Collect Class Restricted Transmog from Quests and Loot Drops on Any Character in Patch 11.0.5

Following the introduction of Warbands, we’ve seen a lot of discussion and received a lot of feedback from Transmog collectors. We want everyone to know that we’re currently working on some improvements to appearance collecting that are planned for the next patch after the release of The War Within.

First is an update to class-restricted gear. We’re working to make it so that non-cosmetic class-restricted gear can have its appearance collected by any class. Appearance collection will be retroactive to any gear in your inventory or bank. The intent is to make it much easier to collect class sets from legacy raids where that gear drops directly.

We’re also still working on the much-discussed update that makes it so that when quests are completed, all appearances from non-cosmetic item rewards will be granted, regardless of whether that particular class could have seen or chosen them. We plan for this to be retroactive, so any quests that you previously completed should grant all qualifying appearances when you first log onto any character. The intent here is to remove the need for completing these quests on multiple classes in order to collect all the appearances they provide.

Again, our intent is to implement the above with the next patch after the launch of The War Within.

Thank you very much!

You picked one of the worst examples. The Lawbringer Bracers are BoE, you could just mail them to your pally.

Comment by cloudcap

This feels like it announced so long ago, i keep forgetting its not in yet. Go do a transmog run because i think i can collect the other sets. Getting a couple to drop realizing its not in yet, then having to store the stuff in void storage.

Comment by Admiralbattle

does this mean we can tmog leather on a warrior or something like that now? orrrrr is that still gonna be the same too?

Comment by RAWRburgers

I'm assuming it wasn't quite ready for release for whatever reason and thats why it was removed.

No you're just a nitpicky !@#$%^&. It fits just fine because it can be unlocked in the coming patch without being a Paladin. The example is just fine.

No, it'll just mean say that if you get a cloth piece of gear on a mail wearer for example, the mog will be available to use on your cloth wearing alt characters

i hope this will apply to the covenant campaigns from shadowlands.

Comment by Taillevent

I thought they deliberately took this out. I hope it makes it live. It will be nice not to run MC 100 more times!

Comment by TheGoldenElm

Yay! I wonder if it'll work for Unity world quest rewards?

Anyways, glad to see class restrictions not being so fustrating when doing mog runs. Wish that part were retroactive, but it is what it is. That would be a lot of data to go through!(##RESPBREAK##)272##DELIM##Uchur##DELIM##Response to moderated content omitted

That was already the case with TWW launch. What this change does is allow you to unlock class restricted transmogs on other characters. You still can't use them except on their respective classes, but this is the last hurdle for collecting transmog from other classes.

So the class restricted gear drops from Molten Core, Blackwing Lair, Antorus, and Tomb of Sargeras (the main ones I can think of at the moment) will be unlocked once obtained on any character. The Tier set pieces that drop as tokens still require being opened by the class you want the item for, but since they're warbound you can just send them to the alt that needs them.

This is great. The only thing we need now is the ability to transmog any armor our characters are able to wear. IE, hunters being able to transmog leather. So many leather pieces look like they were made to be for hunters.

That function was available for the most part at the launch of TWW.

What they're adding is the ability to add to the collection the class-specific items (e.g. stuff that says "Class: Hunter" etc.) that you could get as another class but it wouldn't register to your collection because of the class-specific tag. Mostly pertains to direct-drop Tier armor. Or like, if you got the Blades of Azzinoth on a Priest.

So this means that the Class: Hunter Sylvanus legendary bow and the quiver sitting sad on my Paladin can finally be added to the collection for my Hunter to use. Still won't allow other classes to use the transmog but at least the matching classes can.

I've been saving my one free day from that disastrous pre-patch maintenance day to redeem on my alt account after the patch launches so I can log in to my characters on that account and hopefully get a few more mogs from quests they completed pre-Cataclysm.

They drop directly in vanilla (MC, BWL), Draenor (BRF, HFC), and Legion (NH, ToS, Antorus). BRF in Draenor is mitigated by some warbound meta-tokens dropping from Blackhand, but otherwise it's Tiers 1 & 2 in vanilla, the second and final tier of Draenor, and all of Legion that are only from class-specific drops from bosses (outside of non-set lookalikes), and the BRF tier is helped a lot by this change even with the meta-tokens existing.

I am not sure that I would expect the retrospective quest script to count quests that are no longer in game. We'll see.

Comment by Vossler

Finally! Huge W
I'm very happy with this news!

Comment by lovelywaz

I will take any rare W, which only further confirms we are still playing TheOpenBetaWitin. Patch 11.05 will be the proper Live Retail version of the well polished game release.
