How to Transmog Equipment

Unlock the Eternal Rift

The option to transmog your equipment only becomes available when you clear the first Crucible Manifested during The Hamamatsu Incident main mission. Clearing it by defeating the Jakotsu-baba boss grants you access to the Eternal Rift, allowing you to transmog equipment, re-edit your character appearance, and rewatch cutscenes.

Once the Eternal Rift base is unlocked, you can fast travel to it from your map.

Interact With the Mirror in the Rift

Transmog Steps
1
Change Appearance Mirror
Head to the northern building and go upstairs. Past Saito Fuku is a room with the appearance mirror. Interact with it to start the process.
2
Equipment Appearance Option
Select the second option, "Equipment Apperance", to go to the transmog menu. You can also change your character's appearance from here.
3
Select Equipment Type
Select a weapon or armor type to transmog. You can only transmog by weapon/armor type, and not each individual piece in your possession.
4
Transmog Options
Choose the weapon or armor you want the gear type to resemble. The available options come from weapons or armor you have previously collected.

Effects of Equipment Transmog

Changes Appearance Without Altering Stats

The transmog mechanic changes your equipment's appearance, allowing it to appear like another without altering its stats. This feature is purely for cosmetics and does not affect gameplay.
