Transmogrification (Transmog) is a system coming to Diablo 3 in the expansion Reaper of Souls. It's taken directly from the popular system of the same name in World of Warcraft, and enables characters to change the appearance (but not the function) of their gear. The Mystic NPC Artisan is the place to go to get some transmog on in D3X.
Transmog will function entirely via the Mystic NPC, and it will work much like the Jeweler and Blacksmith work; some recipes (for different transmog looks) will be enabled by training the Mystic to higher levels, and other transmog looks will be enabled by finding items and identifying Legendary and Set items. There might even be special, limited-edition transmog appearances given away in contests, in Blizzcon goodie bags, etc.
Method
- Place item you wish to alter into the Mystic's Transmogrify interface.
- A list of possible looks will display as well as a portrait of your character.
- Click item to view it on your character.
- Click Transmogrify once you find an appearance you wish to change the item to.

Scope and Restrictions
- Level up the Mystic for new appearances and identify Legendaries and Set items for additional appearances.
- Legendaries and Set items found before the expansion (referred to as legacy items) will not unlock the ability to transmogrify items into their appearance.[1]
- Items will only unlock their appearances in the mode (softcore/hardcore) they are found in.
- Items transmogrified will not bind to the player's account so they remain tradeable.
Development of Transmogrification
October 2013
Initially, items transmogrified would bind to players' accounts, (BoA) but during development that changed some time in October 2013.[2]
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
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
August 2013
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.[3]
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?
