Transmogrification Potion

A folio of the realm

Transmogrification Potion

A Transmogrification Potion transfers the magical properties of one item onto another item of the same equipment slot but a different visual style. The destination item ends up with the source's properties on the destination's appearance — the standard tool for "I want my optimised suit but in the look I prefer." Sold on the Ultima Store for 700 sovereigns per potion. Not available on Siege Perilous or Mugen shards.

Slots

Transmogrification potions exist for the following slots:

(No body, leg, glove, or arm transmogrification potions exist at present.)

Compatibility Rules

The source and destination must share certain core properties for the transmog to succeed:

  • Medable / non-medable parity — if the source is medable, the destination must also be medable (either by material choice or by the Mage Armor property). If the source is non-medable, the destination must be non-medable; if the destination carries Mage Armor it must be removed (NPC mage guildmaster, 250,000 gp; can be re-added afterward provided the item has fewer than five properties and is not an artifact).
  • Quivers transmogrified onto non-quiver items lose their arrow-holding function. The visual transfers; the slot semantics do not.
  • Armor refinements block transmogrification. Items with refinements applied cannot be transmogrified.
  • Destination must be vanilla — the destination item must carry only its base properties for its item type and no other magical properties. The destination is essentially a blank canvas.

Using the Potion

Double-click the potion to open the gump:

  1. Set Source Object — target the item you are transferring properties from.
  2. Set Destination Object — target the item you are transferring properties to.
  3. Confirm — properties move; the destination retains its own hue.

Transferred attributes:

  • Magical properties — fully copied.
  • Unique name — if the source has a unique name (Doom artifact name, event name, etc.), it transfers to the destination.
  • Blessed status — retained on the destination.

The transfer is permanent and cannot be undone. Transmogrified items cannot be imbued, reforged, or enhanced afterward, and refinements cannot be applied to a transmogrified item — the item exits the system as a final-form artifact.

Special Transmog Targets

Several event items and a Veteran Reward have been designed specifically as transmog destinations — they are exempt from the "vanilla destination" rule and carry the structural shape that makes them clean transfer targets. Current set:

Item Slot Source
Lantern of Protection Shield Treasures of Demonic Forces
Lantern of Shadows Shield Shadow's Awakening
Hildebrandt Shield Shield 25-year Veteran Reward
Ruckus Rum Shield The Black Market Merchant
Wand of Warding Shield Treasures of Demonic Forces

Luck Shamrock Neck

Notable Exception

The Tabard of Virtue is not a transmogrification target. The visual is acquired through a separate process — the Tabard is infused with the properties of Hawkwind's Robe via the Jolly Roger (Shrine Battles) mechanic, not via a transmogrification potion.
