[00:00] if you're like me you're constantly

[00:02] looking for ways to have more fun in W

[00:05] I'm not talking about questing I'm not

[00:07] talking about raing and I'm not talking

[00:09] about PVP nope I'm talking about making

[00:12] your character look hot I'm talking

[00:14] about making your character look badass

[00:17] and unique so in today's video I'm going

[00:21] to show you how to make your character

[00:23] stand out that's right this video is

[00:26] about collecting and using in-game

[00:28] cosmetic items also known as transor

[00:30] items so welcome to transor for dummies

[00:34] basically transmorphic allows you to

[00:36] change the appearance of your character

[00:39] armor to any other piece you've

[00:41] collected in the past that your

[00:44] character is eligible to wear that means

[00:47] right now you can collect anything your

[00:48] character class can equi and make it a

[00:51] skin the rules will be changing in

[00:53] upcoming expansion blizzard announced

[00:56] that in the war within all players will

[00:58] be able to learn Trend more Mark of any

[01:00] gear type they collect even if there

[01:02] something that their class can't equip

[01:04] so right now in the current expansion

[01:08] dragonflight cloth wearers for instance

[01:10] can't transor male gear and me as a male

[01:15] wearer can't transmorg plate because my

[01:18] character class cannot wear plate but

[01:21] that's going to change soon I can't wait

[01:22] for that anyway Let's Get Back to Basics

[01:25] you can check what skins you have

[01:27] available through the Wardrobe tab in

[01:29] the collection panel you can do this by

[01:31] using shift

[01:33] p or by clicking this button you can

[01:37] filter your appearances that you have or

[01:40] haven't collected by using this button

[01:42] you'll see here collected not collected

[01:44] the tool tip will also tell you which

[01:47] items share appearances and where you

[01:50] can get them from for the trans Mark

[01:52] that you haven't collected many of the

[01:54] items are part of sets you can check out

[01:56] set possibilities by clicking this tab

[01:59] all the set sets that are highlighted

[02:00] yellow are the ones that you've

[02:02] completely

[02:03] collected the ones that are highlighted

[02:05] green you've only gotten pieces of that

[02:08] collection one minimum for it to be

[02:10] green those that are highlighted gray

[02:12] you haven't collected any of the pieces

[02:14] yet one thing that's really really cool

[02:16] is that it will show you exactly where

[02:19] to get each piece to complete your set

[02:22] it's important to remember though that

[02:24] if it's an item coming from a raid like

[02:26] this raids have different difficulties

[02:28] so raid finder normal heroic and Mythic

[02:31] and each difficulty has a different skin

[02:36] different set different coloring the

[02:38] same applies to PVP gear the sets will

[02:41] be different based on ranking so as you

[02:43] can see this tab is super helpful to see

[02:46] all the

[02:47] possibilities it's great for looking up

[02:49] specific items or sets you want to

[02:51] really stand out though you need to

[02:53] picture what you want your character to

[02:55] look like then decide what items you

[02:57] should try to collect now that we've

[02:59] talked about what trans Mark is it's

[03:01] time to learn how to collect that

[03:03] gear let's hop back over to the items

[03:07] tab here you can see if you click

[03:10] filters and go to sources there are six

[03:13] different ways to Source your Trends

[03:15] more gear these sources include a mix of

[03:19] buyon equipped and buy on pickup items

[03:22] so you can get them from boss drops

[03:24] quests vendor World drops achievements

[03:27] or your professions you can collect

[03:29] items from the auction house or from

[03:33] somebody crafting them for you to

[03:36] collect appearances of any bind and

[03:38] equip item you need to make sure that

[03:42] you make it Soul bound so we're going to

[03:45] use this one for example this is still

[03:47] bind on

[03:48] equipped you click on it

[03:53] equipping and once you've equipped it it

[03:56] will be added to your skins don't forget

[04:00] to put back on the original item that

[04:03] you had

[04:04] on because currently I have on the

[04:07] shoulders that I just equipped but I

[04:09] don't want that I want it to go back to

[04:11] the one that I had and then you can

[04:13] safely sell this item and then it's no

[04:16] longer in your inventory but it's in

[04:20] your

[04:22] transorg wardrobe so if I go to

[04:25] shoulders and I look for that

[04:28] piece

[04:32] you'll see it's here and I've collected

[04:35] it as a new player you won't have as

[04:37] many cosmetic items in your collection

[04:39] like I do you'll be able to farm all of

[04:41] these over time start farming items in

[04:44] Old content like raids and dungeons that

[04:47] are easy for you to solo so pay

[04:50] attention to your current character

[04:52] level to understand

[04:54] exactly which raids or dungeons you can

[04:58] go into by yourself

[05:00] get yourself an add-on like saved

[05:02] instances to track your raid lockouts so

[05:04] as you can see here I've already done

[05:06] bared and hold and Bastion of the

[05:08] Twilight and if you look at the bottom

[05:10] of my screen you'll see that it will

[05:12] tell me that I've defeated all of the

[05:14] bosses and I will not be able to

[05:17] complete that instance again for the

[05:19] next 13 hours and 24

[05:21] minutes raids reset weekly and dungeons

[05:25] I think that you can go into a dungeon

[05:28] up to 10 times per hour before you get

[05:31] locked out so every rate here has class

[05:34] specific armor and the sets all match so

[05:37] as you can see for for my class this

[05:40] entire set for the Mythic Eternal

[05:44] creators

[05:46] chains matches nicely and if I were to

[05:49] look at heroics also matches very nicely

[05:52] run the old content once per week till

[05:55] you've collected the set that you want

[05:58] and that's the cheapest way to get your

[05:59] trans Mor don't forget that each raid

[06:02] Difficulty can only be done once per

[06:05] week on that character so if you choose

[06:07] to do heroic that's it for the week you

[06:09] have to wait for another week to try a

[06:10] different level a great way to speed up

[06:13] the process is if the raid is available

[06:15] in 25 Men set it at that difficulty

[06:18] because then there's going to be more

[06:19] Loot drop because it's intended for more

[06:21] people if raids and dungeons aren't

[06:24] enough for you you can go to the auction

[06:26] house or vendors to Source your Trends

[06:29] more gear

[06:31] the auction house requires you to spend

[06:32] your

[06:34] gold and the

[06:36] vendors like Time Walk vendors may

[06:39] require specific currency for you to be

[06:42] able to access the items another way to

[06:45] Source your trans Mark is by visiting

[06:47] your local Trading Post I'm already near

[06:49] the Trading Post here in

[06:51] Stormwind and you talk to T C braid for

[06:55] the

[06:56] alliance and tell her I'd like to see

[06:58] what's available for this month and you

[07:00] will see that in order for you to

[07:03] purchase the item from The Trading Post

[07:04] you require Traders tenders check the

[07:07] playlist in the cards above to see what

[07:09] has been on the Trading Post in the past

[07:11] months even though certain items may not

[07:15] be currently available they may return

[07:17] to the trading post as you can see here

[07:20] below they have returning

[07:24] items that you can try to get with

[07:28] attenders

[07:32] you earn tenders

[07:34] monthly by completing various in-game um

[07:39] requirements such as completing 25

[07:41] quests or raids so doing your trans morg

[07:46] run by killing 25 uh dungeon

[07:51] bosses you would be able to earn 100

[07:53] tenders remember to save all the

[07:56] duplicate items to help offset your

[07:58] costs or to just earn some gold

[08:01] duplicate bind on equip items are great

[08:03] for selling on the auction house even

[08:05] the bind on pickup items are not too

[08:07] shabby either you can vendor those for a

[08:10] steady income of gold thanks for
