Guild Wars 2

Can someone please confirm how I would go about getting my Full zerk stats on Twilight?

I have heard conflicting answers to this and not found anything concrete :

I’ve hear you transmute the pre to the stats you want then do it – this however doesn’t seem logical as it will change the precursor status.

Others have said you lose the Purple name when you use a fine transi stone.

Just after confirmation that if I use a fine transi crystal on twilight the legendary status will not change and I will not end up with a suffix like I do on my corrupted avenger.

Simple :

- Don’t transmute the precursor or you won’t be able to upgrade it to legendary
- Don’t transmute the legendary or you won’t be able to upgrade it to Eternity (for Twilight)

Now 2 cases, if you want Eternity or not :

- If not : still don’t transmute, when Ascended weapons will be brought up, Legendaries will be upgraded. I pretty much think that a transmuted legendary won’t see its stats being up’d (only hypothesis in my post, but that would be logical)
- If yes : don’t transmute

Final word : don’t transmute.

Well – that makes no sense.

Craft the ultimate item in the game and you can’t even have the stats on it you want without it affecting other things.

Time to sell the T6’s and stick with foefires

Well, if by that logic, you could transmute it anyway because you can just get an ascended greatsword and transmute it onto that one. Seeing as if you have foefire’s you would have to do that anyway.

Legendaries should coming without any stats, just like fractals weps, but unlike fractals weps we should have some ways in MF to changing their stats while keeping them as legendary, not trasmuted, just something like that for example:

Ive received my legendary wep without stats and i want to get zerk stats on it, i going to mf and putting in:

Twilight+5ecto+5crystals+10phil stones = Twilight with zerk stats.

And naturally we should be able to use that recipes as long we like, legendaries takes a bit more time to get than exotics. Also once recipe its used its should turn into acc bound.

@Nachtz

I completely disagree with you. I think anet is required to upgrade any transmuted legendary weapons, because they are still legendary and will always remain ‘best in slot’ as stated by anet.

Prezzy, I have a transmuted legendary and can tell you it retains the purple text now. I would say go for twilight and transmute it freely. Even if they don’t upgrade to ascended you can still always re-transmute it. DO NOT under any circumstance transmute your precursor though, that would be a huge mistake.

jwaz, I don’t mean to speak for Nachtz, but I’m not sure he/she would disagree with you about what ANet should or should not do, only what they will or will not do. The fact that transmuted Twilights and Sunrises still have purple text, but cannot be used to create Eternity suggests that the purple text is kept as an aesthetic, but the item is no longer a true Twilight or Sunrise.
When ANet releases Ascended weapons and run a script to convert the stats on all existing Legendary weapons to match the new BiS stats, your transmuted Legendaries may very well not get recognized and upgraded. Again, I’m not arguing that’s the way it should be, only that that’s the way it could be.

Just to throw in my two cents, I also think it’s ridiculous that the Legendaries have only 1 stats option. What if you play a zerker or condition build? You would have to take a handicap if you want to use your PVT Legendary. It makes no sense that you have to work so hard for an item that will make you less effective.

Yeah. Guyys what have u thought with these stats guys? This is ridicolous. I want an official answer! All the hardwork for really useless stats u can’t choose.

Will Legendaries stay even and not get an upgrade or will u upgrade it later? Cuz elsewise we’re able to transmute em and lose legendary status-.-!

@Facepunch

I understand where you’re coming from, and I get your point that they might not upgrade ascended when the time comes. I transmuted my Frostfang onto berserker stats because I’m not going to weaken myself with the generic PVT, and I don’t think anet should punish those who choose to not stick with PVT.

While I realize transmuting makes a legendary it a new item, I still think anet has the power to locate these transmuted legendary weapons, and upgrade them accordingly. If not then I’m hoping they at least send those with transmuted legendary weapons an ascended weapon with the same stats to transmute over.

Anyways I doubt we’ll be getting ascended weapons anytime soon, so we don’t have to worry for now, I just hope Anet realizes the situation and how the community feels about it.

kittening dumb that is, after all the kittening effort to craft Leggendaries ( 2 myself ) you cant even choose the stats you want….
I wish Anet could give us an official reply bout` that..

I know it might sound silly…but when I FINALLY get mine I am not gonna change it at all. Seems like a lot of work just to use it as a skin to lol. But that’s just me.

• DO NOT transmute your precursor else you will not be able to make your Legendary.
• Get your Berserker weapon & your Twilight and transmute the Twilight onto the weapon, just as you would with any other skin.
• The reason some people say you lose the purple is because you used to, but this was fixed.

I have attached an image of my own transmuted Legendary as proof.

That was my point, indeed. I hope I am wrong, though.

Noone said that in this topic…

Sorry?

Regarding Ascended upgrading, if you want to transmute stats from PVT now, it should mean you are should still wish to have Exotic-whatever over Ascended PVT. And rightfully so, Soldiers is horribad.

I believe Anet has stated before that even if you transmuted a legendary they will upgrade to BiS when the time comes.
My reason being, when ascended gear first appeared all non transmuted legendaries received the upgrade to ascended stats, not 1 or 2 hours later this change was removed I believe because it did not effect transmuted ones as intended.
Or maybe it was removed because not everyone had the ability to obtain a higher quality weapon. I feel that both are plausible and it was pushed off until Anet could deal with it more freely.
On another note being the owner of both a transmuted and a non transmuted legendary I think it is irrelevant to worry, the change hasn’t come yet, Anet failed to put a system in to select desired stats and when the change comes I feel it will be upgraded since I put just as much effort to getting mine as the next guy did. Why should we (owners of transmuted legendaries) be punished for not wanting undesirable stats. especially since a 2h weapons accounts for what an 1/8 of the stats gained from gear? Not including weapon damage of course.

Sorry but purple item stating “Transmuted” instead of “Legendary”.
I feel sorry for the fool who transmuted a legendary the coding lock it as a transmuted item linked to exotic type. Then you won’t be able to see its stats upgraded on par with the ascended weapons unless Anet solve the issue with “transmuting a legendary”. The fact you keep the purple color of the named item doesnt make it a legendary any longer as stated above it’s a transmuted typed. Moreover transmuting is keeping the skin of the legendary item but all the coding stats are linked to the exotic item you used so in fact you play with an exo weapon only looking like a legendary.
If you transmuted your legendary you ll whine on forum when ascended will come but it’s already too late. ^^
If Anet doesn’t say anything about it, it’s only because they need time to fix the issue somehow and avoid every people like you (who transmuted their legendary) scream loud on forum with thousand of complaining tickets
