Hogwarts Legacy allows players to alter their character’s appearance without impacting their stats. Whether you’re seeking to transmog and change gear appearance in Hogwarts Legacy and switch up your attire or want to change your character’s appearance by changing hairstyles and makeup, the choice is yours.
Owing to the plethora of gear appearance and customization options for each gear slot in Hogwarts Legacy, you can create a truly unique witch or wizard or even cosplay as some characters from the Harry Potter franchise.
Customization is no limited to your character as players can also customize their wands in Hogwarts Legacy.
When do you unlock transmog?
Once you get your Field Guide in Hogwarts Legacy, you can transmog or change the appearance of your gear by hitting the menu key. It will open the menu; from here, you need to select the Gear tab. In the gear section, you will find gear categories.
The game features six primary categories of gear: Headwear, Handwear, Cloaks and Robes, Facewear, Outfits, and Footwear. As you progress through the game, you’ll also have the opportunity to unlock Wand Handles to customize wands, Brooms, and Flying Mounts.
Hovering above anyone one of them will result in a small pop-up screen showing the related stat and information about the equipped item.
Further, this pop-up screen will also show the sell value of the item. This means the currently equipped item can be sold, and in return, you can get the in-game currency equal to the amount written in front.
