Transmog collectors, rejoice! After many years, Blizzard has finally added support to item appearances in the character API, allowing players to track their collection on third-party websites without extra tools or addons required.
Right now, third-party tools that track transmog appearances like our own Wardrobe, pictured below, or Data for Azeroth's appearance tracking, can only see the total number of transmogs an account has. The only way to see specifics is by downloading that data from the game using an addon.
With this change, any third-party tool will be able to show the specific appearances an account has unlocked, allowing them to better organize and show what players are missing.
Lok’tar Ogar!
