What is lost in a server change?

Question

Returning player, and the addition of all the community and cross-faction stuff makes me consider switching to one of the RP realms just for the atmosphere. However, no way in heck that I'm spending money to move characters around - especially if I decide switching was a mistake.

So that said, I'm looking for what I'll be losing by restarting on a new realm beyond time (hmm, and I suppose gold). My account is fairly ancient, so if I lose too much, that may keep me planted.

Mounts, toys, etc are all account bound. You’d obviously lose your gold on the old server but beyond that I can’t think of anything important.

Any idea about transmogs? Not sure I'd want to go through that loss... I realize I can just create a character and see for myself, but why would I when I have reddit!

Yeah transmogs transfer. Unless it’s a very specific item or something maybe it doesn’t. Like atiesh or something super specific

Unlikely I have anything that super unique. Thank you for confirming!

Basically nothing except access to your other characters' items/banks/etc. You can't sent items/gold cross-server (except BoA items)

Yeah, losing the gold is a bummer but not that critical. I think I might have enough to liquidate for a WoW Token so it doesn't go completely to waste.

Loss of items makes sense... beyond heirlooms though, which aren't as critical as they once were, I'm trying to think if there is anything that is a big enough deal to matter....

Golds pretty easy to get in dragonflight. If you do double gathering professions you can make quite a bit. In the weekly quest in valdrakken that rewards a loot crate, i got a box inside the box that had 15000g in it. But I make about 50-30k a day just mining.

Shouldn't be IMO
