Diablo 4 transmog lets you defeat foes in style. This feature allows you to change the appearance of your armor and weapons while maintaining their statistics and abilities. Here’s a brief guide on how to use this feature.
How to unlock transmog in Diablo 4 and get more looks
Unlocking the transmog feature in Diablo 4 requires you to progress through the game until you complete the Prologue and reach the first hub area, Kyovashad. Before you can transmog your armor and weapons, you need to unlock new patterns for them. To do this, you’ll need to salvage items. To do so, look for the Blacksmith, who can be located using the anvil icon on the minimap.
The process of salvaging breaking down armor and weapons for their materials. Additionally, gear marked as “Unlocks new look on salvage” in your inventory (predictably) unlocks new looks for you to choose from when transmogging. You can acquire the appearance of most gear by salvaging it, even Legendary tier items. Helpfully, the game tells you which gear will reward a new look by marking it with a pickaxe icon on the salvage screen. Once an item is salvaged, no further purchase or action is necessary. Its appearance is immediately available for transmog.
To use transmog feature in Diablo 4, locate the wardrobe in the Kyovashad Inn, signified by a trunk icon on the map. In the transmog menu, you have two primary options: Variants and Pigments. Variants let you select the specific style you want to apply, while Pigments control the color palette. The elements of your armor that can be transmogrified are the helmet, chest, gloves, pants, and boots. Additionally, weapons can be transmogged, but only within their own class. So, no turning swords into scythes.
If you want to reverse your customization at any time, you can right-click the item in your inventory and select “Hide Transmog.”” You can also save your favorite looks to use later in ensemble slots within the wardrobe. These are limited in number, but you can unlock more slots by spending in-game gold.
Overall, the transmog system in Diablo 4 allows for character customization without sacrificing gameplay efficiency. As you explore the game, remember to salvage items and experiment with different looks to create your unique warrior aesthetic.
