Guild Wars 2

It would be nice if it was possible to transmute items without destroying the originals, so that if you had a couple items you like the look of, you could rotate between them without having to require them, (assuming you could in the first place!). Similarly, it would also be nice if you could restore an item to it’s default skin.

Basically, I wish transmutation stones used the same approach as WoW’s transmogrification.

I agree only on the restoration part. I think we should be able to restore items to their default looks and get those two trasmuted items we used back.

That would work too.

Or an item, similuar to those one can obtain as a reward for playing Guild Wars 1, that contains the previous “skin” of the restored item, giving us a chance to apply it to another item.

I think you’d eventually forget what the original skin was. If you transmute more than once, transferring the skin one time, then the stats the next, then…o crap what was it again? It says super shield, but it used to be verdant I think, and before that…lionguard? And would it revert to the verdant or the lionguard? Which was technically “the 1st”?

Unless the item is damaged… Then it displays the name of the original item, oddly enough.

Disagree, it’s a good gold sink and I welcome any gold sinks that will help keep this game going.

And what if it’s an item that can’t be reaquired?
