What is transmogrification
Transmogrification in World of Warcraft is a feature that allows players to change the appearance of armor by copying other items. You have to choose from existing models in the game, but you can combine them as you like.
The feature appeared in the game with the addition of Cataclysm. At that time, objects whose appearance they wanted to copy, had to be stored in a bank or in the Abyssal Storage – this cluttered the bags and did not allow experimentation. In subsequent add-ons, Blizzard revised the rules for transmogrification, and in Battle for Azeroth brought the system to perfection – now you no longer need to store obsolete equipment, all available models are automatically added to the catalog, and most of the armor elements can be hidden, enchanting only the most beautiful ones.
WoW has 13 armor slots for which transmog can be applied, but only pants and weapons are required. Due to this feature, the community has gained popularity underwear in the form of underwear – naked elves with swords at the very end amuse the players. Stripped orcs in loincloths are even more in demand.

The armor in WoW is divided into four types – fabric, chain mail, leather and armor. To give the fabric armor the appearance of steel equipment will not work, since the catalogs for them vary. The list of available items for transmogrification is common for the account, but the ability to change the appearance of the equipment depends on the level of the character – in the early stages it will not work to make the top one out of the initial armor. In Shadowlands, this promise is promised to be reduced: at low levels, the entire catalog will be available up to BfA, and equipment from the final add-on can be transmogrified already at level 48.
What bonuses does transmogrification provide?
First of all, it is aesthetics. Transmogrification helps make a homeless character a real hero. Blizzard tries to create thematic armor: if the user killed N’Zoth and his servants, then there will be many ominous eyes on the armor, and if he crushed Ragnaros, the equipment will begin to glow with fire. However, things that are not included in the kit or are obtained from dungeons often do not match in color. Often you can see heroes who have just left the dungeon, pulling on new clothes, and have not reached the transmog – they look ridiculous.
Transmogrification helps emphasize the beauty of female characters and the brutality of male characters. Blizzard does not really encourage the sexualization of the female body, only elven women of blood and abysses have a classic model appearance in WoW – even people have a rather heavy figure, and the rest of the races, including the adored draenei, are very fantasy. But even a troll can become pretty if you pull an armor on it and steel pants – this is a classic of the genre.

Transmogrification does not affect the combat abilities of the characters, but even hardcore gamers love this feature. For example, members of the top 1 PvE guilds of the Russian-language server Soul Flayer were very enthusiastic when I asked them to share their best transmogs. Officer Hollin spent a long time setting up raid fighters for a joint photo in Dazar’alor: “Get up like this … And you, Mek, on the other hand! Move closer to Farmling … Turn around, turn around. Get the weapon. ” After 15 minutes, he put the title “Stylist”, and we finally took a picture.

“Stylist” is a title that can be obtained for achieving the “Top Model of Azeroth”. To do this, collect class armor sets from ten different PvP raids or seasons. There is one more similar title – “Dude”. It is also given for an extensive collection of equipment models: for each inventory slot, you need to collect a certain number of different items – one hundred copies of gloves, boots, belts, 15 tabards and so on.

The ability to come up with interesting images will also help to become the best in the competition of fashion designers during the event “Put it on immediately!”. This is a special contest in which you fight in a group of five people for the title of the most stylish hero of Azeroth. The event is held several times a year and is always marked on the in-game calendar.
As part of the event, you are invited to make a transmog on a given topic in two minutes. They are different – steampunk, magic, romance and many others. Members of the group in pairs represent outfits on the stage, and viewers vote for their favorite work. The winner is the player with the most votes, and as a win, they will be given special coins that can be spent on unique sets of equipment. To be honest, for real transmog gurus, the reward is insignificant, since there are practically no beautiful models for this currency, but winning competitions is always a pleasure.
Popular streamers sometimes run their own transmog competitions. For example, Chance Sodapoppin Morris rewards participants with in-game currency.

Trading in popular models is a business
Many often ask how to make money in World of Warcraft if you don’t feel like picking grass, fishing or selling tickets to high-level dungeons. Trading models for transmogrification is one of the options for a successful in-game business.
Now a large number of valuable models fall for the passage of island expeditions. The cost of some items on popular servers reaches one hundred thousand gold. Such a business is not suitable for players who do not like to wait: sometimes customers are on expensive lots for a long time, but if properly managed with the auction, then any product will find its buyer sooner or later. For example, I once spent the last 50 thousand gold on a dress – then I had to collect grass for flags and potions.
There are guilds on English-language servers that farm transmogs on an industrial scale. For a long time it was believed that the Zul’Farrak dungeon was the most profitable – in an hour you could get about 200 thousand gold in it, especially with pumped luck in real life. Due to the large number of offers and scant demand in 2023, the condition at the Zul’Farraka farm can no longer be made, but if you do not have a character of the maximum level, you can still save up for a subscription using this method.
What is the trend?
According to portal statistics World of wargraphs, the most popular weapon for transmog is the legendary “Double Blades of the Tempter,” but the Azzinot’s Battle Blades are only slightly behind them.
Wearing a blindfold is also considered an old fashion. This is a tribute to Illidan – he has not parted with this attribute for many years. According to statistics, it is the “Cursed Vision of Sargeras” that leads the transmogs for the helmet.
Classics of the genre – transmog of engineering glasses
Among the players, the sets that are awarded as a reward for PvP are very popular: their advantage is that you do not need to select each item of clothing separately, you can trust the taste of Blizzard and choose a ready-made set. In addition, some can no longer be bought, so old people can once again demonstrate their coolness. You can see all the sets available to your character in the corresponding tab.
After the Saurfang movie came out, some Laura fans began to “take off the shoulders” in support of the old warrior. In this they also helped transmogrification.
The most unpopular piece of transmog equipment is the back. I think that few people like raincoats, since their physics leaves much to be desired: they are just rectangular or triangular rags without any visual effects. However, now the fashion for the backpack is gaining momentum behind him – he is not forbidden to hang statically.
How to make a beautiful transmog
I have two strategies for creating a beautiful transmog. The first is the search for a key element of the costume. For example, in Legion, I knocked out stunning turquoise gloves. I literally fell in love with their twists and runes, so there was no choice but to pick up armor for them. Only one of the “mainstream” models came up, as Blizzard was stingy with classic dresses. However, in combination with the shoulder pads and the huge sword that I took from Malygos, it turned out magically.
My turquoise outfit complements the final touch – the spell of illusions on weapons. I use snowflakes from a set of elementals that handwriters can create. Some beautiful illusions are more difficult to obtain than high-level equipment: the drop chance is small, and the bosses are at the very end of the dungeon.
The second way to make a cool transmog begins with two questions: in what color scheme can it be performed and which element should stand out. For example, if you are a druid and want massive red shoulders, like the torn hearts of your enemies, you will have to fight Xavius in the Emerald Nightmare – a suitable leather “First Satyr’s Spaulders” falls from him.
In this way, I picked up a bright yellow suit. There are several dresses of this color in WoW, you just had to choose beautiful yellow-fire shoulders. Fortunately, the catalog of models allows you to see not only the equipment options for transmogrification already added to it, but also those that can be obtained. Having chosen the item you like, you can spend several months in raids of old content, trying to take away what you want from the bosses.
