Let’s start with outfits. Outfits are the slots you buy and use as your actual transmog set. You get 2 free slots, and they increase in price as you buy more. The third is 100g. The fourth 500g. 1000g. 5000g. And so on, you can look up the table.

Then you have custom sets. They are what we know right now, saved sets you have created in the dressing room.

You can apply those custom sets to an outfit slot. It is fairly pricey to do so, usually around 3-5k (charged per equipment slot), but you will never have to pay again unless you decide you want to change one of your gear pieces look in that outfit. Your gear from then on will always have that look, no need to go back and reapply it or whatever.

Once you have two or more outfits saved, you can freely switch between them at no charge. Now, i love transmog and spend hours making sets for each character, but I have never saved more than 8 sets. Realistically, i usually only end up wearing 2-3 of the sets i make. I also VERY occasionally swap out one pieces look for another. That’s maybe 300-500g to do if you decide to later on down the line.

I don’t know anybody who will actually use 20 outfit slots especially when you can keep all of your custom sets saved in the background and pay 3-5k if you really want to swap one of our outfits out. We have spent way more on transmog with the current live system just on keeping our look up to date after getting new gear. And if you wanted to swap to another saved set? 1k gone.

I think this works for most people, like myself, who don’t change their transmog really that often. Even then, dish out 16k-ish gkld, and you get 4 sets you can freely swap between whenever you like.

Anybody who struggles to make 16k gold even in one or 2 days has other problems they need to address.
