Given that we are mere days into The War Within<\/em><\/a>, chances are that you’ve already obtained more than a few upgrades on your old Dragonflight<\/em> gear. This brings up an interesting conundrum: what to do with the resulting mismatched appearance of a carefully curated transmog outfit<\/a> combined with a clunky-looking leveling helm?<\/p>\n

There are a few ways to handle this most important of choices in a new expansion. Some adventurers in the Blizzard Watch staff room had the same approach as me — let it slide. Ever since I watched a tiny pixelated Link don a blue tunic<\/a> for the first time, I have looked forward to seeing gear upgrades change my character’s appearance. This has carried all the way to World of Warcraft<\/em>, meaning that I will keep new gear appearances even if it takes me from looking like I just saved Azeroth to looking like I just stepped out of the Dornogal Charity Clothing Drive.<\/p>\n

The same logic applies at the end of the leveling journey. Once the max-level gear drops start looking like armor and weapons that would stand a chance against an army of spiders, seeing my characters once again begin to appear formidable is its own reward.<\/p>\n

Other Blizzard Watch writers had different approaches. Some even said they maintain their transmog through each new piece of gear, summoning their Grand Expedition Yak<\/a> each time an upgrade drops in order to keep up a snazzy appearance. I can certainly understand that — I feel like my warband has single-handedly put Mystic Birdhat’s<\/a> kids through college at this point.<\/p>\n

So how do you handle a deluge of new gear throwing a wrench into your perfectly planned transmog ensembles? Are you constantly changing your appearance? Will you wait until the loot drops slow down before slipping into your favorite old tier set?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
