How to Transmog

Talk to Hal and Select Tailor Equipment

1

To transmog equipment, talk to Hal in the Norgandian Settlement and select Tailor Equipment. You can then choose the equipment you want to change the appearance of from your currently equipped gear or inventory.

Note: You can only transmog equipment obtained in the Norgan region, but you can choose any equipment you've previously obtained, including ones from the base game, to copy its appearance.
2

In the Tailor Equipment screen, select the equipment that you wish to transmog, then choose another piece of equipment to copy its appearance. Once you're satisfied with the new look, press Confirm to complete the transmog.

A square icon will appear on the equipment in the inventory after it's been transmogged.

Transmogging costs Gold but Hal can give discounts if you currently possess the referenced equipment in your inventory of item storage.

Only Appraised Relics Can Be Transmogged

Equipped With Copy Appearance of Transmog?
Appraised Relic Equipment Base Game Equipment ✔︎
Yes
Appraised Relic Equipment Other Appraised Relic Equipment ✔︎
Yes
Base Game Equipment Appraised Relic Equipment ✖︎
No
Base Game Equipment Ohter Base Game Equipment ✖︎
No

You can only transmog equipment obtained by appraising spoils from Jiera. This means you cannot transmog equipment from the base game. However, you can still choose equipment obtained from the base game to copy its appearance.

Is Transmog Available in the Base Game?

Transmog Is Exclusive to the Dark Arisen DLC

Unfortunately, transmog is exclusive to the Dark Arisen DLC, as it only applies to equipment obtained in the Norgan region, where the expansion takes place. Players can still bring their transmogged characters to the base game's map, especially during Lost Rites expeditions.

What is Transmog (Layered Armor)?

Change an Equipment's Appearance Without Affecting Stats

Transmog

Transmog (or Layered Armor) allows you to change the appearance of your character's and Main Pawn's weapons, shields, head armor, body armor, and leg armor to match any piece of equipment you have previously obtained. This will only change an equipment's appearance and does not affect its stats.
