I used to get transmutation stone drops but no longer get them. When I say transmutation stone I mean the stones that you could change your characters appearance. Not sure if the correct term is transmutation stone.

Any way, I those used to drop for me and no longer do. Are they buy only items now or do they still drop every blue moon ?

I am not an expert on this, but I believe that Arenenet has gone to transmutation charges…a form of currency of a sort. All of the stones and crystals in your inventory should have either been converted or be easily converted to these charges, which reside in your wallet. I still get the random transmutation charge, sometimes in zone completion boxes or other random rewards. You double-click to consume them and then they go into your wallet. Being in the wallet, they are account bound. When you go to transmute something, it will bring up a screen that tells you how many charges it will cost.

Again…I am not an expert in this…some others might be able to give you a better rundown but I believe this is pretty much how it works now.

Yeah, charges are what I meant but I didn’t mean the ones that altered your characters wardrobe appearance, I’m referring to the ones that you can change your characters physical appearance ( Hair, eyes, body etc. ) I used to get drops where this could be done. I no longer get them so I was wondering if they stopped letting them drop or if they drop less or are they buy only items now.

Thanks for your response.

The last time I opened Black Lion Chests (within the last month or so) I got both a hair kit and a total makeover. I think they may still rarely come from doing dailies.

They’ve always been fairly rare as “drops” from either source, though, so you’re likely just facing RNG.

Ah Okay, " kits " is the correct pronunciation. Excuse my noobiness but what does RNG stand for ?

RNG= Random Number Generator, used to determine which garbage drop we will recieve.
