The base gold cost to save outfit looks with the new Transmog system that was introduced in the World of Warcraft: Midnight The Pre-Expansion Update has been halved. These gold saving changes are officially live World of Warcraft from a new hotfix.
The Transmog system underwent a complete overhaul i World of Warcraft: Midnight Pre-expansion update on January 20th. Instead of paying to change the appearance of gear individually as it was before, this new system allows players to set up outfits in advance that automatically update the appearance of all items when equipped. While this would theoretically save money in the long run, it has a high purchase cost, as outfit slots must be purchased with gold, and Transmog prices were raised around the table.
The worst World of Warcraft spec ever might actually be my favorite of the midnight expansion
World of Warcraft is making a ton of changes with its Midnight expansion, and one of the worst classes in the game's history is better than you think.
World of Warcraft Outfit Transmog costs reduced by 50%
Now, World of Warcraft has implemented a change that will help fans adapt to this new Transmog system while saving money. A new hotfix recently went live that has reduced the average cost of saving items in clothing by about 50%. For example, an outfit that used to cost 2,776 gold before this hotfix now only costs 1,388 to save.
This hotfix makes the current cost of Transmogging look roughly where it was before these changes were implemented, albeit in a way that doesn't need to be updated every time a new item is obtained. But the costs are now the same at all levels, meaning signs below the max level i Wow will have to spend hundreds more gold than before to save an outfit. Additionally, there will be no refunds for players who have already saved outfits prior to these changes.
The Ethereal Connection racial ability for Void Elves reduces the cost of setting up an outfit by an additional 50%.
Note that the cost of purchasing new outfit slots has not been affected by this hotfix. As said, World of Warcraft already drastically reduced the cost of buying them between the beta and its full release, and also made them account-wide unlocks.
Despite these improvements, World of Warcraft fans may still want to wait to fix all their Transmogs. Wow recently revealed that each character would receive a free Transmog discount to allow them to create a single outfit at no cost. This freebie will be delivered automatically to characters prior to the 12.0.1 update, meaning they will likely see it within the next few weeks at the latest.
How does Trial of Style work in World of Warcraft now?
The Trial of Style is a semi-annual event that takes place around March and August each year, and features a fashion competition mini-game and exclusive World of Warcraft cosmetics as a reward. Previously, all Transmogging was free during these periods, leading players to also call the event “Mog Week”.
Unfortunately, this will no longer be the case with the new Transmog system i World of Warcraft. In the same forum post where this change was announced, Wow community manager Linxy also cleared the air about how Trial of Style will work from now on. Instead of all Transmog costs being waived, each character will receive a special Trial of Style outfit slot that can be updated for free during the week-long event for use in competition. Unfortunately, the slot will be removed when the event ends, meaning it won't help alleviate the cost of Transmogging in a permanent sense.
The next Trial of Style takes place on March 20, so fans will be able to see this system in action soon. World of Warcraft: Midnight will be released on March 2nd, so players will have roughly two weeks to collect all the possible new Transmogs to use during the Fashion Contest.
