So I did some googling, saw that transmogs were accounwide. Looked up if I would be able to use a tabard transmog and was told by a guildie that anything that isn’t the actual piece of armour that your class has to wear will be able to be used by another character. Weapons etc.
So I just spent the last 3 days grinding out all the nightfallen quests and rep for the nightfallen tabard. I’m a new player and trying to get into the game and get some cool stuff done before SL comes out.
The 3 days of grinding made me realise, that just because I wanted to get some old world items to create a cool transmog, I would have to put an absolute kind of disgusting amount of time into grinding out this one tabard. But alas! I went to work and did it.
Only to find out that my alt mage CANNOT wear it. Why!? All I wanted was to make it a little easier on myself by doing it on my DH but no, this one item happens to not be account wide at all and even after googling and asking my guild I wasn’t able to realise this. Thanks for making your game feel fu**ing horrible and like a huge waste of my time becuase of some disgusting restriction forcing people to pour thier lives away, and I’m on welfare and don’t even have to work, yet even I feel this amount of grinding is just stupid.
If my friend who works wanted to do this it would be completely unobtainable.
Edit: one thing that would have made the grind better would be having world quests reset more often. Instead of once a day I think old world content world quests should have more catchup mechanics, like double rep gained and faster resets on world quests.
Please stop doing stuff like this blizzard, just make tabards account wide please, I grinded for 3 damn days and no where is it even obvious that tabards aren’t account bound.
The tabard itself is not account bound, but you could transmog its appearence over another one.
At least that’s how it is working for my alts, I can transmog the tabard across multiple characters & neither of them have any reputation at all with the nightfallen.
However, there could be a level requirement that I am not aware of, as my alts are all sitting at level 50.
Have you tried to left click on the tabard slot when you’re at the transmog NPC?
It should open up your tabard collection instead of just hiding the tabard.
Yes but it only shows the bilgewater tabard even though I have collected the horde tabard also from exiles reach, so this leads me to believe that maybe this tabard can only be turned off and not changed into another one?
Edit: I just bought the Illustrious guild tabard and now it allows me to transmog this to the bilgewater. It does not show the horde tabard or the nightfallen tabard.
Heya mate, I’ve had this issue recently with some tabards, when you buy the tabard on a character transmog it or equip it on the character you got it to make it soulbound.
Tabards have a timer that you can resell them for the money you purchased and until that 2 hour timer is finished the transmog is not unlocked for your account! Hope it helps!
Thanks! I managed to figure this out in the end. Someone in game told me the same thing and a quick fix to get rid of the resell timer. Transmog the tabard that you bought, the one you wish to remove the resell timer from and just make it blank. This removes the timer immediately.
