Can someone define the rules for adding gear to wardrobe.

[Deleted]

If I remember correctly, a blue poster stated that gear pieces would be added to the wardrobe if the character who picked up an item could actually wear it, and it was soulbound to you. So, I had the impression that, for example, a warrior could blast through Ulduar, grab some cloth gear on his travels and because he can physically wear them, and are soulbound they should be added to the wardrobe. I spent a week going through old raids keeping every bit of gear that my characters could actually equip and was soulbound to them and kept them in my bank and bags for when the patch hit. I only just noticed that the gear that isnt for my character isn't being added. For example, a leather chestpeice and leather boots that I got while on my shaman haven't been added.

Basically, is this right? if so, it just seems like wasted potential. I originally got excited about the wardrobe because I was sick of running an old raid and getting the bits of gear I wanted but on the wrong characters.

Tier sets make sense, running MC on a warrior grabbing all the T1 sets would be awesome but not being able to grab leather gear while on a plate or mail wearing character seems wasted imo

Makes me a sad panda

It has to be the correct armor type for your class, soul-bound, and any timers for selling back to vendors must be expired.

No. You can only learn your appropriate gear type. Warriors = plate only for wardrobe adding, even though they can actually wear cloth. Weapons are pretty much fair game from what I've found. If you can equip a weapon it gets added.

so its basically an advanced void storage where you don't need to worry about space? ah well. at least i can make my 3 plate wearers all look identical

[pmkaboo]

you can only add plate on war, dk and pally
you can only add mail on shamans and hunters
leather on druids, rogues and monks
cloth on priests, locks and mages

weapons can be added by any class that can use them (not exactly sure about spellpower daggers on rogues or spellpower axes/maces on warriors/dks though)

You can only add the armor your class is meant to use. (Warr=Plate, etc).
You can only add the weapons you can equip.
You have to equip it for it to unlock (soulbound).
You have to wait until the 'Sell back' timer is gone, or else the item will remove itself.
You can only add Greens, Blues and Purple.
Class restrictions persist on the wardrobe items too.

Think that is all.

It is because of all the inane crap you have to wag around in Legion. It is worse than ever on Beta. Why they keep trying to clog up everyones' bags and banks with BS, I will never understand.

I'm not sure, I deleted my dark shaman set on my shaman yesterday and lost the ability to transmog to it.

This is pretty much all of the rules.

One thing Id like to add is challenge modes youve had on one paladin can be worn on an alt paladin.

[Serissa]

Class restrictions persist on the wardrobe items too.

Level restrictions persists also. You can't transmog something on your alt untill you reach level required for equipping original item. Quest rewards without level requirement are exception, you can transmog these even on level 1 alt.

Weapon stats don't matter, as long as you can equip it, you're good.

As a note, this does mean Hunters can still collect most melee weapons and Warriors and Rogues can still collect ranged weapons even though they're no longer useful to those classes.

You have race/faction restrictions also. Say the racial gear from ToC can't be xmoged by the opposite faction.

I bought gear off the TW vendors for sake of adding them to the wardrobe. Deleted it after it was added... later logging onto another class that can wear the same armor type skipping over the TW gear saying I didn't have them in the wardrobe... :/

Ah, true. Forgot about that ^^

did you wait for the 3 hours for it to be non refundable?

[Alvito]

Oddly the vanilla pvp gear seems to be working for some of my toons not all. So it is either not supposed to transfer over or is bugged and not working fully.

[Netherspark]

Can you equip it?
Is it your main armour type?

If the answer is 'yes' to both, then you can add it to the wardrobe. If no to either, then you can't.

That's because when you sold it back it took away the transmog. As others have said, if it has the option to sell it back for a refund, it takes the transmog with it. So you can't get a whole bunch of transmog for one items worth.

Destroyed, not sold back.

Works for none of mine, think it still needs the old req for it
