→How to Transmog
'''Transmogrification''' (Transmog) is a system that allows characters in-game to change the appearance (but not the function) of their weapons and armor. It's a purely aesthetic device, akin to [[Armor Dye]] but changing the graphic, not just the color.
To unlock different Transmog looks, players must level up the [[Mystic]]. As she levels up she will constantly gain new transmog options for every item slot, until at level 12 she can make any item look like any other item tier. To grain gain transmog looks of legendary or set items, they must be found. When a player finds a particular legendary item for the first time, a "Transmog Unlocked" text pops up.
The transmog system is common in other RPGs, and the way it works in Diablo 3 is more or less directly taken from World of Warcraft.
#Click item to view it on your character.
#Click Transmogrify once you find an appearance you wish to change the item to.

What items can be transmogged into which others has changed repeatedly since launch, with more freedom and options added over time. There remain some inconsistencies, such as Crusaders able to transmog 1H flails into any other 1H melee weapon, while they can not transmog 2H flails into any other items (though 1H and 2H flails look basically identical when equipped).
Legendaries and Set items found before the expansion (referred to as legacy items) will '''not''' unlock the ability to transmogrify items into their appearance.<ref name="mystic">[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/reintroducing-mystic-enchanting-transmog-illustrated Reintroducing the Mystic] - CM, Blizzard Entertainment 24/10/13</ref>
*Items will only unlock their appearances in the mode (softcore/hardcore) they are found in.
*If an item has been transmogrified and can be traded it will retain its appearance once traded, even if the recipient hasn't unlocked that appearance with their own Mystic.
*If you trade for an item that has been transmogrified and you do not like the appearance you can pay your Mystic to remove it. If you remove the appearance from the item and you haven't unlocked the appearance yourself you won't be able to re-apply it via your Mystic until you have unlocked it.<ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/blizzard-answers-transmog-binding-questions Trading Transmogrified items] - CM, Blizzard Entertainment, 15/11/13</ref>
*Fist weapons are in their own category for transmogrification, and can't be changed into one-handed swords or other weapons.<ref name="categories">[http://blues.incgamers.com/Posts/10/1/73/1347/214468/consider-legendaries-for-transmogrification#postId_555209 Transmog Categories] - CM, Blizzard Entertainment, 01/11/13</ref>*Wands are in their own category too, <ref name="categories" /> as are Flails. <ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/reaper-souls-ptr-reminders Flail's category] - CM, Blizzard Entertainment, 02/02/14</ref>*Ceremonial knives overlap with daggers and some spears so can be transmogrified into those.<ref name="categories" />
Transmog was mentioned briefly in a number of interviews from [[Gamescom 2013]], but details were very sparse. In early September 2013 more details came from a forum post by CM Grimiku.<ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/blizzard-supplies-diablo-3-transmogrify-details Acquiring 'plans' to access] - CM, Blizzard Entertainment, 10/09/13</ref>
<blue><font color="#FFFFFF">Are we gonna need the gear we want our current gear to look like in our stash or there will be a void storage? or is there going to be a full list of all items you have acquired at least once, even if you dont have it anymore that you can choose from?</font><br>
Initially, items transmogrified would bind to players' accounts, ([[BoA]]) but during development that changed some time in October 2013.<ref name="defends">[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/diablo-3-transmog-dressing-up-dolls Blizzard Defends Transmogrification] - CM, Blizzard Entertainment, 01/11/13</ref>
<blue>Lylirra: Currently, the binding is part of the cost of the service and helps function as an item sink. While we’ll be removing the gold and real-money auction houses, we’re still evaluating what measures are required (in their absence) to ensure a good item acquisition/reward loop for any given player. 01/11/13</blue>
<blue>Lylirra: It’s more than a subtle hint. I actually just spoke to Wyatt this morning, and they’ve already tasked removing BoA from transmogrification. 01/11/13</blue>
