[[File:Transmogrify-01.png|200px|thumb|right|Transmog Interface]]'''Transmogrification''' (Transmog) is a system coming to Diablo 3 that allows characters in the expansion [[Reaper of Souls]]. It's taken directly from [http://www.wowwiki.com/Transmogrification the popular system of the same name] in World of Warcraft, and enables characters -game to change the appearance (but not the function) of their gearweapons and armor. The It's a purely aesthetic device, akin to [[MysticArmor Dye]] NPC but changing the graphic, not just the color. Transmog is only available in [[ArtisanReaper of Souls]] is or the place to go to transmog [[Ultimate Evil Edition]]; not in [[Diablo 3 Reaper of Soulsvanilla]].
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.

*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 Upgrades in Patch 2.1==
The major content [[patch 2.1]] removed many of the restrictions on what item types could be transmogged. [http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/diablo-3-patch-2-1-new-transmog-options]
<blue>We’ve got some adjustments to the Transmogrify system on the way, and you should be able to test them out on the PTR at some point in the near(ish) future. There will still be some restrictions in place, but some of the current ones will be lifted. Specifically the class-restricted limitations will be modified to offer a little more freedom.
I can tell you up front that you won’t be able to Transmogrify your gear to look like another class, but you’ll have more options for your own class-specific gear when all is said and done.
<font color="#FFFFFF">But what if you want to turn a normal shield into a Crusader shield?</font>
This should work as long as you do it while playing your Crusader. The shield will default back to its normal appearance if you transfer it to another character, though.
<font color="#FFFFFF">We especially need more options for 2H flails. 1H flails can be 1H swords/axes/maces, so why can’t 2H flails be 2H swords/axes/maces?</font>
The current restrictions on weapon transmogrification will still be in place after this change, but I’ll bring this specific situation up at our next meeting.
<font color="#FFFFFF">That's good to hear. I will assume my barb can finally transmog Raekors on her gear (also picked this up when I caught part of yesterday’s stream, they said someone had this working internally).</font>
This is a good example of what will be possible once these changes take place. Currently, players are unable to Transmog gear into the Raekor set, and even in a situation where the original piece of gear in question is a piece of Raekor. However, after the change a Barbarian could alter their gear to look like Raekors, so long as it’s been unlocked as an option. The item would default to its original appearance when transferred to a different class.
<font color="#FFFFFF">Please for the love all all things holy let us transmog our 2hand flails to other weapon types.</font>
I’m going to bring this up at our next meeting with the developers and see what they say. There might be technical reasons why this is restricted, but the way it currently works is not very intuitive since 1-handed flails can Transmog into other weapons </blue>
