The appearance of an item will be changed while retaining its original stats. This is not permanent and can be reversed at any time--like socketing an item.

Armor must be transmogged to armor of the same type. So Seidenes Gewand des Rivalen could be transmogged to Robe des Glaubens, but not Brustplatte der Knochensense.

There are four Cosmetic items added in MoP that can be transmogged onto any armor type: Gaunahs authentische Trollschuhe for invisible shoes and Juwel des Feuerfürsten, Krone des ewigen Winters, and Kapuze der gierigen Dunkelheit from the Blizzard Store.

For the most part, only items that have stats can be used for transmog. If an item cannot be transmogged, it will be marked as such in Wowhead's Quick Facts, plus we have a "Transmogrifiable" filter.

Legendaries, epics used to craft legendaries like Sulfuronhammer, and some items with absurd appearances like Bratpfanne can't be transmogged.

Weapons can be transmogged to weapons that have similar animations, not just weapons of the same type. 1H axes, maces, and swords share animations, as do 2H axes, maces, and swords and polearms/staves.

Your class must be able to equip the armor and weapons in order to transmog it--Druids cannot transmog Blutfangbrustharnisch even if it is in their bags, for example.

To transmog an item, head over to Transmogrifiers found in Stormwind, Orgrimmar, and Vale of Eternal Blossoms. A UI will appear that previews your transmogged items and lets you select appearances of items that are in your bags, void storage, and bank at once.

At BlizzCon it was announced that in Warlords of Draenor, transmog improvements may be coming that allow players to retain the look of an item without keeping it in their bags, similar to Transmogrification in Reaper of Souls. No further details have been confirmed though.

Transmog Set DatabaseTransmog Set Database

Since transmog is all about visuals, this database is browsable with image thumbnails of each set in addition to the traditional text view. Mousing over each image brings up a complete image of the set.

You can browse sets by class with our filters. These filters include PvE and PvP tier items as well as BoE, dungeon, quest, and crafted sets: Death Knight, Druid, Hunter, Mage, Monk, Paladin, Priest, Rogue, Shaman, Warlock, Warrior.

Some sets have "Recolor" or "Lookalike" after their name. A Recolor set shows that a set is identical to other sets with the same name, but a different tint. For example, LFR and Heroic variations of a Normal set are marked as Recolors.

Lookalike refers to an identical version of a PvE or PvP tier set that can be acquired without any class specific gear. If you compare this T10 transmog set to the lookalike, you'll notice the first includes Priest tier gear like Gugel des purpurroten Akolythen while the second set excludes Priest-only gear.

Classic World Set covers BoE and crafted items from vanilla and TBC.

Dungeon Sets cover all gear associated with 5-player dungeons, and can be filtered further, including Challenge Mode and Troll Dungeon appearances.

Events currently include the Blessed Undead sets from the Naxxramas Invasions.

PvP Sets cover all armor associated with PvP and can be filtered further by PvP Season as well as additional sets like replica Field Marshal/High Warlord gear. Putting together a PvP set can be confusing as there are many items with the same name but slightly different coloration.

Raid Sets cover all gear primarily associated with raids, even if some items now have multiple sources. These sets can be filtered further by raid tier, and also include non-tier sets like frost and fire resistance and nonset pieces from Naxxramas.

Questing Sets cover quest sets split up by 1-70, 70-80, 80-85, and 90.

Shadowcraft ArmorTransmog Tools

You can create and save your own custom transmog sets with the Profiler. Simply to go http://www.cuckhead.com/list and choose the Custom List option to the right to get started. From there, add an Equipment Set tab and continue adding armor you like normally. Change the race and gender of your character by clicking the lock to allow further customizations. Profiles automatically save when logged in, and last for 48 hours when not.

If you want to transmog a character that looks identical to your in-game appearance, you can import your character via Battle.net (the left option on http://www.cuckhead.com/list) and then click the blue Battle.net logo at the top/center which brings up an option to switch the Profile to custom.

The "Filter This Set" option on a Transmog Set page lets you view all of the potential sources for set pieces--useful when a set has many different options like Darkmantle Armor. Clicking on "Filter This Set" takes you to this page where you can further refine your search using Wowhead's powerful set of filters.

When using item filters, armor results have a normal data display as well as a Gallery display. Here's an example for Cloth Chests. Clicking on the image pops up a 3D model.

All items have a "Same Model As" tab. This tab shows items that look identical, as well as items that have the same pattern but come in a different color. This tab also displays image thumbnails so you can easily scan it!
