Choosing the right appearance in Diablo 4 is crucial, as it goes beyond just vanity. While some games may work well with a pre-designed character for narrative purposes, this game heavily relies on aesthetics and should be treated as a customized experience. Each class has distinct abilities and personalities, so it doesn't make sense to sport a haphazard appearance unless that's the preferred visual choice.
The guide on how to transmog and change character appearance in Diablo 4 has been updated and revised to accurately reflect the game's full launch. Although the process remains largely the same, there were some minor changes between the beta period and regular game that required updating. This ensures that gamers can access precise, clear, and quick information. While some players may enjoy experimenting with all the transmog and appearance options, others may prefer to quickly set a look and continue playing.
How To Transmog
Interact with the Wardrobe (the icon will be on the map). Select the 'Wardrobe' option.
Players can easily locate a wardrobe in a significant city or outpost. However, in order to access it early on, players will have to complete a few quests in the journal which should take no longer than an hour. It's not necessary to reach the maximum level before utilizing this feature. Once in the wardrobe, players can select a piece of equipment and view a list of available transmog options. On this same screen, players can also coordinate their outfits with a single color scheme for a more cohesive look. It's important to note that only styles that have already been unlocked can be used for transmogging, and not all equipment pieces can have their colors swapped.
How To Change Appearance
To change your appearance, simply interact with the Wardrobe icon on the map and select the 'Appearance' option. The process is just as easy as transmogrifying and can be done in the same location. Once in the wardrobe, navigate to the second tab labeled 'Appearance' and you'll be presented with a setup similar to character creation.
If you're struggling to find the perfect combination of gear and appearance in the higher World Tiers, don't worry. A change in hairstyle or outfit can make all the difference in both functionality and aesthetics. Don't be afraid to experiment and make the necessary adjustments to truly customize your character to your liking.
How To Unlock More Transmog Options
Find a piece of gear that states, "Unlocks new look on salvage" on it. Have a blacksmith salvage the piece.
Players begin their transmog journey with only the basic rags they start off wearing, which can leave them feeling less than fashionable. Some may even consider switching classes just to avoid being seen in such drab attire. However, it takes time and effort to acquire new transmog options and achieve a more impressive look. A trip to the blacksmith is a good place to start, where players can search for pieces that offer the option to salvage for a new look while also gathering valuable crafting materials.
Diablo 4 is available now for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
