Systems

Transmogrification

Opt-in outfits, how appearances are collected and the rules that apply.

State of research: 26 Sept 2026, beta build 1.60.1.70009.

How transmog works

Transmog is opt-in. At a transmogrifier in certain cities you configure outfits or turn the system off entirely; then you only see other players in their equipped gear. Classic Mode at first launch disables it automatically. Appearances are still collected while it is off.

The rules

  • Poor and Common items grant their appearance on loot, without binding.

  • A bind-on-pickup Uncommon or Rare dungeon drop grants its appearance to all eligible looters.

  • Epic raid drops grant the appearance only to the player the item binds to.

  • Armor type rules apply: plate to plate, cloth to cloth.

  • High-level appearances can only be used at level 60; cosmetic-only items are the exception and rare.

  • With transmog disabled you can still hide your helm and cloak, and you still see other players' hide settings.
