Removing main-hand/off-hand Xmog restrictions maybe by 5.2. Also allowing Xmog of weaps w/ similar anims (2H axe/2H sword, etc).
Problem right now is fist weapons can be quite big, & Monk anims are detailed enough that these weapons cause bad art clipping.
I discussed w/ @Ghostcrawler & he's going to see if we can make polearm Xmog work for War/DK/Ret weapon types. Want to!

Transmogging between 1h axes, swords, and maces worked. On the PTR, I was able to transmog between Rod of the Sun King, Blade of Savagery, and Peon-Chopping Axe.

In addition, transmogging between 2h axes, swords, and maces was possible. On the PTR, I went between Warmaul of Infused Light, Twinblade of the Phoenix, and Torn-Heart Axe of Battle.

Comment by droeberCan you transmog an item to look like an item that your class normally can't use?Comment by ElarinkNow people who hate the Shin'ka appearance can finally change it to a sword. This way, people won't have to be forced to use Starshatter instead!Comment by Frag971What about Main-hand with One-Hand? I want to transmog my onehad sword into a mainhand sword but currently that's not possubru. :(Comment by tr1ggerTransmorg goodness! :DComment by 845963when are we gonnna get to transmog legendariesComment by devoloreNow I never have to equip anything that isn't Corrupted Ashbringer ever again.Comment by maccormaicCan you transmog an item to look like an item that your class normally can't use?Comment by perculiaChecked PTR--can't do one hand to main/offhand.Comment by jacobwx77you cant transmog staves into polearms and vice versa? dont they share animations?

also i think being able to xmog swords into polearms would be weird for fury warriors at leastComment by VoiletwisI hope that they let us transmog polearms and staffs together.Comment by KazlehoffPolarms and Fists cant be transmogged? Lovely. i play a bear and a monk. this bothers me alot. the polarms and staves are generally ugly as hell. and there isnt a weapon monks can use in raiding that IS NOT A FIST WEAPON.
so monks are still screwed in regards to wepon transmogs.

blizzard needs to let fist weapons be transmogged. dont allow transmogging TO fists. fine, NP.
but fists need to be transmoggable to Swords, Axes and Maces. i want my weapons visible and strapped to my back for my monk, or i want blizzard to put in Agility Swords or Axes instead of Fist weapons.

when are we gonnna get to transmog legendariesComment by 1005978what about casters? will we be able to xmog a dagger with a sword?Comment by 682866This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by Faradizethey should let us transmog between Polearm and Staff. using polearm with a druid was always made me angry, while there was a Wildfury staff in my bag :(Comment by Tenjenthis is good news for paladins, since many of us have a particular axe, mace or sword we prefer but our current BIS is something else. THough mind you i have 2 of each weapon type (for both 1h and 2h that too) for my morging :3Comment by d3cadanceAwesome news, thanks WH :DComment by DevinedragoonNow I never have to equip anything that isn't Corrupted Ashbringer ever again.Comment by perculiaUnfortunately, mailboxes and picking up quests are bugged on the PTR, so I can't check polearms and staves. Character copies didn't reset, so I used the few I had to test the categories above--although I do have a character with the BoA staff and polearm I'd love to copy over.

Edit: there's one vendor that sells staves, going to hope the items are available.Comment by 1058749This post was from a user who has deleted their account.Comment by Nulgarperc, Brunnhildar Harpoon is a vendor-sold polearm that can be used to mog other items, and should be the most easily available polearm in that regard.
