WoD crafted transmog going away?

Hello, can anyone confirm if we can still get craftable WoD appearances after pre-patch? I just saw a post on wowhead saying that the items needed to upgrade certain craftable weapons and armor can no longer be used, if this is the case, is there an alternative way to obtain these appearances in the future?

Hopefully Blizz adds it back or another way to obtain it :man_shrugging:

I can’t either :smiley: If you put ` around links then it lets them show up like it does in my post. A real link comes with a little preview of the page as well :frowning:

Why though?

Wowhead is a trusted source so you don’t need to do that.

Oversight, most likely. The appearances changed with the upgrade levels, but the upgrade levels are effectively being replaced with the “Relics of the Past” system.

Since the WoD gear is the only gear that does such a thing, I think nobody thought to hook the appearances to the different Relic levels, and the issue was apparently only noticed recently, so if it’s getting fixed, it probably won’t be for a few builds.

Either way, I recommend for anyone on the PTR/Beta to file suggestions to fix it. If we want to keep the appearances available, the best chance is to make sure Blizz is… very aware that it’s considered a problem.

Ah ok I didn’t know that. I knew I could just post Blizz links but I thought that was it.

It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if it was entirely intentional, given the changes they’ve made up until now to professions at low levels.

I posted a thread on this before. But yea. Basically the BS, LW and T upgrades for those proffs might be permanently unobtainable soon. So get to crafting!

This doesn’t actually make me want to hustle to get crafting in wod. It makes me want to quit the game.

YouTube videos are trusted links too, I believe.

Yes. Blizzard has yet to even tell us if it’s a bug or intentional, so best to go with Yes. Not that you have enough time to craft all the armor sets, level them to rank 3… and craft all the weapons as well, and then level them to rank 3.

Unless you can farm tens of thousands of Primal Spirits in a week or two.

Don’t forget that Inscription has two staves, a wand, and a fantastic off-hand book. Engineering has a gun to make as well. Then there’s all the weapons that Blacksmiths make.

If you’re missing those items at this point aren’t you just outta luck? You might be able to get some of them before prepatch but all of them?

Probably since the time required for the mats are huge. Forgot just how hard it was to make those upgrade thingies.

Yeah, i’m really worried about this for that very reason, i’m missing most appearances and i love yo collect transmog since i’m a roleplayer :slightly_frowning_face: .
I don’t think i can make all of them before the next patch

Whelp this blows big time.
