Guild Wars 2

Hello,

i have a problem that’s driving me completely nuts. I bought my cultural Tier 3 armor for my asura guardian. Except the pauldrons, i wanted to use my fanatic’s mantle (starter gear for the guardian).

I bought transmutation stones for lvl 80 (the good stuff) an everything working fine. Except for the shoulders. I can transmutate the stats but i can’t transmutate the rune.

Does someone know what’s going on here? I have no idea what i’m doing wrong.

I’ve attached a screenshot of my problem. The Dragonic Pauldrons have a Rune equipped. I’ve tried to unequip and transmutate, i’ve tried to switch the left and right side of the transmutation window. Nothing will work. :-(

Thanks in advance!

Solution, do a double transmute. first the look on some level 80 armor, then that transmuted armor’s look on the draconic exotic.

Your Draconic armor is damaged, according to the provided image, maybe it needs to be repaired first.

If that doesnt solve the problem, try putting the starter armor in the left side instead.

Repair the Draconic item…..you can’t transmute a damaged piece of equipment.

You can transmute damaged armor. I did it a couple days ago on a low level toon. It bascally “repairs” the final transmute piece.

@ OP: your pic doesn’t show the Draconic pauldrons have a rune. So, there is no rune to select as the trans option….

Runes have a level requirement. I’m assuming it has a superior rune? If you pick the stats of anything under level 60, the rune should not be able to be transferred (and probably won’t show up as a result).

Click the top box for the model you want (the starter ones) middle for the stats (draconic) and the bottom for the rune if there is one (you’re not using one). They all need to be soulbound to the same character for this to work.

If they aren’t you need to do a double transmute. Take the starter shoulders then transmute the skin to a white armor. That item will become account bound. Then use that item to transfer the model to the one you want.

Idk what else to tell you if none of that works My suspicion is that one of the two items is soulbound to another character though.

The problem might be that the starter pieces don’t come with rune/upgrade slots. The Fanatic’s only has a defense stat and nothing else. So possibly no rune slot for it to be merged into?

Damage doesn’t matter as I used to save my repair bills while levelling by transmuting to much better equipment.

It shouldn’t matter, I’ve transmuted starter items before with no problem, including these shoulders for my guard.

afaik…if an item is soulbound to another character, you can’t remove it from your bank, much less move it to a transmutation window.

I just read the OP’s original post again…and maybe I’m reading it wrong, but are they trying to bring over a rune AND the stats in addition to the looks? Because that wouldn’t work.

On the other hand…unless they posted the wrong picture, those exotic shoulders do NOT have a rune on them.

I tried to (sort of) recreate the conditions using a a transmuted starter necro mask and level 80 exotic headpiece with a rune on it. The rune does show in the transmutation window under the item’s stats, even though the other item in the transmutation pair is under level 60.

I was able to transmutate it with the selected answer. My Pauldrons had a superior rune of the soldier, but instead if showing it in the transmutation window, it was hidden (but the space for the section was under the stats, so is guessed it was invisible since the Fanatic Mantle doesn’t have a Upgradeslot at all.)

So i transmutated the look of the fanatic mantle using a normal transmutation stone. After that , it got the Upgradeslot and i was able to use a fine transmutation stone for the draconic stats.

So the problem wasnt the lvl requirement or that it was damaged. It was just a bug that hides the upgrade from one item, if the other item hasn’t an upgradeslot after all.

Thanks for all answers i got!

And sorry for my poor english, actually i’m german
