New World Aeternum Transmog and Dye Guide

Here is an in-depth guide to the newly released Transmog system in New World Aeternum. This guide covers everything you need to know about the Stylemancer, Transmogging and dyeing Skins. The Transmog system was introduced part way through Season 2.


New World Aeternum Transmog Overview

New World Aeternums Transmog systems allows you to turn any item earned in game into a Skin using Transmog Tokens and to dye Skins. Skins that are bought from the shop are also dyeable. Use Transmog Tokens at the Stylemancer NPC to turn collected gear pieces into Skins.

When you apply a Skin to a piece of gear, it remains on that gear piece even if you unequip it or swap to another gear set. This means you can can effectively have different looks for different sets.


Accessing the Stylemancer

You can access the Stylemancer by going to any major settlement and talking to the Stylemancer NPC next to the Outfitter Crafting Station. They will have Transmog token symbol above them (as pictured below).

The Stylemancer UI shows you all possible Skins you can earn in the game and from the store. Collected Skins are highlighted and skins that can be Transmogged have a Transmog Symbol in the bottom right corner. Skins purchased via the Store will have a Store symbol in the bottom right corner. Skins earned through Twitch Drops or Prime Gaming will have a Twitch or Prime Gaming Symbol in the bottom right corner.

A couple of things to note.

  • Unfortunately, you cannot dye weapons.
  • You cannot easily preview dyes that you do not own, sometimes hovering over the dye will preview it.
  • Crafted dyes need to be in your Inventory or in the Storage of the town you’re in to be able to see/apply them.

Where to find Dyes

Dye can be sourced from the following places.

  • Crafting (Kitchen)
  • Store (Cash Shop)
  • Faction Reputation Vendors

  • 2 Transmog Tokens for 5,000 Marks of Fortune
  • 5 Transmog Tokens for 10,000 Marks of Fortune

Searching for Skins You Don’t Own

While a handful of Skins in the Stylemancer have a more detailed tooltip that tells you where the Skin comes from, the majority do not. The best place to search for Skins you don’t own and where they come from is New World Database.

Simply type the name of the Skin and the search dropdown will populate with the name of the item that uses that Skin. When you click on it, scroll down and click on the ‘Transmog’, ‘Contained’ or ‘Dropped by’ Tabs to learn more about where the item comes from.

Keep in mind that most Expedition skins can be crafted.
