FAQ About World of Warcraft

The Transmogrification system, often referred to as "Transmog" or "Transmogrify," is a feature in World of Warcraft (WoW) that allows players to change the appearance of their equipped armor and weapons while retaining their original item's stats and functionality. This feature was introduced to the game to give players greater control over the visual customization of their characters. Here's how the Transmogrification system works:

1. Appearance Changes:

• Transmogrification allows you to change the appearance of your equipped gear to look like other items you've collected, known as "transmog appearances" or "skins."
• These appearance changes are purely cosmetic and do not affect the stats, attributes, or functionality of your gear.

2. Transmogrification NPCs:

• To transmog your gear, you'll need to visit a Transmogrification NPC, often located near other vendors or in major cities.
• The NPC provides a user-friendly interface for transmogging your items.

3. Transmog Costs:

• Transmogrification typically incurs a small gold cost, based on the item's quality and the number of transmogged items.
• The cost is deducted from your in-game currency.

4. Requirements:

• In general, you can only transmog items that are the same armor or weapon type as the one you're currently wearing.
• Some limitations apply to legendary items, which have specific rules for transmogrification.

5. Collection System:

• WoW features a comprehensive Transmog Collection system that tracks all the appearances you've unlocked on your account.
• Once an appearance is added to your collection, you can use it for transmogrification on any character on the same account, provided they meet the level and class requirements.

6. Restrictions:

• Certain appearances may have faction or class restrictions, meaning that only specific factions or classes can transmog them.
• Some appearances may be limited to certain events or achievements.

7. Special Features:

• Some appearances can only be obtained through challenging content, such as completing specific dungeons or raids on higher difficulty settings.
• Certain items have unique effects, such as the ability to change colors or visual effects when transmogged.

8. Mix and Match:

• Transmogrification allows you to mix and match appearances from different items to create a unique and personalized look for your character.

9. Role-Playing (RP):

• The transmog system is particularly popular among role-players in WoW, as it enables them to fine-tune their character's appearance to match their role-playing story.
