Time to empty my wardrobe!
Fashionistas of The Last City, you may breath a sigh of relief and begin clearing out your wardrobe: Bungie have confirmed thatDestiny 2’s upcoming transmogrification won’t require us to hold the original item. The workings of the transmog system are still largely unknown but game director Luke Smith did say last night that yes, if we want to duplicate a garment’s look and apply it to another, it is enough to have the original in our Collections. I’ve been saving every swish item for months, my Vault now overflowed into my inbox, and am so very glad to hear this.
Bungie announced transmogin May, saying that at some point in Year 4 of Destiny we’d get the ability to copy an item’s look into a Universal Ornament we can apply to other gear, making it much easier to have good-looking outfits with decent stats. They said the a process would require either “in-game effort” or paying the premium microtransaction currency, Silver, but were vague beyond that. Oh howI’ve pleaded for specifics. Luke Smith finally revealed one crucial detail during a stream yesterday:

“What we’re doing with transmog is you’re not gonna have to have the copy in your inventory,” he said. “You can just delete all that shit. We’re gonna scrape your account data and the things that are eligible for transmog will be things that you’ve collected across your journey. It’s not gonna be what you have at that moment. As you’re getting ready for Beyond Light, if you wanna delete a bunch of old shit that you were keeping because you wanted to look sweet - this old Ego Talon IV Warlock helmet, still probably my favourite Warlock helmet in the game - I can delete that, I don’t need to keep that around.”
A Bungie community managerexplained itmore simply: “You don’t need to have armor pieces in your vault when Transmog goes live for them to be eligible. Collections based.”
Save me from myself.
Transmog isn’t coming at the start of Year 4 withSeason Of The Hunt, mind, rather in some later season.
Inanother Bungieblast, last night they announced more changes coming with the launch of the Beyond Light expansion on November 10th. The important ones from this latest trickle of info:
