As you all probably know, Mvq made an incredible discovery recently. He posted about it in a thread that now seems to have been deleted. Later Turtle made a new thread, a sort of troll thread to be honest, in which he reposted the discovery. It obviously got deleted since he took credit for Mvq's work.
Now, I'm not here to take credit for anything, I simply feel like the work done by Mvq, is of such usefulness to twinks of every level, that it would be a complete waste and shame to not make it available for everyone. I hope for the sake of every twink struggling with the Legion transmog system, that the mods and Mvq will let this thread stay unlocked, so that it will be visible to everyone.
Now enough talk, here is what Mvq discovered, and how to actually do it.
What does it do?
In the 7.0 patch the new transmog system was implemented, that among other things limited your transmog options; you are now only able to mog items that are of your primary armor type, i.e. rogues can only mog leather items, warriors can only mog plate items etc.
What this method does is that it allows you to mog items even though they're not your primary armor type. For instance a rogue can now transmog the cloth boots that he is wearing into another pair of cloth boots.
It does not allow you to transmog a pair of leather boots into a pair of cloth boots, and not the other way around either. The same rules for transmogging that we know from before 7.0 still applies.
How do you do it?
First of all you need to download this AddOn, Can I Mog It?
Then you need to log in -> Go to Game Menu (Escape button) -> Interface -> AddOns -> Can I Mog It? -> And activate Debug Tooltip.
It should look like this:
Then you need to copy this script (I suggest saving it in a Notepad file):
Now what you have to do, is find the transmog item you need. We'll use my level 29 rogue as example: I have equipped a pair of cloth boots; Goblin Rocket Boots and want them transmogged into Spidersilk Boots. I then find the pair of Spidersilk Boots, it can either be linked in chat, or be in your bags / on the AH. Click or hover over the item, and this should be what you see:
The only information you need from this is the "Item sourceID":
In this case it's 1691.
If you cannot find the item in your bags, or on the AH, you can always go to www.wowhead.com, find the item and press the "Links" button:
Then this will appear:
And you simply just copy the "Ingame Link" and post it ingame in chat.
Now the second thing you need, is the item slot number, or "slotID".
Turtle made this picture which illustrates perfectly what number you need for every slot:
In this case it's 8.
Now we go back to our script from before:
Replace the "###" with the sourceID and slotID, in our case:
Copy the script when you're done, and move to the Transmogrifier, speak to him, and post the script in chat. Viola, you should now have transmogged your item.
Important!
In order to transmog items that are not your primary armor type, like Spidersilk Boots on a rogue, you need to have learned the appearence on a character that uses cloth as their main armor type, like priest, warlock or mage, since Spidersilk Boots are cloth. Same goes if you wanted to mog some leather boots, you would have to have learned the leather boots appearence on a druid, monk or rogue.
If you're trying to mog Lucky Fishing Hat, you need to have atleast 1 skill in Fishing.
