Completing quests in The War Within will award transmog for all of its rewards regardless of weapon or armor type, and is intended to be retroactive, so players shouldnât have to redo old quest content they completed in previous expansions. Any items in your characters bank or inventory which is not already part of their transmog collection should also be converted, though previously looted and discarded non-quest items wonât be retroactive.
However when this was questioned in CS it didnât seem certain this was an intended system:-
Iâm hoping itâs just a mix up and we will still be getting the feature. This was a really awesome feature for collectors. The changes weâve had with prepatch have been really good so far.
Maybe it wasnât ready for pre-patch and is being held back for launch? Or maybe theyâve had a change of heart?
EDIT:-
This has now been resolved, please see the blue post
Be nice if they make Kyrianâs Acended arena unlock ALL cloaks after doing the final challenge⊠I damn well ainât gonna do it 3 more times on other armor type classes.
I donât know, Iâm not sold on this. The fantasy doesnât work. I understand a quest giver handing over a couple of items as a reward. But 8+ learned appearances per quest, that arenât even related to my character? Itâs just wierd.
On the other hand I have no objection to them adding an RP toggle in the options, donât give me these other rewards, or let me buy things from vendors not for my class etc.
Not something Iâd ever tick myself but I can see true RPers going for it.
Iâll take the convenience of not having to do the same quest 5 times over the, for me, imperceivable âweirdnessâ of getting the appearances that the quest rewards on completing the quest.
These rewards were always a part of the quest, they just had class filters so that theyâd only show you the ones you could pick.
We already had a system where on quest completion youâd get all item appearances that matched your characters filter (like if a quest offered 4 weapons a paladin could use, choosing one to physically have would still unlock all weapons)
In that sense all this did was remove the class filter.
If you ask me, it makes sense with where the game was, is now and is going too
