Guild Wars 2

If you transmute a Legendary and the patch for the ascended weapons come in and they ascend legendarys… will the new transmuted stats get ascended? or will it not get ascended?

Really Anet has said that legendaries will always remain BiS. Some people think that transmuted ones will not be upgraded, but I think they will because some people transmuted theirs before they ever knew about possible upgrades. People who have transmuted put in just as much work to get the item as someone who didn’t why make that sort of split.

i would love it if Anet could answer and clarify to be honest because i have seen so many arguments some say it will ruin the coding others say it wont

Well ask yourself: Even if it’s ascended, do you REALLY want PVT gear?

i would like it to ascend a diferent stat if thats okay

Anet, i would like to get an official answer from you about this Transmutation of Legendary,can you give us a clear answer pls?

i gess it will depend on how the tranmution works
because if its just the skin thats transferd to the stats you had i gess the upgrade wont happen but if its made so the weapon is getting the stats i gess it will upgrade

I’m also wondering about this for the special exotics. You know how they made an easy upgrade for the Triforge Pendent (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Triforge_Pendant_%28ascended%29) ? Well I’m wondering if they’ll do the same for things like Volcanus, Firebringer, Cragestone, Whisperblade, etc. I’ve been investing heavily into these non-legendary skins, and plan to keep working on more.

The problem is the same with this legendary transmutation issue, if they made ascended weapons, will these non-legendary weapons all have easy upgrade recipes?… (weapon+1 coin+1fractal relic+ 1 ecto), and if so will a transmuted version of these weapons not be a viable input for this recipe (and therefore having to go through a million hoops and hurtles to get ascended stats for these beautiful weapons)?

There are so many reasons why I hate gear treadmills, and this one of my biggest gear treadmill related concern atm.
