Not sure if this is a bug, or just poor memory, so I thought I would ask here instead of Report Bugs. On this Hunter, I can transmog my bow and daggers, no problem. If I put on the heirloom leather shoudlers and chest, the option to mog is blocked. If I put on the mail shoulders and chest, the block icon is removed, but when I click apply, nothing happens.
I’m assuming there is something going on with the whole Hunter leather/mail restrictions, and that might be causing an issue. Perhaps it’s the same with plate wearers?
can confirm for my lv 14 warrior who uses mail/plate heirlooms but cannot apply transmog skins on them. Works fine on the sword. Armor heirlooms work fine on cloth for my priest
I assume the issue lies in the heirlooms being mail now and turning plate at 40. Same goes for your leather/mail ones.
Or intended, as if you can transmog mail now, you would keep that mail when it turns to plate at 40 which is obviously not what the devs wanted in Cata. I know this is the same behavior as when transmog was first introduced, and I believe it stayed in place until Blizzard changed when warriors/hunters/paladins/shaman were able to learn their upgraded armor type (level 1 rather than level 40).
Level to 40 and then apply your transmog appearances of the proper armor type.
I’m pretty sure what you have to do to get around this problem is ding 40, get your new armor type specialization, and then start mogging. No, it’s not ideal, but that’s the only idea I have at the moment.
If this gets addressed or not, remains to be seen.
It’s not fail. . It’s time played bait. Tin foil time based on retail. Full loot access,solo you get it all.
It’s this way to stretch out replays for tmog hunters. In theory you could get an entire legacy raids mog selection from 1 plate user. In maybe 5 runs. You:d only miss the elune awful 1% drops maybe. They take time.
That is less Mau. Monthly account usage. As you’d be done in a month, everything.
Now you play less, if at all till next season of new content.
With this setup as a devoted mog hunter in retail once, every legacy raid is 4 runs at least. A week.
Leather, clothe, mail and plate. Class only? you tack on more runs.
Rng is sadistic. That mail I wanted for hunter would drop on the Paladin. Not the hunter. Over months of runs.
