Guild Wars 2

With transmutation crystals and stones getting a conversion rate of 1:1 and 3:1 after April’s patch, will there even be a conversion rate for splitters? Splitters currently costs about 300 gems for 1 and Transmutation Crystals costs 200 gems for 5 charges. Any infos about this?

The FAQ said Splitters would turn into 5 charges (stones are 3→1 and crystals are 1→1 so 1→5 is darn nice).

I am debating getting splitters so I can have the temple gear looks unlocked as I’ve covered over most of them, but that seems pricey and right now I frankly have little interest in spending gems due to the town clothes issue. I can just pay karma over time if I really want the skins.

I think there’d be an issue if the splitters automatically convert…

From the blog post:

“Use a Transmutation Splitter on any transmuted items if you want to have access to the stats of both components. For example, if you transmuted a high-end piece of gear with a white item to get around soulbinding restrictions, you’ll probably want to use a Transmutation Splitter to retain the stats of the high-end gear, now that you’ll be able to give that appearance to any character on your account.”

If they automatically convert after the patch you won’t be able to get the stats back

I believe that was their admonition to do it before the patch so you keep all the skins.

… not that I have the faintest idea what items I ditched stats on for looks.

Yeah, probably is. They could have spelt it out though.
