Guild Wars 2

I noticed that once an item is transmuted, you can’t do anything else with the armor piece to change its appearance. The only way to get back to the original appearance is by getting a new armor piece. The fact it has to be like this, makes me kind of think that… Every time I do plan to use a transmute, I have to be 100% sure that I want to have that appearance, and there is no way back unless I get a brand new armor piece.

I feel like it shouldn’t be like that. I feel like there should be like a preview window of what the transmuted item would be once the process is done. (This is for instance with new transmute item we have no idea what the end appearance will look like) Or there could be an item that grant us reversed the process of the transmute, leaving us back to the original state.

In the first place these transmute stones are rewards from completing maps, story rewards and so forth. I think that Arenanet choosed to make an item such as reverse the transmute it would be a win situation by adding it to the gem store. Its a good marketing for both players and the company. I also never understood the reason, once an armor/ weapon is transmuted you can’t transmute it again. What’s the benefit of this? What’s the reason for making it this way?

I want to hear what the community have to say about this, cause I think that inventing an item that could reverse the transmute or have an infinity transmute would be much better for the community. It doesn’t harm anyone and it makes people want to explore the ways of transmuting a weapon/armor piece, without getting new armor piece every time they want to try something new.

You can preview a item before you transmute it.

I only had this problem with heritage armour and other Hall of Monument rewards. That you can not preview. Would have been nice to have so I agree with this.

On normal armour pieces you can easily preview first though.
