Blizzard Halves WoW Transmog Outfit Fees, Fast-Tracks One Free Change Per Character

Players revolted over patch 12.0.0’s outfit-slot rollout that imposed steep upfront costs.

Overview

  • Blizzard says outfit creation prices will drop by 50% to align more closely with pre-update costs, according to a post by community manager Linxy.
  • The price cut is expected within about a day, and the team is attempting a hotfix to grant each character one free transmog before patch 12.0.1.
  • Previously, Blizzard had promised the free application in 12.0.1 ahead of the March 2 Midnight expansion, so the hotfix would deliver it sooner.
  • The new system replaced per-piece fees with paid outfit slots and one-time save charges, with reports of full outfits costing over 2,000 gold and slot prices escalating up to 10,000 gold.
  • Blizzard also acknowledged the first-time cost as an oversight and says it is evaluating broader application of Legion Artifact appearances in the next update.
