•Transmuting weapons now preserves the higher rarity of the two items.

Does this mean that if you transmute the stats from an exotic unto a Legendary it maintains its Legendary status for the purpose of being upgraded with Asc. gear?

That is also the question I had upon reading that in the patch notes.

K <><

That would be the main idea behind it, yes.

Does that mean we can transmute our legendary onto lets say a white item would it still be account bound like with any other gear and could be put on another character?

You mean, does that mean we can’t* Keeping the higher rarity means we can’t do this transmute soulbound to account bound using whites anymore. Because the white-rarity is what determines the account bound.

Well not sure if it’ll work with legendarys but just tried it with a green and white I equip the green one then transmuted it onto a white the green was account bound after

This means you can now transmute your Legendary and it will still be Legendary instead of Exotic.

Now I’m just hoping when I log on my Legendary when back to Legendary since I transmuted before this patch.

Well, then that means legendaries can now be account bound right?

I heared its bugged and legendaries still turn exotic if you transmute them. Can anyone confirm?

Yeah waiting for someone to confirm this is safe to do before transmuting mine…

Same, just got The Juggernaut this last week but not gonna transmute it until confirmation just in case it’s still working like it was pre-patch where it makes it Exotic.

A friend of mine transmuated her Bifrost. In her inventory, the item is of legendary statusr but when she pings it in map chat, it shows up as exotic.

Anyone from arenanet can confirm about legendary transmutations pls?

Same for me. Now it is showing as Legendary in my inventory, but still exotic when I ping it.

At least they fixed it in my inventory i guess.

Any official statement yet about this? Id really like to transmute my legendary so that i can have the stats i want but im worried that itll still get downgraded and lose the chance to get buffed once ascended items get implemented.

Yes some official confirmation would be good; Can’t wait to change the stat to Berserker’s.

Doesn’t look like there’s an answer yet. I’m concerned as well. I’d actually like to transfer my Twilight to another character for purposes of changing my race, but I’m afraid it’s going to break upgrading to Eternity later.

So .. I have transmuted my legendaries week ago, they had exotic orange colour.

NOW they have Legendary colour back BUT, there is still ’’transmuted’’

Wellcome to the club
