Guild Wars 2

I’ve tried making an eternity using my transmuted twilight and it wouldn’t let me. I think despite the purple name my twilight has, it is still considered an exotic. So be careful not to transmute your twilight/sunrise if you plan on making eternity for now. I hope Anet fixes this.. They can just remove the “transmuted” description and just maintain the higher tier when transmuting so when I transmute say a rare item skin into an exotic weapon, the new item will read “exotic” instead of transmuted.

When you transmute two items you create a completely new item, which in your case does not fit into the recipe to create Eternity.

Which should be fixed, if someone makes both Sunrise and Twilight, and want to turn it into Eternity, they shouldn’t be denied it because they transmuted one of the items..

One of the reasons I haven’t transmuted my Twilight yet, too many bugs with transmuting atm. Just wait, when ascended come out, people with transmuted legendaries won’t get upgraded. I can just see the rage coming now.

Fix what exactly? If you took any other weapon and transmuted it for it’s skin, you’d not be able to still use that weapon for forging specific recipes.

If someone wants to make Eternity, they should stop and think, not destroy one legendary for it’s skin.

The legendary weapons, being the endgame equipments, having limited stat combinations is a really poor idea. We should be able to transmute it and retain any options we’d normally have if we didn’t. Transmuting shouldn’t reduce an item’s value.

As for other items, ascended backpieces can be transmuted and still be infused, so there.

The main issue will probably be that the transmuted item is now a ‘new’ item.

This ‘new’ item is not what is required for the recipe for Eternity. Seeing as how you can transmute your weapons quite a few different ways, that would mean the recipe for Eternity would have to be changed to allow any of these ‘new’ items to work.

It really sucks, but achieving the desired result may be difficult. Being legendary, it would have been nice to just been able to pick your stats. Or have a ‘vendor’ that can restat it for you easily for a few silver.

Database-wise, it should be a relatively easy fix to implement, with the only slightly-challenging part being to update the entries for the existing transmuted items, hence I’m kind of baffled why they haven’t done it yet.

Unless:
a) The initial entries were poorly structured.
b) It’s intended to be like this (aka don’t transmute).

P.S. – would be nice if a rep could actually clarify whether it’s just intended to be like this, or a fix is being at least “considered”.

Already covered in the bugs forum https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Transmuting-Legendary-Exotic-Merged/page/4#post1718798

As for your suggested “fix”, that isn’t likely to work if you take a look at how transmuted items show up in the MF. Put a masterwork skin on a fine item then try to forge that with 3 other masterwork items and it should be fairly obvious what the problem is.

my gess is that the stats are comming from the old exotic and that said exotic then have have a line of code to pick up the skin for said legendary instead of what it normaly has meaning that your trying to craft a new legendary with a exotic instead of a legendary

I am confident that this is a bug though.. Slowly, transmuted legendaries are being fixed so that they maintain their status, so I’m sure we’ll eventually be able to upgrade our transmuted twilights and sunrises to eternities.

By the way, I’ve recently crafted twilight and wondered if a transmuted twilight retains its legendary status. Anyone can clear my doubt on this?

No, it gets status “Transmuted” and wont pair with legendary items in the Mystic Forge anymore. So no Eternity, period.

Transmuted Bolt 3 days ago and Twilight two months ago. No change yet.

I thought it still showed [Legendary] underneath it, together with the purple color name.

Nope. It still says transmuted although the name and font color are retained.

So this is still not trustworthy information? Its not like I did not state I just did it.

yea, and if you transmute your legendary with a exotic, when ascended weapons come out with better stats your legendary will still be exotic stats

so if i have transmuted sunrise/twilight i can’t make eternity? It’s bug, or what?

nope you cant. follow the link Khisanth posted and it shall reveal all knowledge to you.

As for the rest of the legendarys transmute- transmute til your hearts content!!!!
yeah it wont be upgrade to ascended stats when ascenededweapons come out…..but then again ascended pvt weapon…still sucks

or i guess if your cheap and only want to use 1 fine stone. as for me my engi has been enjoying my quip since lvl 30 ( i couldnt hold off not playing her and little did i expect to be finshed so soon)
