Guild Wars 2

Hey all, had a question regarding the transmutation of my ascended armor.

I’ve got a human guardian with T3 cultural ascended armor, but I’ve been leveling a charr guardian as well and I bought a set of T3 charr cultural armor. Now I want to switch my ascended armor from my human T3 cultural to my charr T3 cultural.

Now of course I can’t equip my human T3 armor on my charr, so I can’t equip my ascended armor on my charr and transmute it to my charr T3 cultural armor. There is (I think) a way around this by transmuting the ascended T3 human cultural to a set that I can equip on my charr and then transmute it to charr T3 cultural afterwards, but this will cost me 12(!) charges.

So I was wondering if this is working as intended and that I’ll really have to spend 12 charges to switch the ascended armor to my charr or that I have it all wrong and that there still is some kind of way to “drag” the ascended armor and the charr T3 cultural in two different boxes and transmute them like the old system works.

Much appreciated!
