Probably my favorite part of twinking is getting unusual items like toys which can do all kinds of interesting things. Here's a list of my favorites:
Gnomish Mind Control Cap - This engineering head piece gives you a mind control spell like a priest. Naturally it doesn't always work, and can be trinketed out of. In PVP, the target needs to be out of combat. I've used this on a flag carrier in WSG and his team killed him by accident. Once used, the player becomes your pet and will run to your side, attack the enemy and stick there for like 10 seconds. You could MC the player in Arathi then jump off the cliff with a glider. Wonder if that would take them off the cliff? This works best with stealth classes as you can sneak up and MC.
Shard of Archstone - This toy turns you into a statue for 5 minutes making you untargetable. You must not be in combat to use it. It certainly confuses the enemy when they see you turn. Clicking on it does nothing, and you can still say things. Moving turns off the effect. Farming this took me a few days and I used NPCscan add-on. This is a great way to hide for non-stealth classes.
Moonfang's Paw - You can buy this at the AH for maybe 100g. It is the BEST item to hide your class as an enemy. You look like a wolf, basically like somebody's pet. Casting or firing makes his jaw chomp, so it's really hard to see what you are doing. I've stood in a crowd of enemy players many times just casting away forever and not being hit. Enemy tends to ignore him in a crowd. This is great for a healer. Druids will stay Moonfang in all forms except travel and when mounted.
Reflecting Prism - Another awesome AH item from jewelcrafting. You cast it for a few seconds and you swap appearances with another party member. You could use this to disguise your class, your party member, yourself. Also works great to turn your entire party into Moonfang, or whatever. You can cast it, dispell the buff, then cast on another party member to make them all look like you. They have 50 charges and are 50-100g.
Noggenfogger Elixir - Has a few buffs. Gives you slow fall, turns you into a skeleton, and the best, makes you tiny AF. I usually have to drink 10-15 of these to get tiny. This makes you really hard to target, disguises you, and if you use Moonfang or something like it, you look like a micro pet. Requires level 35 it says. I always use this on my higher level toons.
Kalytha's Haunted Locket - For 5k gold you get a toy that turns you into a clothie elf. Great disguise for a melee class, and it has a short cool down so you can use it a lot.
Iron Boot Flask - This toy turns you into a mecha dwarf.
Al-Li's Skymirror - Farmable toy that turns you into a silvery translucent version of an ally. Target an ally and poof you are like them.
Orb of Deception - You can buy these on the AH. Toy turns you into an enemy looking player.
Rime of the Time Lost Mariner - Toy turns you into a pink translucent skeleton dude which looks pretty cool. Farmable somewhere, I forget.
Magic Pet Mirror - I haven't farmed this one yet, but it turns you into one of your battle pets. It breaks in combat I hear, but if you Skymirror yourself, it sticks. Using this can make you minuscule, I've seen pics where you can't even see the character. So it has potential for a lot of fun as you are close to invisible, yet you can fight. There are some items to shrink your pet, so do that first, then use the mirror, then the sky mirror I think so it doesn't break in combat. Imagine being a fury warrior people can't see...
Changing your appearance can help you survive in pvp usually as people don't know what class you are and what abilities you have. I know that when I play well, and am not transformed, I get targeted over and over buy the same players looking for revenge. So changing it up after each death helps. It also makes the game a little more interesting. If you have more to add, please do as I am always looking for more ideas...
