One of the newest aspects of WoW that I really enjoy and very happy that they added to the game is that of Transmogrification. To breaks down what it is in the simplest manner of explanation is that a player can take certain gear such as weapons or armor and use that to change how ones weapon or armor looks, so that you could have say a certain weapon or armor set that you really enjoy and like the look of graphically to “wrap” over whatever your currently equipped weapon or armor is worn. Hence, rather than bring out your favorite sword that looks awesome but unfortunately the “stats” are no longer up to par for current content only for say role playing, you can now have your current weapon take on the look of that sword without losing the current stats that it inherently has.
What this allows is for a wide array of players to mix and match a wide range of gear, be it weapons and armor sets, shield, staffs, ect. There are quite a lot of posts on WoW forums (official and unofficial) where players are sharing what their ‘Transmog” look is for their character. I added a good site I came across that deals with different armor sets and gear for all classes within the Links section, so check out Icy Veins.
Here are two pics of Kernhoofs Transmog set…Enjoy!
