This allows players to customize their gear appearance without affecting its underlying strength or rarity.

• Part of the rewards from Public Events or special occasions, such as festivals or birthdays
What can I do with Transmog stones?
With Transmog stones in hand, players can change the visual appearance of their existing equipment. This includes helmets, chests, gauntlets, and boots. Note that the rarity of an item remains unchanged; players can only change the cosmetics.

Faq and Tips
Why do I need Transmog stones?
Since Transmog stones bridge the gap between an item’s rarity and appearance, they allow players to match their gear appearance to specific playstyles or events while maintaining the underlying item statistics.
Can I share Transmog stones or items?
Unfortunately, Transmog stones do not have a share mechanic. Each player must cultivate their own collection. While items can be traded on the market, it’s essential to understand the risk involved.
Are some Transmog stones better than others?
Each item has its unique Transmog stone, but within the same rarity tier. For example, all five-star items have five different Transmog stone recipes. The rarity of these stones is determined by factors such as the source acquired, the item rarity being transmogrified to, and the time/effort invested in crafting an item.
