What’s with these untuned Vile Fumigator’s Masks in the Heart Shaped Box?
These masks are not and have never been usable for transmog, and I just looted a mask from a box as a level 371 warlock, and the mask’s item level is only 100.
That’s cool and all, but I wouldn’t even be able to use it even if it were level 300+ because it’s not an azerite helm.
My issue here is that this is on the loot table at all while it is 100% useless to anyone who loots this in BFA, as there is no transmog to be earned from it or used for the holiday event, the item level didn’t even scale to a reasonable BFA level on a 120 character, and it fills an azerite spot otherwise.
I believe if we at the very least had this option for a transmog item, that would make it feel like it has any amount of value, as otherwise it is worth nothing.
They’re a relic of the pre-transmog days. All you can use it for IS transmog. It’s never scaled. Working as intended.
You can’t use them as transmog, is the issue.
Oh, right. Still, it’s never scaled. It was just a whacky cosmetic from before they got cosmetics into the game.
Ok, well my point is that it is not scaling, they haven’t unlocked it as transmog, it serves no single purpose anymore. What then, is the point of this item?
My post here is to get them to reconsider doing SOMETHING with this. I am upset that I can’t use it for anything, if it serves no purpose why does it exist still? That is one roll on my loot table where I might have otherwise gotten something useful, instead filled with this vendor trash.
its for rp. simple as that. there are plenty of players that are willing to equip the frying pan and rolling pin that you cant mog for rp purposes.

The Tremendous Tankard O’ Terror drops from Brewfest, scales with your level, and is transmoggable. Coren’s Bloodied Shanker, another one of the brewfest drops, scales with level, but is not transmoggable. The Miniature Winter Veil Tree dagger from the stolen present scales with item level, and is transmoggable.
I am upset that this is inconsistent. Why are some holiday items transmoggable and scale, and others do not? How is everyone here just cool with that? I started this post because I want to see this CHANGED and have a discussion about it, not just have people drop in and continue to agree with blizzard on everything because “that’s just how it is.”
Just because papa blizz made it that way doesn’t mean we have to sit back and just accept it as fact. If you really are perfectly fine with these items being completely inconsistent with scaling and transmog and don’t care at all about it changing, then why are you just ok with it? How is nobody else upset with this?
Otherwise, if you actually care about transmog or gear or fairness in the loot table for the heart shaped box, I welcome your voice to be added to this because I cannot be the only one who was sourly disappointed to have this vendor trash drop from this box instead of literally anything in the loot table that may have been worth something.

There is at least one valid bug in this: The Vile Fumigator’s Mask should have been converted into a cosmetic item. If you follow precedent too closely, it would have been converted into a holiday cosmetic, restricted to the period of the holiday, but that idea is silly at its core so I would be ok if that attribute were overlooked.

this is a bug forum, if you have a suggestion take it to the suggestions forum. you are not describing a bug.
I believe that them not changing it to a cosmetic item is a bug. Therefore, bug report.
