You�ve been asking for it, and we were listening. In patch 4.3 you�ll be able to customize the appearance of your weapons and armor like never before.
The Ethereals, emerging from the nether, will bring with them a new technology they call Transmogrification. They�re heading to the capital cities of Azeroth to set up shop and to offer adventurers a unique service -- copying the appearance of one magical item onto another. They only ask for a modest gold donation to recoup their costs.
Visiting a Transmogrifier will present players with a new interface that will allow them to change the appearance of an item while retaining its original stats. This means that you can raid in your paladin tier 12 Immolation set, but look like you�re wearing Lightbringer, while priests can bring Benediction back -- at least in spirit. Hunters can once again roam the jungles of Stranglethorn Vale in their tier 2 Dragonstalker set. You could even slip into the saucy tailored Black Mageweave set for that matter. You know, with the thigh highs, and the little gloves, and the cute little� ahem.
Placing an item into the Transmogrifier interface will offer a preview of how the item will appear once the change is applied. However, not all item pairings are compatible with Transmogrification. In general, only items that have stats can be used in the transmogrification process. You must also be able to wear both items when using this service. Ethereals don�t have much in the way of ethics, but allowing someone to appear as if they�re equipping unusable items crosses the line. Similarly, they won�t allow you to change weapon or armor types. Sneaky death knights can�t make that breastplate look like a cloth robe, and you can�t make a one-handed axe look like a two-handed axe, or transform a sword�s appearance into that of a mace. Guns, bows, and crossbows will be the exception to this rule. You will finally be able to retain your dwarf�s racial gun bonus while appearing with all the splendor and elegance of a bow wielder (or at least the relative silence of one).
Placing items into the Transmogrify interface will increase the gold cost of the process, and clicking the Transmogrify button (assuming you have the necessary funds) will put the appearance change into effect. The process can be reversed by clicking the undo icon on each item, and then hitting the Transmogrify button once more to save the changes. Any item that�s transmogrified will have text indicating it�s been altered by the process for all to see, similar to the item tooltip callout for reforged items.
Transmogrification encourages players to hold onto items with sentimental or aesthetic value, and the Ethereals anticipate that personal bag and bank space will be at a premium now that everyone will be hoarding their frilly pantaloons and leather jerkins. In anticipation of this new demand for additional storage space, they�ll be introducing a unique Void Storage service. What�s Void Storage, you ask? We�ll provide more details soon.
We�re looking forward to seeing how players choose to customize their character�s appearance, and hope you�re as excited as we are for the arrival of patch 4.3 and the Transmogrification feature. Do you have a favorite set or weapon that you�ll be bringing back? Let us know in the comments below.
Neat idea, although if you want the look of a previous tier, you'd still have to find that set. Unlike gw, you won't be able to just buy them, due to soulbinding.
But at least it uses in-game gold, so there's that.|||too bad it took them only 20 years to implement.|||I wonder where they could have ever got such an idea.
Oh wait.|||This is actually awesome. I'm really hoping I kept my Dual-Blade Butcher and if I did I will be using that until I can make Shadowmourne, then I will never use another weapon skin.
I'd also hope that a GM could give me back the DK quest starter blues. That is some of the best armor in the game. If not, I'll try and get t9, because I loved that set.
Although, this is all hinging on whether or not I resub.|||Resubbing requires effort.
But then again, I'd gladly pay 15 bucks to be able to play a game that doesn't ****ing err7 me every 5 minutes, so it's actually pretty tempting lately. Raye's not about to spend 80 bucks to get the games in order to play too, though. Pity the cost of entry is so high now.. she's actually liking Aion (on a trial), and Aion's gameplay is atrocious compared to Warcraft.|||Ah too bad they didn't have this when I was still playing the game. I was obsessed with this one piece shoulder armor but it was low level. I kept it anyway and still used it once in a while for nostalgia.|||You son of a *****. Who the **** do you think you are?!
this was at the spam bot not Erasmus|||Quote:

You guys both tried LotRO? It's free (sort of). I can't remember if you were part of the "that game is boring!" crowd.|||I haven't, she did, apparently didn't like it. I looked over the classes and didn't see anything that jumped out at me.
Minstrel would be sort of funny to play though, I suppose.|||I like services like these. But it wouldn't work on GW1. You'd might as well remove all buy/sell between players then
