Void Storage and Transmogrifier - Patch 4.3 Teasing?
A teaser on the official Warcraft Facebook Page hints at two new types of NPCs coming in a future patch, most likely Patch 4.3: the Transmogrifier and Void Storage NPCs.

"Transmogrifier" seems to hint at a way to change the appearance of something, the first thing coming to my mind is either a way to change the look of your items (it was experimented in the past with things such as Darkspear Overcloak but dropped later). I guess it could also be a way to change facial/body features on characters.

The "Void Storage" is probably ... well, another kind of storage? Or a high-tech magic trash can.

    If its truly a way to customize one's looks, it will probably be limited to class specific gear (plate for plate classes etc etc) and you will most likely need to have the item you want it to look like in your possession as well (no windfuries without actually having it in the first place for example).

    I'd love it- and no, I don't' think people would just reskin T2/3/6. I've always liked to think of my characters as very down-to-earth. She'd wear very basic gear - I'd love it if I could use a white or even gray armor setup, reconfigured.This would add TONS of play to my game - collecting old unique pieces of armor, remaking gear to look nice.Weapons are also one thing where this would be big. As a Shaman, I'd like a Shaman-ish weapon. Gatecrasher, for as cool as it is, doesn't scream "Shaman" at me. Something like the Furblog Medicine Totem, or a Scalping Tomahawk, would rock. this would let me have both the great stats I've earned, and the cool look I'd like.It would be like the AH: a game within the game for me.THe only concern would be storage. Of course, that wouldn't be so bad, eh Mr. Void Banker guy?

    I just asumed Hashom > Hash 'em > Rehash them.

    As in, take old items and make them useful, probably by giving the stats of one to the other.

    IF... the transmogrifier let you change the looks of your armor (which i dont think) other then just a diff colour, then JUDGEMENT SET (pala T2) ftw!!!

    Here's a theory that will probably be considered unacceptable by the majority of posters! --

    Is it maybe possible that <Void Storage> and <Transmogrifier> are just flavor text for existing NPC functions, just gussied up for some future location with Ethereal NPC's?

    The fact that one of the NPC's is an <Arcane Reforger> makes me think that is in fact a distinct possibility.

    Hashom is very obviously a reference to the Banu Hashim clan, which is the Quraysh tribe that Muhammad belonged to. Every single Ethereal NPC in existence has a name that is either an Arab Muslim name, or sounds like it plausibly could be one.

    I think it might be possible that "Void Storage" could be Tabard storage (as they've been promising for awhile), and the Transmogrifier will change your tabard to look like any tabard you have in storage.

    Consider my mind blown. This solidifies it for me. Going to start collecting awesome old gear right now. And no, this isn't sarcasm!

    Cheers for the info.

    I hope the void storage npc will be finally the always desired wardrobe npc for people that has complete class sets. I still has half of my bank on my main full with class set items from tier 0 to 12, this would be a great solution.
