    TWW pre patch not giving retroactive transmog credit from quests when it did on PTR

    Anyone else finding that with the prepatch they aren't getting retroactive credit for weapons and armor for quests they completed before the patch?

    On PTR you got credit for weapons and armor rewards from quests even if you couldn't use those items. The changes to transmog rewards in TWW gives you all items associated with the quest, even items you can't use/equip/not for your class

    On TWW PTR same as when the collections tab went live going in to legion, you got retroactive credit. Having completed a quest on a warrior under the new rules on PTR would give you credit for leather armor, mail armor and even wands (which warriors can't even equip), but it seems when the patch went live you aren't getting credit for quests you have completed.

    Unless something gets fixed the only solution is to repeat completing loremaster across several characters (which you had to do prior to TWW PTR), to earn the rewards the warband system should be giving you and did on PTR.

    Sorry if it's not explained the best.

    I was excited for this aspect of the new transmog rules, especially because I completed Loremaster before Cataclysm, so I was expecting to unlock a bunch of transmog on login.

    Unfortunately the way it worked on the beta is probably also why it didn't ship that way. I imagine the servers would've been under massive strain if everyone was unlocking a bunch of transmog on character login.

    I hope they've merely delayed the rollout of retroactive unlock in order to avoid a complete server meltdown on patchday.

    Hopefully it'll arrive either with TWW or in one of the earlier patches, maybe 2-3 months into the expansion after player numbers have dwindled a bit.

    Maybe, possible they are trying to avoid what happened with the Legion pre patch at the end of WOD, because that is exactly what happened.
    You logged in and got retroactive credit for every quest you did (though it only gave you credit for items you could actually equip/use), and had a mass of chat log spam as all the item transmog unlocked, for every character you logged on to.

    I made a new dwarf character to collect some transmog from that questing area while leveling. I noticed that when I complete a quest I only get the items that my character can wear in my transmog collection. Since my dwarf is a hunter I only got the mail items unlocked.

    When I did some research on how warband transmog works they state that when questing in The War Within you will unlock every transmog from the quest regardless if you can wear it. Do they literally mean TWW quests and all the retro content still has to be done on multiple characters that can wear specific armour types? That would be disappointing. I made an ingame bug report of it as well hoping that it is just a mistake.
