Guild Wars 2

Hello,
normally if I wanted to upgrade my wvw armor to ascended I used a transmutation stone. I choosed: wvw-skin + old rune + ascended stats

If I understood it right I can now put the wvw skin directly on the ascended armor but the rune remains on the old armor.
Thats quite unfortunate, because you can’t salvage wvw armors and the extractor is even more expensive then any rune.

Even without having a wvw armor I would have to waste a Black Lion Salvage Kit charge, but I wouldn’t grief over this.
So the easiest way would be to make the wvw armor salvageable.

What should I do?

If you want the rune off of it, the cheapest way would be to transmute it to a blue lvl 80 armor and then salvage the blue armor.

Or you just transmute it to ascended, like you done before.

Unfortunatly I have this on 2 characters (8 pieces in total on wvw equip). I don’t have the Gold/Laurels/Materials for 8 pieces to make it ascended.
For the trick with the blue… that should work. I would just waste about 25 Gold for tansmutation Stones + the Price for new Armor so that the characters are useable until I can upgrade the Items.

Other solutions are welcome
