Blizzard today announced they’re reducing transmog outfit costs in the Midnight Beta by roughly 60%!
Hello! I’ve got some quick updates on the development and design of the new Transmog features.
- We’re working on making it so that outfit slot unlocks are warbind-wide, rather than per-character.
We’re also continuing to adjust pricing, including reductions to the cost to set outfits.
- We’re planning to reduce the cost to save a full outfit by about 60%.
- We will significantly reduce the cost to unlock slots.
- As in the current public Beta, the unlock cost of outfit slots will increase depending on how many you have already unlocked.
- The overall cost to unlock outfit slots will be reduced by about 80%.
- We’re planning to increase the total number of outfit slots available, from 20 to 50.
- We’ve seen a lot of feedback from players who feel that they need the extra flexibility of a lot of slots.
We expect most or all of the pricing updates to come with the next Beta build, currently expected to arrive on December 3. The warband-wide update will hit the Beta at a later date.
As always, thank you very much for your feedback!
What Was the Issue with the New Transmog System?
When players started digging into the numbers of the new transmog system in the Beta, they found out outfit slot prices were increasing the further you went, with the last few slots costing 100K gold each and the full 20-slot setup costing nearly 800K. What’s even worse is none of these slots were account-wide, so you’d have to buy them separately on each character.
Here’s a really great visual by dataminer Keyboardturn of the system before this week’s changes.
A quick visual, a lot of people seem confused. Outfit Slots are the newer outfits with situations tied to them, Equipment Slots the actual body part area, and Custom Sets are the older version of Transmog. Any edit you make to an Equipment Slot costs gold to apply to a selected Outfit Slot.
