Free Transmog Change Coming for All Characters

#1 - Jan. 21, 2026, 11:05 p.m.

Hello!

As many players noticed, Transmogs that were previously applied to gear were removed in the 12.0.0 update. This was intentional as a part of the transition from a gear-based to a slot-based system.

Although previously saved loadouts were converted to Custom Sets in the new system, it costs the normal amount of gold to apply the first Transmog to your character, even if you’re simply setting your appearance back to the way it was before. This was an oversight on our part; you should have been able to maintain or reset your existing look without cost.

With the 12.0.1 update before the launch of Midnight, all player-characters will be granted one free Transmog. This will be automatically applied to the next outfit created for each character. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by first-time Transmog costs.

We’re also aware that Legion Artifact appearances can currently only be applied to weapons with compatible weapon categories. We’re working to implement the Legion Artifact override options for the updated Transmog system. You can expect to be able to apply Legion Artifact appearances to more weapon types in the 12.0.1 update.

As always, we’re thankful for your feedback!

Hello everyone! We have a few more updates on Transmog we’d like to share with you:

We’re going to lower the cost of outfit creation prices by 50% to bring them more in line with what the prices were prior to the Transmog update. This price reduction is currently under development and should be available within the next day.

Additionally, we’re going to try to grant the one free Transmog to all player-characters as soon as we can, before 12.0.1, hopefully via a hotfix. We’ll update the hotfixes article once the free Transmog is available to use.

One more thing. Many of you have been asking about how the new Transmog system will work with the Trial of Style event. When Trial of Style is available, players receive a special Transmog outfit slot that can be worn both inside and outside the competition. All Transmog updates made to this slot are free. While in the competition, this is the outfit players are judged on. Once the Trial of Style event ends, the outfit slot is removed.

Thank you so much for all your feedback!
