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]] items. There might even be special, limited-edition transmog appearances given away in contests, in Blizzcon goodie bags, etc.
* More details on Transmog are expected at [[Blizzcon 2013]].

'''Transmogrification''' (Transmog) is a system coming to Diablo 3 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 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.

==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==
*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.
*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.<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>
===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.<ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/blizzard-supplies-diablo-3-transmogrify-details Acquiring 'plans' to access] - CM, Blizzard Entertainment, 10/09/13</ref>
