Transmogrification Restrictions

Many players currently wear alternative items while hanging out in cities such as seasonal outfits, role-play gear etc. Other players, as Alicè pointed out, have gear that doesn't match and maybe doesn't look as cool as a full set could, so you're already exposed to a variety of looks on characters.



This feature will allow players to refine how their character looks, use nice-looking gear that may be sitting gathering dust in the bank perhaps. Of course, your idea of nice-looking may vary from other people's, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.



Seriously, though, if your main reason for disliking this feature is fear of a sudden influx of ridiculous outfits, please know that we plan to restrict transmogrification a little in regards to armor types. For instance, if a character is wearing plate, they won't be able to make it look like a cloth dress, and vice versa, armor types are locked. So you shouldn't see too many Warriors taking on a boss in a pink evening gown.



Over time, we'd like to add ways for players to obtain some special items that are no longer available—dungeon tier sets, for example. [...] You must own the item, have it in your possession and be able to wear or use it at the time of transmogrification. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)



Plans for Legacy Armor Vendor

If there are sets which are extremely popular with players and cannot be obtained in the game anymore through any means, we'll consider making them available elsewhere. I believe another Community Manager pointed out that the original vanilla dungeon sets and death knight starter area set are good examples of this.



It is, however, not extremely likely you'll see a lot of sets which are no longer possible to obtain be added back in for 4.3. We'll be expanding upon Transmogrification over time, in which case we'll absolutely consider adding highly coveted "out-of-stock" sets elsewhere.



Keep in mind though most of the original raid and PvP sets can still be obtained in the game. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)



Anyone thinking about Tier 3 ? : )
 
oh they'll def. have to do t3 n other gear thats no longer available, t7/7.5 just doesnt cut it since its slightly recolored from original t3

and hopefully they do this soonish (tm)...1-3 months tops so everyone doesnt automatically go get t3 transmog. but so itll still be cool



and dungeon sets that are no longer available



hopefully legendarys will be available one day, at least if youve owned them (exception for ateish)...i wanted so bad to walk around with HoR on my 80 before reading the fine print (course theres not really a good 80 mace to transmogrify..but still)
 
Not necessarly duplicate, it could be and most probably will be the real T3, purchasable through justice point, or make it some kind of world drop, or put it inside AQ40. They have no reason to make a T3 with no stats or something, wasting more times than they should, don't forget they don't do that having twinks in mind, they don't care if they bring some grandfathered imba gear back from the dead. I'm thinking most likely it would be JP, which could be sad, coz gear would be real easy to get then.
 
Some people are tossing the idea of bringing back Old naxx 40, which could be awesome, and I guess bring even more life into the 60's in general



Naxx 40 - Forums - World of Warcraft



Unlikely going to happen tho, would drain too much time to be implemented, and would raise questions to whether or not it would break storyline, some questions are better left unanswered.



At least discussions for T3 are popping a lot, it will be back, for sure.



If you guys have US accounts, please try to submit the idea about bringing back Naxx40 into this thread, coz it would also bring more gear than just the T3, so more skins for their transmucrap

Lets help Blizz with that list.. - Forums - World of Warcraft



would be great, seems they don't care about EU thoughts.
 
theres no way naxx 40 is coming back just for t3 gear....a vendor is a lot more likely. and hopefully its available at 60 like original gear...and i dont think they'd take the time to remove all the stats when they should already have all the item codes n such ready to be put back in game as is - maybe some tweaking for new stats n such but who knows



and afaik t3 isnt that imba vs gem gear and esp 64s with their full gear. would actually bring some semblance of balance for the people who didnt have the foresight to farm naxx in BC for twink gear or just rerolled new toons and didnt even have the chance.
 
If t3 does come back I think this bracket will just be even more boring due to everyone running around with t3/weapons if they also bring back naxx. right now you have to farm like crazy and grind rep in AQ for BIS atm. naxx will make it much faster to get BIS. or just t3 BIS (not weapons).
 
"would be great, seems they don't care about EU thoughts. "



I find them very open minded its just hard to get through (but ofc they dont read every single reply....).



IDK for shure ...But i think I am partially behind the engi (bolt gun/tazik/big daddy bomb) hot fix. I just whined 2 times in 2 places i knew the devs would actually look and boom the day after it was nurfed. Bit of a special case that one tho, it was not hard atall to sell my case with that; a 10k bolt gun in the 60s bracet lol or 20k big daddy bomb (hits on 35% resil) in the 70s bracet. I WIN BUTTON!
 
"dont think it's comming back.. its gonna be an "statsless" version of the old item, witch the bluepost allso kinda states..



anywho, not worth getting your hopes up. "



Think you missed something then, they clearly stated that statless armor cannot be used for transfiguration.
 
I just want a vanilla wow realm where everyone is capped under 60, and its back to the old AV days....until then this game is shit :/.

not going to happen and pointless, wow has nothing in comon with before, they would have to take a completly different version of wow, which obviously is incompatible with current games files, will never happen ever



and yep T3 will only be a statless item, I think it's fair for thoses old school vanilla chars, that would be screwing the legend...
 
It was noted, but I do not have the reference, that items will be available from the darkmoon vendors near the transmog npcs. Perhaps retired pvp sets and T3? It would be amazing but lets not get our hopes up just yet



*crosses fingers for shaman T3*
 
retired pvp sets? only pvp set unobtainable is s3 is it not?
