Guild Wars 2

How about we make a recipe in the mystic forge, 5 transmutation stones + 1 crystal + 1 pile of crystalline dust + 1 glob of ectoplasm = 1 transmutation crystal, would help out with everyone who has 50+ transmutation stones and no idea what to do with them….
And make the recipe drop from fractals, so people who do fractals actually get something, and the recipe shouldn’t be account bound or soul bound, it can be tradeable, and you need 400 jeweler to learn the recipe, thoughts?

I’d be happy with a 10:1 or even 25:1 conversion rate…anything is better than the stacks of useless Stones clogging up my bank.

I like the idea of it being a mystic forge recipe. Currently trans stones are a useless item. For real useless, not just outgrown.

Even a lvl 10 dagger can be salvaged and is never really useless. There is no use whatsoever for a trans stone to a lvl 80 character.

Agreed. I have a bunch of these and absolutely no use for them. I hate throwing things away.

And jeopardize their sales of the all-time best-selling item in the gemstore?

In your dreams!

I agree with this 100%. There are some players who cannot afford to pay real money to buy gems or waste all the gold it takes to exchange just to buy the crystals.

I think if the conversion rate was high enough, people would still buy the level 80 variant. 25:1 or 35:1. Anything higher is just insulting and a blatant attempt to make you purchase things while patronizing you and saying, “Look, we gave you what you asked for . . . kind of.”

Transmutation crystals can be got in game too. I have 9 and all of them came from Black Lion Chests. But I DO support this too! I keep receiving stones from map completion (while my husband receives all the keys, it’s not fair!) and I really don’t know what to do with them!

I mean, if you have a character that you’re wanting to look a certain way under 80, I suppose it’s cool. But right now I’m pushing so hard to 80 on my main (I only picked up the game this month) that I don’t have time to care what he looks like beyond changing dyes. Once I’m 80, I’ll want the style to match the color scheme to match the race/profession to match my playstyle. I’m just not to that point yet, and I would love a way to convert the unused 79 and under tokens.
