So Vanity Weapon Slots.

What is this transmog and transmutation exactly?

Transmogrification is the 'vanity system' from WoW. You have an ugly weapon with awesome stats. You have a nice looking weapon with crappy stats. Put the ugly weapon as the base, and then drop the pretty weapon to the right. Hit a button and the pretty weapon's skin is applied to the ugly weapon. You can always reset the ugly weapon back to its normal skin.

You can always reset the ugly weapon back to its normal skin, but you have to get another pretty weapon to re-apply.

WoW's transmog doesn't destroy any items in the process, so you don't have to get a piece of gear every time you want to apply it to something else.

I could have sworn when I last played that it did destroy. But it's been a very long time. Thanks for the correction!

WoW's system doesn't destroy the item.

Oh god, I hope they don't do that with vanity. I don't want to pay gil even if it is cheap.

Well, seeing the supposed billions of gil floating around that need to be removed from the economy, I wouldn't put it past them to charge money per item. Granted, WoW benefited more from that sort of thing due to the tons upon tons of gold introduced into the economy from daily quests, it is something to think about.

What I wanted you to focus on more is the mechanics of it rather than the cost, though.
