Pets, cosmetics, and transmogs are core parts of how we flex our OSRS accounts. Jagex wants to encourage flexing rare drops and transmogs, most recently evidenced as part of the Trouver changes (1). This sweep up aims to encourage that pattern to continue with certain items, Especially in the light of a somewhat recent post of a UIM hosting a funeral for a magma mutagen (2). The core mechanic is that applying an untradeable cosmetic transmog item/pet permanently unlocks this option for an account to toggle. This technology already exists; items such as the alchemist outfit, and pets it is already the case with the dusted raids, NM, muspah, sarachnis, and nid pets. This could easily further be extended to tradeable items, as long as the item is consumed upon applying the transmog, allowing the option to be permanently unlocked for the account. For some colors this is trivial (coal on a mining pet e.g.), sure, but less for other items. This either saves bank spaces for mains, and/or avoids the requirement to revisit content for cosmetics that have already been unlocked (especially if they are rare or challenging). I’ve assembled a short list for consideration and suggestions that could make transmogs more accessible and consistent, though it is not comprehensive. I. Mutagens - (A) Applying a mutagen to a serpentine helm permanently unlocks the toggle to change colors; this will be applied retroactively to transmogged helms. (B) Alternatively, add an option to recover a mutagen by speaking to Zul-Urgish once it appears in the collection log. This helps those that lost transmogged helms previously. II. Graceful - Applying a recolor option to a graceful now permanently allows it to be selected from a dropdown option. The trailblazer transmog is now consumed upon applying it. No need to get 3000 marks on sets 2 through 10 or take up multiple bank spaces for those that would want to mix it up more often than getting other sets from POH. III. Pheonix (and skilling pets) - consuming firefighters progresses towards permanently unlocking those colors as an option. These can be given incrementally instead of all at once. Once 250 have been fed, that option becomes permanently unlocked. IV. Rift Guardian - The Guardians Eye is now consumed upon application to the Rift Guardian pet and is unlocked as a permanent toggle. V. Leagues Transmogs - Scrolls are now consumed upon application to an item and can be toggled back and forth. Critically, this standardizes their value for risk in the wilderness. Currently there are inconsistencies which cause certain kitted items to be incorrectly valued (and thus protected in wildy) over others; personally, I found out a kitted anguish is protected over a raging echoes venator bow, RIP vbow. TLDR - Cosmetics good, consistency good. A permanent cosmetic toggle unlock system benefit mains for bank space or snowflakes for flexibility.
