Guild Wars 2

Just a caution for people who may not be looking in the BLT thread and might not be aware of this.

Transmutation splitters have been removed from the gemstore without notice. This has left several people with high level items that they transmuted onto low level stats (white or blue) in order to transfer between toons or to put in storage. although the upcoming April changes will make the skins available, it does not look like it will restore the stats to these items.

So just a caution not to transmute a high level skin onto a low level stat or you will lose everything but the skin itself unless ANet temporarily returns the splitters to the store so that we can restore our equipment before the update – which would be greatly appreciated!

(I do, of course, understand why they were removed – they don’t want people putting the skin of a legendary on a low level item after the 15th and then using a splitter to get a free legendary. But maybe, instead of removing them from the store, they could just deactivate splitters on the 15th? Please?)

the other reason they were removed is because 1 splitter = 5 charges for transmutation when the update hits
