Gotchas & Restrictions

1. Transmog NPC required — C_Transmogrify.ApplyAllPending() and related functions only work at a transmog NPC.
2. sourceID vs appearanceID — A sourceID is a specific item drop source. An appearanceID is the visual look (multiple sources can share one appearance).
3. Category by armor type — Transmog categories are divided by armor slot and armor type (cloth, leather, mail, plate).
4. Dye system is new — The dye color system is new in 12.0.0 and APIs may evolve.
5. Barber shop requires presence — C_BarberShop functions only work while at the barber shop NPC.
6. Outfit limit — There's a maximum number of saved outfits per character.
7. Set variants — A base set can have multiple variants (different difficulties, etc.). Use GetVariantSets().
8. illusion = weapon enchant visual — Illusions are the weapon glow effects. Separate from armor transmog.
