Base cloak is 470 and caps out at 500 after being fully upgraded.
If you mean the Pandaria cloaks, Iâm pretty sure theyâve been transmoggable for a long time. Nobody really cared though, because the transmog versions didnât make the wings appear.

The reason why they donât modify the gear is because we wonât have azerite in shadowlands. Changing the details of legacy gear from timewalking events/anniversaries are a waste of time. Just keep the items as they were.
No I was wondering if these upcoming ones will be unlocked for transmog from the start. I didnât know the Pandaria cloaks were moggable (I skipped MoP) so that probably answers my question.
I know, but the Legiondaries didnât have unique appearances.
I just want the effect to be a separate transmog option, like an enchant for cloaks. All my cloaks are transmogged to Hidden because I cannot stand the appearances.
Personally, I would just create a file to exclude the non-azerite gear that drops for those slots, so you can just readd it when itâs relevant. Sure it makes about 2 minutes of extra work, but it would improve the content so much more.
If I recall, a while ago, there were no cloaks in the new raidâŚ
Wasnât the anniversary event also doable below 110?
Azerite wouldnât work then.
Just wanted to reinforce what he said.
Existing cloaks will still drop (like quests, Eternal Palace, catch-up systems, etc.), but there are no cloaks from Nyâalotha, and the weekly chests (M+ and PvP) were adjusted so they donât drop cloaks either.

Does âWeekly Chestsâ include end of run M+ and end of game PVP rewards?

I am absolutely, without a doubt surprised.
There were a few PTR tests mentioned above where people opened up 100s of caches with no cloaks and the raid has no cloaks. Normally Iâd agree with you and be surprised, but it seems like we skated by this time.
Ultimately the question is why wasnât the system updated early ahead of Shadowlands since Titanforging was essentially removed? Raid gear, in many situations for many classes/specs, do not drop BiS statâd gear or even second best statâd gear. With no Titanforging weâre no longer able to use M+ as a semi-reliable(letâs be honest Titanforging wasnât great either but at least it was a suitable way to fix raid gear problems) way to alleviate needing certain stats for breakpoints. So now weâre left praying for our weekly chest to drop us exactly what we need, some people will get lucky, most people will not and will end up several weeks in a row getting the same slot of armor over and over every week.
The instanced lfr raid bosses no, the old vanilla bosses, yes.
But why do that, I want the mog from said bosses. The legacy gear works that way because it is the simplest solution to make it be expansion-agnostic. Itâs why they didnât add legion legendary chances to timewalking bosses even though said bosses dropped gear usable for low geared characters in legion.
I believe a small % of Legiondaries did have âuniqueâ appearances.
That is what the corrupted stat is for. However unlike Titanforging, it is a risk / reward system and not a straight up âYou won the lottery, have fun!â

The corruption stat does nothing to alleviate the issue as nearly no class goes for the % increases to secondary corruption affixes. Not to mention getting an ever increasing deterrent to equip multiple pieces of Corruption gear.
Iâll just throw a couple examples your way. There isnât a single Cloth piece in Nyâalotha with Haste/Vers, which is the optimal priority for Fire Mage. Thereâs also only 1 Cloth piece with High Haste/Low other which effects almost every cloth user in a negative way. These are not the only situations either.
Corruption does not solve terrible itemization, it just makes you further hate the RNG that the game throws at you especially when youâll probably end up with Leech % Corruption BS.
