How to turn off Profession Equipment in WoW: The War Within

No more overriding your favorite transmog!

If you’re one of the many players who carefully curate their character’s look, you might find it agitating when your stylish outfit is suddenly replaced by bulky profession gear the moment you start crafting.

Fortunately, Blizzard has provided a way to disable the automatic appearance change, allowing you to enjoy your transmog without interruption in WoW: The War Within—here’s how.

How to toggle off Profession Equipment in WoW: The War Within

When you do any sort of crafting-related activity, your profession equipment appearance is automatically enabled, which can be annoying if you like your transmog. To turn off the appearance of profession equipment coming on once you start making stuff, you have to toggle it off manually via an NPC, similar to previous expansions.

For The War Within, that NPC is named Mahra Treebender, located in Dornogal, the man hub. She can be found next to the Crafting Orders area in Dornogal, (/way 58.02 55.25), and she’s pretty difficult to miss because she’s a Tauren. She also has the title ‘Profession Equipment Specialist’, which is kind of its own giveaway, really.

Mahra’s entire purpose is to toggle on and off the appearance of your profession equipment, and to do so, start by talking to her. You’ll be given three different options to toggle on/off your crafting, gathering, and fishing equipment. These are all separate, so make sure to toggle the ones you want off if you don’t want to their gear appear. Personally, I like my Windwalker’s transmog, so I’ve turned all of the options off in favor of it. You can also turn them back on at any time at Mahra.

Once you’ve done this, no longer will profession equipment plague your appearance.
