World of Warcraft players will finally be able to hide their pants via the transmog system in The War Within. This transmog option has been five years in the making, and will let World of Warcraft characters more easily wear certain outfits or show off their unique character customizations.


In Vanilla, World of Warcraft players only had the option to hide their helmet and cloak via an interface toggle, a function the transmog system took over when the feature was introduced in WoW: Cataclysm. Then, during Battle for Azeroth in 2019, World of Warcraft added new transmog options that allowed fans to hide the appearance of every armor slot except pants.

World of Warcraft Remix: Mists of Pandaria players looking to make the perfect transmog can now pick up a shirt and tabard without any trouble.

However, The War Within is bringing the hidden transmog system full circle. As of a recent build of the WoW: The War Within alpha, World of Warcraft characters have the option to hide their pants slot while making a transmog. Five years after the rest of the hidden transmogs options were added, players can finally hide any type of gear they want for maximum character customization.


Hide Pants Transmog Option in WoW: The War Within


This option is important because of the control it puts in the hands of fans. There are tons of dresses in the game, such as the Lovely Black Dress from Love is In The Air or the Gossamer Desert Gown from the World of Warcraft Trading Post catalogue in January, that feature leg slits where pants are visible. The ability to hide pants will open up tons of transmog options with these outfits, and will avoid clipping issues with some robes. Additionally, new races like the Dracthyr and Earthen have unique customization options for their legs, so the ability to hide pants will let players show off these special characteristics more readily.

Needless to say, fans are excited that World of Warcraft is finally adding this option. Tons of NPCs in World of Warcraft utilize transmogs with hidden pants already, including popular characters like Valeera Sanguinar, the Blood Elf rogue, and Sally Whitemane – the iconic final boss of the Scarlet Monastary dungeon in WoW. With this option at their disposal, players will no longer have to hunt around for substitutes while trying to make transmogs inspired by these looks.


The War Within itself is going to be huge for transmog lovers. World of Warcraft is letting players of any class unlock item appearances they come across, regardless of weapon and armor proficiencies. Fans who have looted rare World of Warcraft items like the Tusks of Mannoroth or the Warglaives of Azzinoth on characters who cannot use the items will soon be able to unlock the appearances for their accounts, so players should be sure to hold on to any such gear they find until the Warbands system goes live later this year.
