hey all! one thing i’ve consistently said we would do with each new iteration of the wardrobe—this being somewhere around version seven or eight at this point—is properly support transforming items.

right now, we have a large number of items on the site (mostly from the cash shop) that transform in the inventory into two or three other wearables, and sometimes into a food or other usable item. all of these are implemented with custom php on a per-item basis. this is, frankly, a decision i made a very long time ago, and i am still very much dealing with the consequences.

the goal now is to fix this the right way. i’m working on a script that will go through all of that custom code, extract the relevant item ids, and convert it into an actual database of transforming items that the wardrobe can understand natively.

what this means for players is:

• you’ll be able to use transforming items directly from the wardrobe, including all of their versions
• you generally won’t need to keep multiple copies of the same item just to access different forms (unless you’re pursuing an achievement or similar goal)
• in the future, you should be able to sell or trade off extra versions while still retaining full wardrobe functionality

this is where i could use your help. please post the transforming items you’re most excited to be able to use directly from the wardrobe, or any specific items you’re particularly looking forward to having handled this way.

if there are any transforming items you care about, or any edge cases you think i should be aware of, i’d love to hear about those as well.

thanks!

Really REALLY looking forward to the eye items that you can use a left,right or both sides to. The one's I know about; Lost Black Contacts and it's other colors. BrightEyes Blue Contacts and other colors.

Also a more obsure but cool transforming item I like is the Blue Nazar and four other colors.

If I think of more I shall edit this post!

Seconding all the sets of those Lost contacts. Love the idea!!

This is a really convenient feature! If possible, I think it would be nice to be able to preview the other items from the little "display as variant" popup as well.

Also, there are a handful of transforming items that transform into both wearable & nonwearable items, and the current kumos wardrobe allows you to transform them into the nonwearable versions & save those on your HA. It doesn't really hurt anything, but it could potentially be confusing?
