Step 1: kill nilatak

Step 2: got see Anya which will grant you a free personalization

Step3: put the item you want changed on the left

Step 4: put the item you want the left items to look like on the right

Step5: if out of free personalization put a standard of heroes in the bottom slot

Step 6: click personalize and claim your item

Disclaimer: Have to mention beforehand

  • completing the quest grant you 1 for free, so 3 free shots like Akara’s respec
  • This is only a visual transmutation, not stats is changed to the item in the process
  • Theres also a toggle created to switch Alt art on and Off for people who wants to know what other wear during Pvp (ideally inspect function)
  • there is also a warning message when trading a personalized item
  • The used item is gone… sacrificed in the process, cant get it back
  • this would have for effect to valourize items that look great/special but are bad, ie: Girswold edge or BoneSnap

why standard of heroes? First because it has no value and also Because Standard means “Banner, a visual representation of what you represent” and Heroes, therefor Standard of Heroes means " The visual representation of heores" and Anya Kinda thinks you are a heroe https://imgur.com/VW48DLW

I hate the term Transmog, it doesn’t belong in Diablo franchise, even less in D2, by definition transmog is to change an appearance to look grotestque and funny, that’s not what we would aim in Diablo 2, we want to look good, heroic and intimidating. I’d called it personalized gear

i hate transmog label as well. it was just taken from other games because it’s a recognizable videogame term. there’s enough creativity available in the diablo 2 world to give it a unique term. even private mods call changes like “corrupted” or whatever. you could add an interesting twist to skins by using the whole angel/demon theme in the game but nahhh… popular MMO[RPG]S use transmog so the free marketing just exists already, why do effort when everything has already been created for you?

I like it, but I dont like the name on that changed item.

i like it more than just personalized character names feature. personalized character names dropped the value of an item by like 25% unless you parked a super cool name like “God” – God’s Enigma Archon Plate or if you were some legend on D2JSP who was the best dueler in the year 2001

why?

My first time proposing this there was no mention of the Item’s art, but i thought it would be usefull to mention it so people would know what it is

i agree that side by side it may be long, maybe bellow the base item

Quest is comical, Wonder who came out with this idea.

This is an excellent idea. Honestly, if I could make a Shako look like a bone helm or something I’d be all for it

Not to forget all the insanely cool looking items that are trash

Headhunter looks good

Griswold edge is sweet

The patriarch is massive

Bonesnap is insane

Etc
