Transmog

Despite this week's Diablo buzz, it's been relatively quiet for us Blizzard Watchers...

Thanks to patch 10.0.5 and the ability to transmog white-quality items, you too can finally look like you're just taking a break from performing with a mariachi band to do some questing on the Dragon Isles.

In late January, a simple one-line note appeared in the hotfixes: "Removed the holiday requirement for many holiday transmog rewards." This was exciting news for many transmog enthusiasts, but also vague -- what items had their holiday requirement removed?

Of all the artifact appearances we saw in Legion, the lengthy Balance of Power quest rewarded my favorite one.

When patch 10.0.5 goes live later today we'll finally get a much-requested transmog feature: we'll finally be able to transmog white and gray quality items.

World of Warcraft players are getting a new feature with the Trading Post, which will allow them to earn currency that can be traded for an assortment of cosmetic rewards.

Whenever a transmog system is introduced into one of the many games I play, I immediately look at it and debate whether or not it would be a good fit for World of Warcraft, the game that taught me how much I love transmog.

With the arrival of the final Shadowlands patch, World of Warcraft has officially entered its pre-expansion lull, and while the Dragonflight alpha is chugging along, many players tend to farm old expansions during the downtime, looking to pick up collectibles and transmogs they may have missed the first time around.

The biggest issue with professions in WoW will finally be solved in Dragonflight with the introduction of profession equipment, which will help characters look the part, as well as provide actual bonuses to the professions.

Patch 9.2.5 added the ability to obtain a set of Dark Ranger customizations for your Night Elf, Blood Elf, or Void Elf characters, as well as a new title, and a new Dark Ranger transmog set for Hunters.
