'''Transmogrification''', planned for implementation in [[Patch 4.3]], provides the ability to exchange the appearance of your armor and weapons with those of other items. However you must possess and be able to equip both items, and both must be of the same armor or weapon type. Not all items or pairings can be used in the transmogrification process.<ref>{{ref web |url=http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/blog/2808997#blog |title=Patch 4.3 Preview: Transmogrification - World of Warcraft |accessdate=2011-08-18 |date=2011-08-18 |publisher=eu.battle.net |language=English}}</ref><ref>{{ref web |url=http://wow.joystiq.com/2011/08/18/transmogrification-restrictions-clarifications/ |title=Blizzard issues transmogrification system clarifications |accessdate=2011-08-19 |date=2011-08-18 |publisher=wow.joystiq.com |language=English}}</ref><ref>{{ref web |url=http://wow.gamona.de/2011/08/17/wow-patch-4-3-ein-raid-drei-instanzen-und-ein-wirklich-lang-gehegter-traum/#more-60439 |title=WoW Patch 4.3: Ein Raid, drei Instanzen und ein wirklich lang gehegter Traum |accessdate=2011-08-17 |author=DrJones |date=2011-08-17 |publisher=WorldofWar.de |language=German}}</ref>

''The [[Ethereal]]s, emerging from the [[nether]], will bring with them a new technology they call Transmogrification. They’re heading to the capital cities of [[Azeroth]] to set up shop and to offer adventurers a unique service - copying the appearance of one magical item onto another. They only ask for a modest gold donation to recoup their costs.''
 
 
''Visiting a Transmogrifier will present players with a new interface that will allow them to change the appearance of an item while retaining its original stats. This means that you can raid in your paladin tier 12 Immolation set, but look like you’re wearing Lightbringer, while priests can bring Benediction back -at least in spirit. Hunters can once again roam the jungles of Stranglethorn Vale in their tier 2 Dragonstalker set. You could even slip into the saucy tailored Black Mageweave set for that matter. You know, with the thigh highs, and the little gloves, and the cute little... ahem.''
 
 
''Placing an item into the Transmogrifier interface will offer a preview of how the item will appear once the change is applied. However, not all item pairings are compatible with Transmogrification. In general, only items that have stats can be used in the transmogrification process. You must also be able to wear both items when using this service. Ethereals don’t have much in the way of ethics, but allowing someone to appear as if they’re equipping unusable items crosses the line. Similarly, they won’t allow you to change weapon or armor types. Sneaky death knights can’t make that breastplate look like a cloth robe, and you can’t make a one-handed axe look like a two-handed axe, or transform a sword’s appearance into that of a mace. Guns, bows, and crossbows will be the exception to this rule. You will finally be able to retain your dwarf’s racial gun bonus while appearing with all the splendor and elegance of a bow wielder (or at least the relative silence of one).''
 
 
''Placing items into the Transmogrify interface will increase the gold cost of the process, and clicking the Transmogrify button (assuming you have the necessary funds) will put the appearance change into effect. The process can be reversed by clicking the undo icon on each item, and then hitting the Transmogrify button once more to save the changes. Any item that’s transmogrified will have text indicating it’s been altered by the process for all to see, similar to the item tooltip callout for reforged items.''
 
 
''Transmogrification encourages players to hold onto items with sentimental or aesthetic value, and the Ethereals anticipate that personal bag and bank space will be at a premium now that everyone will be hoarding their frilly pantaloons and leather jerkins. In anticipation of this new demand for additional storage space, they’ll be introducing a unique [[Void Storage]] service. What’s Void Storage, you ask? We’ll provide more details soon.''

Since we announced the transmogrification feature coming to World of Warcraft with patch 4.3, we have monitored thousands of follow-up comments, questions and suggestions from players all over the world.
 
 
What follows is our current list of rules for transmogrification. This is a set of rules that we expect to change over time, and is not intended to be 100% comprehensive, but we hope that it can be referenced to answer most questions that players currently have about what they can and cannot expect to be able to do with transmogrification.
 
 
*The character must be able to equip both items.
 
 
*Only uncommon (green), rare (blue) or epic (purple) items may be transmogrified. (exceptions: a select few of these items will be prevented from being used to transmogrify if they are inappropriate)
 
 
*Items must share the same armor type (examples: plate for plate, cloth for cloth)
 
 
*Weapons must be the same weapon type (exceptions: Guns, Crossbows, or Bows)
 
 
*Guns, Crossbows, and Bows can be used to transmogrify Guns, Crossbows, or Bows.
 
 
*Main hand weapons can only be used to transmogrify Main hand weapons.

==Known transmogrifiers==
 
*[[Warpweaver Hashom]]
 
 
==Notes==
 
*There will be a gold cost for transmogrifying items. Likely to scale with item level.<ref>{{ref web|url=http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/3053897324?page=2#27|title=Transmogrification: The next cow to be milked|accessdate=2011-08-25|date=2011-08-22|publisher=us.battle.net|language=English}}</ref>
 
*Class restrictions do apply. Warriors can't take the look of Death Knight specific gear for example.
 
*Apparently, there is a chance that Patch 4.3 will also include "special vendors or NPCs" who will help players complete their character outfits by selling items which otherwise are unavailable.<ref>[[:image:Mogging Vendors Info Stuff.JPG]]</ref>
