

I only entered the competition a few times with my DK, Blackandblue, but I did come third with this outfit for the theme Mashup Mayhem

This is still a fun mini holiday but with the BfA expansion just started and no new gear to collect it was not as appealing as other times.  I expect the Trial of Style mini holiday to return again the about February 2019.
