Warband transmog slots

If you buy 10 or 20 slots they should be warband wide like the warband bank slots. No one is trying to drop 800k gold per char for all their slots, most won’t even use all 20 but the fact that they aren’t warbound when you distinctly pushed for warbands and alts as core part of the gameplay seems tone-deaf to your upkeep of evergreen content.

EDIT: Thank you Kaivax for the update, Big Win for transmog/warband systems. Now let’s keep walking that gold cost down! :blush:

This will be the case in Midnight. It’s just taking a few more weeks to implement that function into the Beta.

In a future build of the Midnight Beta, the outfit slot unlocks will become Warband-wide. And costs to unlock these spots will not go up.

As always, we’ll continue to pay very close attention to feedback and tune costs throughout the Beta.

Thank you!

Will not go up from what? 800k? Or do you mean 100g per slot. Thanks for all the work.

I’m assuming they mean 800k total for 20 warbound outfit slots, and that the prices aren’t going up from what is there when they go warbound.

It’s still a notable amount of gold, but it’s a lot better. 800k once rather than per character is huge.

Ah, thank you Kaivax for letting us know. I really wish this had been known before all the hubbub.

Look, I get that Blizzard is trying to rein back the gold inflation, but this is not the way to do it.

I can see each configuration being 500 gold to open a slot. Maybe. But you don’t pay to summon a pet, why are we paying to change our clothes?

If you want to fix the gold issue, there are other ways to do it. But honestly, if you’re re-engineering the game, just add platinum to the upper end. And now we’re back to more reasonable numbers because something that is 5,000 gold maybe is 5 platinum.

But price gouging quality of life features is not the way to do it.

Good news, Kaivax! Please consider reducing the costs to current or at least lower levels. What looks good on my Blood Elf does not look good on my Kul Tiran.

The outfit slots are going to be warbound, now what the slots contain.

Translation: “We got too much blowback from wanting to do it our way (non Warbound slots), so we changed course so we wouldn’t have to hear it.”

Or, hear me out now, “its taking a few more weeks to implement”.

Good. Now considering how outrageous the cost is to unlock slots fix the cost to add a mog to the slots. The massive gold increase to apply mogs is pretty insane.

This is great news thank you. We just need the cost to transmog individual gear to drop. Right now it’s so high. It’s something like 5700kg for a full set at lvl 90. I get that we save gold when switching outfit slots. But as someone who likes to RP I like to just change a helm option often. Say just on or off, play with a hood options etc. Right now on live that only costs like 70g each time I do it. In beta it’s something like 430g. And if I want to make a whole different outfit slot say “Outfit 1 w/ hood” and “Outfit 1 w/o hood” I’m looking at an over 11kg investment. And that’s assuming I’m just using the 2 free outfit slots. So please drop those to more reasonable prices. The RP’ers will thank you!! Its a great system and we want to enjoy it!

now reduce the cost to make sets thanks

800 gold for an illusion, 1000+ for a weapon, and dont get me started on two weapon slots.

Here’s an idea… Since transmogs are free in remixes like MoP Remix and Legion Remix, why not just make the whole transmog system free?

good news, now please lower the cost to actually create/alter an outfit. Doing a single weapon in a single outfit should not cost more than an entire set on live, and god forbid you want to use that weapon look in multiple outfits.

Considering they are expecting us to spend 800,000 gold to unlock slots transmog should go the way of the barber shop and be free to apply and change mogs to the slots. 800,000 gold will offset a couple years worth of transmog fees already.

I still think 800k is a bit steep, but making it warbound alleviates my primary concern with the system.

This does not address the 5x cost increase to save to that warbound slot, or the 5x cost of changing any pieces within it.

Awesome!
Now reduce the price of the slots and the cost to replace an outfit.
4k-6k per outfit change and 800k for all slots is INSANE.
We weren’t all abusing table missions for Gold in the WoD/Legion/BFA era. We do not all have 5 characters at gold cap making this cost a drop in an ocean.
I struggle to have more than 100k gold at any given time let alone trying to build up 800k for all those slots.

And before anyone gets any ideas I am a Roleplayer I will be wanting and needing all 20 of those slots. I am not the average player who will only need around 5-10 on each character. I’ve had too many rude people telling me I don’t need all 20 slots like they sit looking over my shoulder knowing how I play the game.

That cost needs to go. 800,000 gold for slots, if we assume on live right now ~1,000 gold for a full outfit mog, that is 800 transmogs worth of gold. Even if you did a full outfit change once a week that is like 15 years worth of transmog fees. :rofl: :clown_face: :globe_showing_americas:
