Guild Wars 2

Can you please make transmutations bellow level 80 free please? Before the update I would transmute my full armor each 10 levels, and at level 80 I would buy the transmutes from the gem store to transmute that final armor. Now since the update I have so few transmutation charges that I can’t afford to spend them before level 80, hence looking horrible. I don’t think its fair that we have to spend lots of real money or tons of gold if we want to look decent before level 80.

Transmute only chest and legs while leveling, so you need only a third of what you needed before.

That doesnt solve the problem :s

There are some trade offs, back then you needed to spend a few gold just to change the look at lvl 80 and under lvl 80 it was almost for free.
Now it is very easy to change the look at lvl 80 and a bit more expensive under level 80.

What Beldin meant is that now you get 1/3 of the transmutations you used to get, complete city map still grants a free charge instead of 3 stones before update, so if you spend 1/3 of what you used to spend then nothing will change for you.

Make salvaging transmuted items give the transmutation charge back.

A) buy armor less frequently to start. Every 10 levels is a bit overkill IMO. I think level 10, level 35, level 60, level 80 are good spots to upgrade armor.

B) map completion can give xmute charges, as can PvP, if you don’t want to pay for it. You can also buy gems with gold, so you don’t have to dip into your wallet.

In the end, yes the xmute change hurt non-80s a bit while making it significantly better for level 80s (having 150 xmute stones vs. like 6 xmute crystals was a completely horrible system because most people are 80 for the majority of their playing time so those stones were useless).

Buying transmutation charges isn’t like buying a full skin set from the gem store; it’s only 150 gems for 5… that really isn’t expensive.
Personally, I love the way transmutation works now.
