Transmog Legendaries

[Galbrei]

I think getting legendaries, even old ones, is already enough of a hassle to prevent excessive use of it for transmog. Furthermore, if lots of people start using them for that, I bet a good number of players that have legendary weapons would simply pick something else out of desire to look different.

I for one have leg daggers, but I'll be damned if I ever use those ugly fishes for transmog. I'd rather use my Wub's Cursed Hexblade that I've been saving for years now.

[Sicarius87]

I wish that they would add in replicas of the epic versions of the legendaries (like sleeper/dreamer) so you can transmog to those.

[Trubo]

I was with you there until you said Ravenholdt. That would just be terrible. But yeah, I don't think that idea would work well.

The gold idea however, would work. We won't see a million Thunderfurys right away.

Eh, the only gold solution I could see working is selling a right to transmog Legendary item via the BMAH.

[Komics]

thats a horrible idea. Legendaries are hard to get when they are new, you cant make someones effort pointless by letting people buy the items they worked hard to get. Its bad enough people can solo MC for 2 months to get HoR or TF, you want someone to be able to drop gold on it? Not very "legendary"

[Mukor]

Legendaries are too easy to farm, time consuming but still very easy. i vote no. don't wanna see every rogue with glaives, dont wanna see every pally with sulfuras etc. etc.

[Erolian]

Why not just make it where you can only transmog legendary weapons you obtained during the expansions they were released in.

[Elementalkin]

They should be moggable. It wouldn't have as big of an effect as some people think, as not everyone who has a legendary necessarily thinks it looks good, or looks good with their characters. Atiesh is probably a good example of an ugly staff, at least in my opinion. Failing that, I don't see how it's that different from say a heroic set of class armor being moggable.

Make them unattainable once the expansion they're from ends.
Make it obscenely expensive to do, possibly requiring a plethora of expansion-relevant materials.
Make it so that you can only transmog a legendary item onto one other item at a time, so items like Shadowmourne can't be dual-wielded.

There are a number of ways to make this work, and there's no good reason not to. Plenty of other very rare, iconic things have become more commonplace and they've been fine to let it happen. Just look at Warlock and Paladin mounts - how do they reconcile that with their current stance on this issue?

[Anklebiters]

how about a daily quest that has a 1% drop chance to give you a token to xmog a legendary or set which you can turn in at the npc that cost 25k, idk about anyone else. but with my luck that would take me a long time to get one since i have horrible rng

[kenn9530]

oranges are next to meaningless now anyway as they take very little effort to obtain, only investment is time so im sure blizz will allow this at some point.

[Zethras]

Why not just make it so people who got them when they were relevant be able to transmog them, i.e if you made your Sulfuras during vanilla, you can mog it, if you made it in TBC, tough shit.

That doesn't sound like too bad of an idea imo.

[Tragopan]

Legendaries should be transmogable (with their unique FX/on use abilities) without any additional trouble. It is still a lot of work to get any legendary, even if you out level the content by a lot. If people are putting that much work/time/effort into getting one they should be able to transmog it.

Then again I am firmly opposed to unique, hard to obtain e-peen symbols in a MMO for anything other than Titles. Some of these e-peen symbols are not appreciated by their owners. They didn't get them because they really liked the look, they only got them because it made them feel better than everyone else. That's not what transmoging is about. Let the people who like the looks/effects of legendaries have them without additional fuss.

There is no rep in Naxx.
There is no rep in sunwell.
There is no rep in Ulduar.
There is no rep in Dragon Soul.

So that rule of yours cant be universally apllied.

Well, it depends on how you think of it,
Naxx - Argent Dawn/Argent Crusade (It was well established, but I can see how some people might not see it)
Sunwell - Shattered Sun Offensive (Now come on, they're the only faction on that island)
Ulduar - Alliance Vanguard/ Horde Expedition (I find this debatable, but since Brann Bronzebeard leads the whole thing and is part of the Explorer's League, I'll have to go with this)
Dragon Soul - The Earthen Ring ( Very Debatable, but considering they're friends with Thrall, pretty much the hero of that raid other than the players, I'd say they're the best bet)
It's not too hard to do this...

Dragon soul = wyrmrest accord

[Frozenmerc]

Atiesh is probably a good example of an ugly staff, at least in my opinion.

With that staff, it's not the fact that it's legendary that makes it special, it's the fact that it's the 2nd most rare legendary behind the Black Resonating Crystal (3rd if Talisman of the Binding Shard is considered that legit.) Other than that, I think most people who have that staff would transmogrify it if they could.

Dragon soul = wyrmrest accord

That's not on par with the level, therefore a level 85 rep should be chosen, The Earthen Ring fits the best for that.

Btw is it possible to use DS legendary staff dragon spell even if you are not equipping the weapon?

[Cernunnos]

Why not just make it so people who got them when they were relevant be able to transmog them, i.e if you made your Sulfuras during vanilla, you can mog it, if you made it in TBC, tough shit.

Not sure how easy that is to test.

Let's say you got your thunderfury in vanilla, prior to AQ going live, and I got mine in TBC, prior to BT going live. When 3.0.2 hit, we both get the thunderfury FOS since we both have it, however both our achievements are dated 15th October 2008.

As far as the game is concerned we both had it prior to the date achievements were first added to the game. It doesn't actually display that you had had yours since before 3 January 2006 (day AQ went live) and I had mine since 22 May 2007 (day BT went live).

No achievements that I am aware of, even a FOS' are dated before the 15th of October 2008
I have low level dungeon achievements for dungeons that I had completed well before october 2008 being completed on the 15th. Ragefire Chasm for example, and many of my "reach level X" achievements are all dated on the 15th. Even though the date they were actually done, was well before that. I was level 70 when the pre wrath patch that added achievements went live, my reach level 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 all have the same date.

[Mechazod]

This was my idea that I posted in a similar thread that I would like to see:

What I think would be cool to have in the game if they don't allow us to actually transmogrify the weapons is a legendary quest chain that upon completion allows you to add one special effect to your current weapon based on the legendary weapon from past content that you own. For example:

-Thunderfury: adds a tornado visual effect when you hit enemies and maybe the electrical charge on your weapon when you swing it.

-Sulfuras: maybe have it engulf the enemy in flames when you hit them or put a flame enchant visual effect on your weapon.

-Atiesh: adds the raven summoning effect to your character and a Portal: Karazhan ability to your spell book.

-Warglaives (must own both): adds a special chance for your attacks to turn you into Illidan or the lock-illidan shadow form for a few moments.

-Thori'dal: adds a visual effect to your bullet/arrow shots, maybe like a beam of light trailing behind them.

-Val'anyr: creates some kind of healing visual on a target every time you heal them.

-Shadowmourne: some kind of undead/shadow effect from attacks, maybe a chance to turn into a shadowy form of the Lich King or DK Arthas.

-Dragonwrath: adds the ability: Transform: Tarecgosa's Visage to your spell book and maybe a weapon glow.

-Fangs of the Father: adds the slow fall shadow wing effect to your character in their spell book.

Actually I would in fact prefer those effects over the actual weapon visual, especially the ability to turn into Tarecgosa without having to constantly equip the weapon.

Don't know if your comment was with me or not but I'll clarify a bit. You still have to get the Legendary but can't unlock the transmog feature unless you buy it off the BMAH.

But yeah, I don't really like that solution much either.

Dragon Soul - The Earthen Ring ( Very Debatable, but considering they're friends with Thrall, pretty much the hero of that raid other than the players, I'd say they're the best bet)

The Earthen Ring has nothing to do with the Fangs of the Father quest chain. Wyrmrest Accord fits the location but other than the initial quest they don't have much involvement either, Ravenholdt is the only faction that makes sense but have fun grinding them.

Hopefully it will never be allowed, I don't want to see half the realm running around with Dragonwrath.

[Aspect of Death]

When i saw "mog announcment", all i could think was "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES glaives we will have fun again!"
Then they sai no legendarys... Then..... *sadface*
Then they said "maybe", and i became all "YEEEEEES"
Then they said you can change your weapns, 1h,OH etc, and even weapon type.. "YEEES"

Then they ruined my day again with "FU rogues, glaives have always been a rogue weapn, but you wont be able to use it, because you need daggers HAHAHAHAHA"
So i could not care less if they implent this. And F u all warriors and Dks, who will run around with MY glaives! ;(

On the reputation part, i dont really see the point with this, it takes 0 time to get exalted, and the 25k gold part, No! No more gold shit, because those of us that dont hang the AH doesnt have 1million gold. Its more than enough with BMAH
