Glittering Prizes: Treasure Updates
Random-generated treasure drop rates have been significantly changed with a goal of making treasure drops more useful. In broad strokes, the following changes are most visible:

  • Many new wands have been added as treasure drops and wand drop rates have increased
  • Junk drops, including unsellable clothing, have been significantly reduced (junk drops overall account for about 1% of all genned loot now, with junk clothing down to 0.5%)
  • Transmogrification Clothing has been added as a treasure drop (explanation below)
  • Drop rates have been rebalanced to favor more usable magical items, scrolls, etc. This will pair well with an incoming update coming very soon.

Transmogrification Clothing is a new clothing type that can drop with a long description from treasure. These are random-generated from a large pool of descriptions. You can TRANSFER the description of a piece of Transmogrification Clothing to an item that you already own, provided that a) the items' wear locations match, b) both items have the same container or non-container status, and c) the recipient item isn't scripted, or if scripted, is on an approved list.

If you'd rather wear your Transmogrification Clothing as a permanent piece of your wardrobe, you can CLEAN it to remove its transmogrifying capabilities.

tldr

Random-generated treasure drop rates have been changed.
