Guild Wars 2

Just a brief backstory first.

In my months of playing guild wars i have been slowly gathering “Gifts” required for legendaries. The problem i keep running into is the legendary particle effects of the Weapon i want dont quite match up with the “Look” of my character, but i find that other legendary particle effects would be awsome if i could put them on my current weapons.

To give an example of a character look. Female Human in full Arah Dungeon Light armor dyed in Abyss Dye. The character looks evil and menacing and currently uses a scythe staff skin. If i were to use the legendary “The Bilfrost” my Evil character would be running around with a rainbow staff. That just does not mix in my books. Now imaging taking the particle effects off of “Twilight” and applying them on to the Scythe Staff, that would look evil.

I am suggesting that in the future we enable Transmuation Stones to have a particle effect addition and eventually allow us to simply Transmuate particle effects from one type of weapon onto another.

seen this mentioned before and alot of people (including myself) totally agree with this. Even more options to customise ones characters is never a bad thing for us or Anet. We get shiny toons we think look cooler while Anet gets more dosh from Gem sales. Win/Win

End Game in this game is completly cosmetic based and not stat based and thats why i totally love it. Rather then spending hours grinding for slight upgrades in stats i get to find new and exciting looks for each of my characters. Having a large variety of customization options just makes players want to try more things.

Many players i have talked to dont bother grinding for a legendary simply cause they dont like the look or effect of their specific main weapon, but like effects of others, Twilight being a big one. Being able to take effects off a legendary and apply it to a different weapon might make more people start their legendary grind.

If we get more people to post and reply to this and other threads maybe the Devs will listen and add this feature

I agree with the OP, some of the legendaries just are not appealing cause of the particle effects whereas others are more appealing. Being able to use a stone to transfer the effects would be awsome

come on. dont more people wanna see this happen

Be glad it isn’t as ridiculous as the Legendary Mace!

I agree whole-heartedly that something has to be done.

Hey i think it would be funny walking around with a disco ball, but only from an RP stand point. Yes like 50% of the legendaries have crap effects. The scepter comes to mind.

Disco Ball… Meh.

Try being a classic dark archer-type stuck with a My Little Pony bow that shoots rainbows…

yep or my grim reaper looking Ele. im keeping my scythe over The Bilfrost ((The Bifrost is surrounded by an ever glowing rainbow colored aura, leaving behind a faint trail of light when swung)) i feel your pain
