Patch 1.2 Preview: The Wardrobe Feature

With Patch 1.2 you'll be able to customize your character's clothing with Wardrobe Sets!

With Patch 1.2 scheduled to go live May 10, there will be Wardrobe Sets built into your character window. Wardrobe Sets allow you to display a different armor appearance on your character.

For armor, you may only equip your calling's intended armor type in the Chest, Legs, Hands, Feet, Shoulders and Head slots. Warriors can wear plate, rogues can wear leather, and so forth. Eventually there will be "costume-only" or "wardrobe-only" items that anyone will be able to equip.  You cannot equip anything higher than your current level.

One wardrobe set is available by default with three more sets that are unlockable by spending platinum. These additional slots can be purchased by clicking on their locked icon (akin to unlocking banker slots) and clicking "ok" to accept the price, which ranges from 10 platinum for Set #2 to 100 platinum for Set #4.

View a brief video of this feature and continue after the jump to keep reading!


There is an option to disable wardrobe sets and display your actual equipment. An empty wardrobe slot will display your actual equipped armor in that slot instead. The helmet and shoulder slots can be hidden in your options (Settings > Interface > Misc > Check next to "Hide Helmet" and "Hide Shoulder Armor").

Clothier vendors can be found in Meridian and Sanctuary. On the Test shard they had no inventory but will presumably sell wardrobe-only clothing in the future.

A highlighted button signifies your current wardrobe selection. Wardrobe sets can be linked on your action bar, allowing you to swap between your appearance more quickly.

Yes, that's exactly what it does. :)

So this new 'feature' improves gameplay or what?
I think it's kinda useless to put something like this in an mmorpg...

Why should a cleric not be able to wear cloth? I hope there are some decent chain pieces then.

No you may only use chain in your wardrobe slots. Just like a warrior may only use plate.

Well as a wardrobe, there might be a Leather item that looks better on your Cleric than any chain item you can find. Remember this is a wardrobe and thus just a look, not an equipped item.

Also after playing WoW for years I have found top level gear say mail that might be better than the current equipped plate...so it may not be a gimp.
