So I looked up on the wiki how to do it and I try to add the 4 parts together in the Forge and it will not allow me to add the exotic inscription.

Here is the wiki page showing the 4 required items:

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mystic_Forge

Here is what it says:

Ascended equipment prefix change

Ascended quality weapons and armor can have their attribute bonuses changed. A new ascended item is generated in this process and the old item is destroyed, along with any skin transmutation and any upgrade components slotted in it.

Ingredients:

1 Ascended weapon Original ascended weapon
1 Exotic inscription for the desired stats
5 Glob of Ectoplasm
1 Anthology of Heroes

Could you provide a screenshot of what you are trying to put in the forge? Just so we can make sure you aren’t accidentally doing something erroneous. Also, try entering the 4 items in a different order. This has worked for me in the past.

Assuming you are trying to use Trailblazer, which does not work. It is unclear whether this is something that will be fixed or this is the intended behavior and the other expertise/concentration sets are not intended to work.

I’ve been able to convert to viper’s, so at least some of the 4 stats work. I have not tried to convert from any of the 4 stat combinations, so I can’t comment on that.

If you are trying to switch to dire, you are probably doing something wrong. You sure you have an exotic inscription and not an insignia (or insignia if you are changing stats on armor)? You wouldn’t be the first to make that mistake.

The others work, it just isn’t clear whether Trailblazer is the one that is bugged. Wanze has suggested that perhaps the others are bugged because it is much cheaper to stat swap than to craft something that requires jeweled damask. That seems like a strange situation.

OK I tried them in a different order and they worked. Thank you for the help!
