I want to tell you how to -and to- get a (in my opinion) really cool wolf costume on your level 70+ character.
I have done my best to try and make this thread as informative as possible, and I hope you like it.
For the rich who want this costume fast, you will need:
1 free bag slot
level 70 or higher
money
The not so rich or cheap will possibly need:
A scribe friend (someone with Inscription)
level 70 or higher
Time
Scribes (also the scribe friend above) will need:
Technique: Rituals of the New Moon. This is a Grizzly Hills drop from Silverbrook (27,33). It drops from Silverbrook Trappers, Villagers, Defenders in this village. I will explain later on how to get to kill these. (It also drops from another type of mob with a far lower drop chance, it's the bottom one in the link, but it is not in Silverbrook and therefore I will not list it here - read on if you want to know)
skill 350
possibly level 74 or higher due to questline needed to kill mobs
What this is, is an offhand weapon called Rituals of the New Moon, which, when used, transforms you into a giant wolf. There are several versions of this offhand that each have their own special wolf color. (2 min transformation, 10 min cooldown)
Link: Rituals of the New Moon (http://www.wowhead.com/?search=rituals+of+the+new+moon). This is a link to a wowhead search of the item. You can hover your mouse over the item links to see a tooltip showing the different colors (Black, Grey, Red, White).
The wolf is very similiar to the shaman Ghost Wolf, except it is not a transparent ghost. Therefore, shamans may find this item useless
As you can see in the link, it is made by inscription, and it is bound on equip. This means that you can either buy the Rituals of the New Moon item off the Auction House. (Remember to look in the tooltip if you are looking for a costume with a specific color)
The price varies a lot from server to server and time to time. Therefore, if you can not find it for a price you will pay, you may want to gather the materials for this yourself and make a scribe make you one. (Or farm the "technique" yourself and make it)
The materials for this item:
5x Ink of the Sea
10x Resilient Parchment
3x Eternal Shadow
(There are other guides on how to obtain these items, and they can also be bought from the Auction House, should you not be able to find the costume you were looking for on the Auction House)
To kill the mobs that drop the technique, as alliance, you will need to start the quest Escape from Silverbrook (http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=12308) (use wowhead comments if you need information about the quest). You must do this quest to turn the mobs hostile.
Also, if you want to get this without doing any quests, you can kill Silverbrook Hunters, who have a smaller drop chance. These are found in Grizzly Hills at 36,69.
The Silverbrook Hunters have a 0.1% drop chance according to wowhead, while the Villagers and Trappers have a drop chance of 1.7% and 1.4%.
Therefore, it might be worth your time to do the quests to make the mobs hostile to you. (Keep in mind, that wowhead statistics can be wrong and the drop chance could be the same for all the mobs.)
Actually, now that I think about it, it can probably only be looted by scribes, and therefore the drop chance may be much higher So good luck
Time for screenshot. It is my own, and it is of the red version of the costume.

They all look pretty much the same, and I just picked a random one.
(The ghost my character is facing is from the item called Haunted Memento. This can also be bought from Auction House, and it's really fun,
