New World will introduce a transmog system this summer, allowing players to change the skins of their armor and weapons. Since stats play a significant role, but not every skin in the game is appealing, players have been waiting for this feature since the release. At the same time, you will be able to dye your gear in the future.
What has New World shown? In a new video, the developers explain how the new transmog system works. You can unlock any armor or weapon skin that you have equipped, in your inventory, or in your bank for the system. You will need one transmog token for each.
Once unlocked, you can change the appearance of your gear at any time with an outfit NPC. This NPC is available in every major settlement. Changing it doesn’t cost anything, but you can only apply skins of the respective weapon and armor type (light, medium, heavy) over your actual gear.
Where do you get the tokens? You can obtain them from elite chests in all game content. Additionally, there will be tokens available in the free and paid reward track of the season passes and in the shop. However, you should not rely on purchasing these.

Fashion finally becomes an endgame content in New World
What else does the mid-season update bring? Along with the transmog system, dyeing will also be introduced in the game. This allows you to freely dye your armor according to your wishes. However, this will not be possible for weapons.
Thus, New World finally offers the essential features to look stylish even in the endgame. Fashion plays an important role in other MMORPGs like Guild Wars 2, Palia, or Final Fantasy XIV.
When will the patch be released? There is no official release date yet. Since the current season runs until October 3rd, the middle will be sometime at the end of August. The update might come as early as next week.
What do you think about the transmog topic? Is such a system a must in today’s MMORPGs, or have you been able to do without it so far?
Incidentally, with the start of the latest season, a big update came: New World has released a huge patch today – introducing the first raid and 5 important changes
