Transmog and its Perks

Wont lie, this is a wonderful thing.  The ability to transmog has saved MANY a eye and has lead to some very creative looks.  It also allows Blizzard to be lazier about new armor.  After all, who cares if its new if its a recolor of your FAVORITE set and matches your character better?

 

 

Moving on..

 

 

It starts like this:  Ya quest, you get some gear, you quest SO fast that said gear does NOT match in any way...  So now your green, pink, and a white sash to top it off...  Old method to fix that was getting a complete set of gear.  Mainly, Tier.  OR sitting in a cheap green or two.  OR (more popular option for females) strip and dance on mail boxes.

 

 

Now I cant deny, this has lead to MANY a copy cat...  I mean, does EVERY female cloth wearer need to be in the freaking mageweave models?  Or the now famous Slut mail/plate?  You know who you are...   BUT it still opens up some doors for the rest of us.

 

 

So, the joys of Transmogs!

 

 

 

 

In this one you see my rogue... Shes just hit 100 and grabbed a few upgrades.  Now... It aint matching AT ALL.  The belt alone just looks stupid..  If I wouldn't of had a few light drinker pieces via salvage, i'd be blue and white with the ugly troll head.

With Transmog, I can change it.  I can wear a almost full Lightdrinker set (a slightly updated and recolored version of T1 if anyones wondering.).  But even though im WEARING a few of the pieces and have a few already transmog'd its still pretty expensive.

In fact the higher the ilvl, the higher the cost.  Just throwing that out there for raiders.

And the finished product.  Most of it being pieces I picked up questing or when I was raiding in past expacs. 



Now, for what your really after:  My tips.




~ If your CONSTANTLY changing gear (like raiders, mainly those who are expecting to progress and adjust gear at a VERY fast pace..) you might want to consider holding off on your look.  This gets expensive fast, especially with weapons.  If your getting 3 new pieces a week, your tossing gold out the window.

~Heirlooms:  Pretty much a 1 gold per to transmog!  PERFECT to keep the same look.  Down side, your gloves, boots, and belt will constantly be changing.  Unless your just going to fast to find a upgrade.

~Be flexible.  Try and change your look to match a few pieces you have on, like I did.  I picked a few items that matched what I had rather then spend a extra 500 gold COMPLETELY changing it all.

~Transmog only what you need.  I know theres a slot for helm, cloak, and bracers... But do you really need them?  If you keep your cloak and/or helm hidden, why transmog them?  And bracers... 99% of the time are hidden.  Don't waste the gold man...  Same with pants.  If your using a robe, DONT TRANSMOG DA PANTS!

~Look at greens, blues, and even epics you find.  Looks pretty cool, why not keep it?  Later on you might decide to build a set around it or use it to replace a unattractive piece in a set you DO like.

~Screenshot different looks.  Some-like my Boyfriend Nav...- will change a transmog 6 times trying to decide which they prefer.  So instead of putting 6 different sets on, try viewing them in the window, screen shot them and then look at them to decide which is cooler.

~For the daily changers-Nav.- to save gold on your daily switching sets, try switching to a set that has a few of the pieces your already wearing in it.  T1 pally set is using the same Golden Hammer as you would for Judgement?  Well then switch to T2 instead of that Christmas light special of a DK look alike set from ICC.  Not transmogging that 2her twice will save you a few hundred gold alone!


Well, that's all from me for now.  Yall behave and happy hunting!
