Guild Wars 2

First off, i don’t have a legendary, and don’t plan on obtaining one anytime soon, this is a question straight out of curiosity and to receive an answer to tell my friends who DO have a legendary…

Many players have transmuted their legendary to keep the skin but change the stats of the item, with the upgrading of legendaries, will transmuted ones receive the upgrade?

If so, does that mean people who transmuted their legendaries onto weapons UNDER 80 will receive level 80 stats on their legendary? (Ex. Level 10’s running around with transmuted Twilight with lvl 80 stats)

To transmute legendary to a level 10 weapon, u can only get the skin but not the stats

Correct, but that is the question, if you transmute a legendary just for the skin, to another weapon, would it receive the upgraded stats mentioned in the blog? My guess would be no, but i wanted a confirmed answer from Anet

“Legendary gear…will not be made more powerful than other gear, it will simply be slightly more convenient since it will no longer need transmutations to change stats.”

What I get from this is that it will have the same stats as the current highest tier of weapons (right now it’s exotic. My untransmuted Bifrost has the same PVT stats as an exotic Ghastly staff from AC, although my Bifrost is purple and the Ghastly is orange). When ascended weapons come out, the stats of my Bifrost will be auto-upgraded to match the ascended weapons stats.

I also have a Twilight that I’ve transmuted. It’s still purple and legendary but it says “transmuted” in its description. Will it be auto-upgraded too? I don’t know but of course I hope so. If it doesn’t get auto-upgraded it’s going to severely negatively affect my desire to make more legendaries and ANET doesn’t want that I’m sure.

I also hope we can transfer legendaries between our toons easily without removing their legendary status and upgrades.

I would imagine that only Legendaries with Legendary stats will be upgraded. Can you see the potential issue of upgrading anything with a Legendary skin if said weapon is being wielded by a level 10 character. Level 10 characters cannot wield a level 80 stat weapon so what would happen? Their Legendary would probably be destroyed or something nasty. If you transmuted it onto lower stats then it’s your own fault >.>

Uh, just make it so that you have to be level 80 to equip it if it has the ascended stats? Plenty of simple ways to stop that.

You can’t transmute level 80 items to items below level 80. But you can transmute a legendary item to a basic (white) level 80 item.

Say that to my level 7 Warrior with Twilight and bolt.

So are the stats level 80 too or do you just have a purple legendary skin with level 7 stats?

But really I hope they give us the full upgrade. Because if they don’t it’s like ANET is punishing us for buying gems to get transmutation stones.

Second option.
