Patch 4.3 added the option to customize gear appearance. While it is still somewhat limited, I went nuts with it and came up with stuff I'm happy with. Two of my characters:

You have to have been able to equip the item- the transmogrification has to use items that are soul bound to you. I haven't actually tried transmogrifying something branded, "Class: Mage, etc...", on my Priest, but my sneaking suspicion is that it won't work. I haven't seen people doing that; although, there are a lot of recolored or tooled sets that match class-specific stuff.Lavarinth wrote:Oh yes, yes, I recall this now.

It's type-specific, right, so one-hand mace to one-hand mace, dagger to dagger; although, the one exception seems to be ranged weapons. Bows, guns, and whatever are interchangeable for appearance; at least that's what I've been told. I don't believe a legendary item can be used to transmogrify. The item that you use for appearance cloning isn't consumed; the new interface for transmogrification is basically a character screen on an NPC, you drop the item in an appropriate slot, and then press the transmogrification button. Afterward you can do anything you want with the item. Considering how much item swapping people are doing now with new dungeons and raids, it would have been really irritating if transmogrification consumed the item. Then again, I also wouldn't have put it past Blizzard.IskatuMesk wrote:Man, I had a lot of shit this might have been useful for. Memory recalls that it's for type-specifics and doesn't work with legendaries, though. Does it eat the item you use for appearance cloning?
Only if you are the class that can equip it.Lavarinth wrote:Oh yes, yes, I recall this now. I wonder- can you do it class specific items?
