Guild Wars 2

I have a two part question.

First of all… the people who used transmutation stones on their legendaries with the stats from an exotic weapon… when they decide to implement Ascended weapons and legendaries get bumped up… wont those people be at a huge disadvantage since they transmuted the stats from an exotic weapon?

Also… for all the work put into acquiring precursors… will precursors be left at exotic level or will they also be bumped up to Ascended level? I’m also curious about other rare/hard to get exotic skins which require a lot of mats such as Valcanus, Vision of the Mists, etc… will these also be bumped up to Ascended level as well since they are so expensive/grindy to make?

I am very concerned.

I’m not sure if I worded my concerns in a way people could understand. So I decided to do a tl;dnr version.

Will transmuted Legendaries also be bumped up to Ascended status?

and

Well precursors and other difficult to obtain exotics be bumped to Ascended status as well?

Unless a dev happens to come by and leak that information, I dont think you are going to get your anwser.

Very good question though! I really hope the developers are keep that in mind as they move forward.

Since there’s not any ascended weapons in game, the question requires a fortune-teller.

I’d think a transmuted exotic will not have its stats adjusted, because transmutation makes it a different item. But quite simply a fine transformation stone and the legendary skin could be transmuted again onto whatever weapon you want.

Edit (forgot the other question):
I don’t think it’s a good idea to elevate precursors to ascended status when ascended weapons are added, because that would mean you’d need to Mystic Forge ascended weapons for a small chance and exotic weapons for an even smaller chance to get them (whereas now we can gamble with rare).
