Transmogrification, Part 2: Unique Items and More Tier

Posted 2011/08/21 at 9:56 AM by perculia

basics of Transmogrification

Legendaries: a blue post clarified they can't be used :(

Stat-less gear: no starter, holiday, or vendor-bought gear. (How cool would it be to have a tank in a level 1 shield?)

Armor/weapon disguises that don't use the accepted type for a class: DKs as rogues, hunters as warlocks, casters wielding large axes, etc.

Silly items: gear in the shapes of fish, flowers, or frying pans.

We've updated this guide in 4.3 to include transmog set links and image mouseovers for item sets in the last table.

Transmogrification: Tier Armor covers all class-specific tier sets--both PvE and PvP.

Transmogrification: Matching Greens covers matching green-quality BoE sets.

Transmogrification: Look-Alike Tier: all items that resemble class-only tier, which anyone can equip.

Transmogrification: Grey and Starter Look-Alike Gear covers green-quality items that resemble typical junk-quality armor, as well as transmoggable items that look like level 1 starter gear.

Transmogrification: Quest and Dungeon Armor covers all matching armor scattered across quest rewards and instances.

Transmogrification: All Cloak Styles sorts all capes by similar models.

Void Storage

For the complete write-up of Void Storage by the blues, check out our newspost on Void Storage.

Void Storage will open up 80 slots of long-term storage space.

Vaults will be located in Stormwind and Orgrimmar. They can be accessed by talking to Vaultkeepers.

Items that can be placed inside Void Storage include soulbound items and Battle.net Account Bound items. Simply drag and drop them into the bank.

Of course, as the Vaultkeepers are Ethereals, there will be a price for depositing and withdrawing. This fee, displayed at the bottom of the screen, will change based on the amount of items moved. There is no additional fee to keep an item in Void Storage for a very long time.

Void Storage is not intended to be a second bank for frequently-used items. Therefore, any items placed in Void Storage will have all enhancements removed: enchants, gems, sockets, reforged stats. (So if you've got something like Power of the Scourge on tier 3 shoulders or Enchant Weapon - Mongoose on Warglaives, you probably don't want to put these in storage.)

A new search feature in 4.3 will allow players to quickly search their banks, bags, and Void Storage for elusive items. By typing the name of an item--or even a word--into a search box, your open inventories will be filtered, only displaying matching results.

Top Picks: Dungeon/Raid Gear

Sometimes there's gear that looks like nothing you've ever seen before--maybe it reflects the lore of a specific encounter, looks like removed vanilla gear, or is an absurd color combination. I'm going to highlight some of the more interesting items from dungeons that I've come across in mostly vanilla and TBC, but I'm sure each reader has their own favorites as well. In later tiers, the 'offset' items looked more like class tier and less unique, which I'm not covering below: saving the look-alike tier for the next guide! (Also, there's a ton of cool greens, but those will be in the next guide as well.)

I've also highlighted, as per the request of my awesome guild, some of my favorite capes--you can hide them, but sometimes a nice flowing cape really adds to the overall look.

Non-Specific Tier Sets

Everyone has been asking me about featuring matching quasi-sets without class restrictions. You know, stuff with 5 different names that isn't officially related, but together looks exactly like a tier set your class can't normally equip. Purple Judgment, blue Bloodfang, etc. I think they're awesome, but it will take us a few more days to code all the items that mimic class tier. In the meantime, here are some non-class specific sets. Even if your class doesn't benefit from a set bonus, you can equip it.

Comment by GrifthIf you're going for the Scourgeborne Waraxe, you should consider buying Wrathful Gladiator's Chopper. It's only a few honor points, and you don't have to hope for a drop in ICC.Comment by NulapwnPlease, whats name or ID of that chest she's wearing on screenshot for "Top Picks: Dungeon/Raid Gear" http://static.wowhead.com/uploads/screenshots/normal/243687.jpg
It does look like Vestments of the Shifting Sands from AQ40, but she wears Cursed vision of Sargeras, so i guess it's leatherComment by OverZealousI love you.

Seriously though, I feel inclined to say that this is your coolest guide yet - thanks for listing those weapons, had totally forgot about some of them (and I've never even seen some of them before), and I definitely intend to set out on a gear hunt very soon!
Well done!Comment by 126061This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by 609523This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by JasperKazaiI'm surprised that you included Life and Death but not The Turning Tide... The Turning Tide is so much cooler, IMO. I'm glad I still have it saved on my Mage, but I have a strong desire to use a lightsaber too.Comment by alienorThe formatting is weird on this for me. For example, the "Dagger" tab, the cell with the Dragonfang Blade stretches out the first cell to be so big that I can't read the Description cells. The text in the first cell is forced to be all on one line and I think that's what's causing the issue. If each weapon could be on it's own line, then the cell could be a normal size and the table would resize to be readable.

But, otherwise, exceptionally good job (on the tabs that I can use, anyway!)Comment by PoddinMy Warlock is glad that 'mogging has arrived and glad that I've kept the Soul HarvesterComment by perculiaFori--thanks for the link. I've seen it before, but it's a bit sparse on t10-12. It's definitely a good reference point--we'll be creating custom itemsets on those 'fake' sets for the final guide :)

Nulapwn--It is in fact the Vestments of the Shifting Sands. I was mixing and matching unique items just so people could get a sense of what a few neat things looked like.

Fun fact: I vended some gear to make space for that screenshot in the middle of nowhere. Then I logged off. GG me on forgetting to buyback some of my own vanity gear :(

Grifth--that's a very good point. Someone in guild is talking about that too with Apolyon/Brutal weapons. I think that's definitely something for me to mention in the look-alike guide.

Alienor--I haven't heard others mention that cell issue yet, but I'll try splitting up that entry and seeing if it solves it for you.Comment by goddedThe Horseman's Horrific Helm is definately missing in the plate section imho.Comment by RestorawrTheldurin's Fist :)

Edit: Calamity's Grasp ;D

Edit2: Greed, Pride :P

Edit3: Staff of Feral Furies :3

Edit 4: Peacekeeper Blade, Maexxna's FemurComment by perculiaThanks for the weapon suggestions--I definitely don't mind. I'll probably wait a few hours and compile the comments later in the day.Comment by FlitzyI don't get why people overlook Rod of the Sleepwalker? It's one of the most simplest staves that actually looks like one a caster would wield.

It's become my go to weapon of choice for RP sets.Comment by perculiaIt's listed as having a similar model to 13 weapons on our database, so I think people just assume it's common. There's a lot more plain sticks than t5 priest heads, but I will add it later as a reference in case someone doesn't want an epic look. Some guildies were complaining that I included Twinblade of the Phoenix because it was 'boring'--so I see where you are coming from cause I thought it was simple and cool.Comment by VantoxAs a dwarf hunter, I pride myself on my awesome guns. The greatest of which (according to myself and everyone I know) is the Wolfslayer Sniper Rifle. I'm incredibly glad I'll be able to use that model again.Comment by GrosshahnOk so... I have a lot of items that I would put on this list, so here goes.

Heart of the Pit from Brutallus in SWP
Staff of the Redeemer from The Cipher of Damnation in Shadowmoon Valley
Widebarrel Flintlock from Val'kyr Twins in ToC 10 man (The heroic version is the same)
Frost Needle from Lord Marrogar in 10 man ICC (Heroic version has a purple glow rather than blue)
Frostblade Hatchet/Blood Fury from Anub'arak 10 man in ToC and 25 man Lord Jaraxxus in ToC respectively (Heroic versions the same, Frostblade is red, Blood Fury is green)
Staff of Endless Winter from 25 Heroic Hodir in Ulduar (see "Same model as" for the other staves)
Twin's Pact from Val'kyr Twins in ToC 25 man
Oxheart from Valithria Dreamwalker 10 man in ICC

If I think of anymore, I'll post them, but for now I'd like to get back to farming MC for my Felheart set!Comment by AdamsmAnother great guide.Comment by 452400It is not the biggest, most badass gun in the game, but I will definitely consider transmogrifying my bow/crossbow/gun into Cry of the Wolf. The design is simple, but I think it radiates flavor... especially if you are a Worgen.Comment by nideffer5Two 2-h swords I'd like to see are Armageddon from Naxx, and Destiny, the 50-60 world rare drop.Comment by 195945This post was from a user who has deleted their account.
