The Queue: Playing dress-up

Welcome back to The Queue, our daily Q&A feature for all of Blizzard’s games! Have a question for the Blizzard Watch staff? Leave it in the comments!

Assuming they’re items your character can add to the wardrobe, yes. If you’re a plate wearer who likes keeping pretty cloth dresses around, those cloth dresses won’t be added to the wardrobe on that character, so you might want to keep them. But all of your plate, all of your equippable weapons, all of that — it can go.

It isn’t available, but there probably won’t be another client patch before it becomes available. Any errors which exist now, particularly tooltip errors which can’t be hotfixed, will still exist when the invasion event (or the Broken Isles event) opens up. In this case, you’ll be aware of the errors before you encounter them.

Since you apply glyphs directly to spells now, you’d find that information on the spell you’ve modified. Honestly, I think they should’ve kept some sort of centralized UI telling you which glyphs/scrolls you have active and which are available, because hovering over all of your tooltips to figure out what you did or did not do is not the most helpful thing ever.

If you have something in your bags which you do not have in your wardrobe yet but can be learned, there will be a blue line of text on the tooltip which says “You haven’t collected this appearance.” If you already have it, or you can’t learn it on that character, there will be no text at all.

Now that I’m seeing the system on live servers, I do think tooltips should say something if you already have it, too. Pets do this, right? If you don’t have a pet in your collection yet, it tells you. If you do have it, it tells you how many. For the sake of clarity, wardrobe items should have a yes/no indicator, too.

The precious few cosmetic glyphs from previous expansions which weren’t burned to a crisp in this patch still exist. However, any new glyphs come from Legion content, yes.

Well, since you asked… non-Blizzard Watch things which have been written by Blizzard Watch staffers gets rotated into the “More From Our Staff” section of the right sidebar, all the way at the bottom. Currently, there’s Matthew Rossi’s Nameless and my Lady Superior.

I don’t want to make a habit of plugging this stuff in our actual Blizzard Watch content, but I do want people to be aware of that widget over there. We have other staffers working on external projects and I love supporting their work. Keep an eye on that widget, and even when my own work isn’t in there, please consider supporting our crew! When Blizzard games are both work and leisure, it feels really good to work on something else creatively.

I never got a cloak in MoP, so I can’t answer this. However, I’m including it for visibility. Commenters, do you know?

I vendored the vast majority of my stuff, but there’s no way in hell I’m getting rid of Quel’Serrar. Ever.
