Transmog: outfits, appearances and where to change your look
Forever has transmogrification. It changes how your gear looks, never its stats. You set up saved outfits at a transmogrifier NPC and can switch the look of your equipment with them.
Where to change your appearance
| City | Transmogrifier | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Stormwind | Fyrenz Vishonar | Mage Quarter, behind the Mage Tower, around 48, 84 |
| Orgrimmar | Mon’ye | Cleft of Shadow, upper level, around 46, 54 |
| Dalaran | Spellweaver Thaldris | Tailoring shop; on the Alterac Mountains map around 18, 61 |
Paste /mappin 1453 48.1 84.4 into chat and the game puts a pin on your map, no addon needed (/mappin 1454 46 54 for Orgrimmar). You can also ask a city guard for directions.
How outfits work
- Talk to the transmogrifier and open the appearance window.
- Pick an outfit slot, then an equipment slot. Start with chest and shoulders, they set the silhouette and colours.
- Choose an appearance you have collected for that slot.
- Check the price and save. A preview is not saved until you confirm.
Name each outfit so you find it again (“Travel”, “Raid”, “Dark leather”). More outfit slots cost extra; editing an outfit costs a fee shown in the confirmation. Decide your budget before you start, training and travel come first while you level.
Collecting appearances
- An item that becomes bound to you (bind-on-pickup loot, or bind-on-equip gear you put on) adds its appearance to your collection. You do not have to keep the item afterwards.
- When uncommon or rare bind-on-pickup loot drops in a dungeon, eligible party members collect its appearance too. Do not roll Need on gear only for the look.
- Epic raid loot does not share the appearance this way: only the player who gets the item collects it.
Why an appearance is locked
- Armour type must match. A cloth appearance cannot go on a plate chest, even if your paladin can wear cloth.
- Level requirements apply until level 60. At 60 the level lock is lifted for appearances you collected; other restrictions stay.
- An empty slot stays empty. An outfit cannot put a look on a slot without an item.
Seeing other players’ looks
Whether you see other players’ transmog is a separate setting. The Classic interface preset turns it off, the Enhanced preset turns it on. If a friend cannot see your outfit, it is probably their setting, not your outfit. The setting can be changed at a transmogrifier and does not affect collecting.
