With Transmogrification coming up in 4.3, does anyone have sets already stashed? If not, does anyone have any idea what 'suit' they want to put together? C'mon, I want ideas and pretty pictures!

Anybody, anybody? Beuller? Let's have fun with this!


Well the last thread reached it's limit, so let's hit up another one! There were a few questions not answered in it so maybe I can help a bit.

Question: can you transmog to nothing? As a caster I always hated the shoulder pads and would like to go with just robes. It would also be cool to be a "weaponless" rogue that punches.


The answer is no last I checked, I've been hovering over the blue posts for all things Transmog. You CAN choose some really small ones though.

I have not had the time to read through the mountain of threads on this subject but I would like very much to understate my gear that I have collected. Will we be able to use Grey vendor gear to Tmog? If not can we ask the devs if this would be possible??


The current say so is as long as the gear's the right material (IE Mail,Cloth,Plate) and not Silly looking like the frying pan Weapon, you're fine.

EDIT: It must also have stats. So says the protoss guy below.



Hm.

Question for weapons-

If the weapon we want to transmogrify is unique, does that mean the skin can only be on one weapon?

Sorry if this has already been asked before.


Unique generally applies to a weapon that has procs or overparticular expensive stats, I don't see a good reason why "unique" would effect an item if it's being 'Mogged onto another.

The gear also still has to have stats aside from armor on it. That means that there are a lot of white or grey items that might not be available initially when Transmogrification goes live.

As an aside, a lot of people have been asking about hiding shoulders, belts, etc. For now, it's looking pretty unlikely that we'll offer the option to hide anything aside from helm and cloak.

I tried to find a definitive answer but couldnt. If you have armor and weapons on you person that are no longer availiable in the game can you use those skins?


Yes, you can -- assuming they fulfill the other criteria for eligibility.

If I have a weapon that equips on the hip and I mog it to one that equips on the back, will it continue to equip on the hip (like the original) or will it switch to the back (like the one I used to mog with)?


The way a weapon sheathes is tied to its artwork, so the weapon will appear sheathed in whatever fashion the source item for Transmogrification did.
