Blizzard has announced a new feature that will be included in the World of Warcraft 4.3 update called Tranmogrification, which aims to correct a long-standing complaint regarding old gear. What it does is simple: it allows players to take an old piece of armor and give it the stats of a current piece of armor.
According to Blizzard, “Visiting a Transmogrifier will present players with a new interface that will allow them to change the appearance of an item while retaining its original stats. This means that you can raid in your paladin tier 12 Immolation set, but look like you’re wearing Lightbringer, while priests can bring Benediction back — at least in spirit. Hunters can once again roam the jungles of Stranglethorn Vale in their tier 2 Dragonstalker set. You could even slip into the saucy tailored Black Mageweave set for that matter. You know, with the thigh highs, and the little gloves, and the cute little… ahem.”
This will be one of the more welcome features of the 4.3 patch of World of Warcraft.
