ANNOUNCEMENT: GM Auchand announced a significant change or three to Treasure Drops. Look for more wands, less junk (including junk clothing), more usable magical items/scrolls, and the introduction of Transmogrification Clothing. Transmogrification is when a nice-looking item drops, and you can transfer its design to another like item. There are more details in his post:

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.
