Guild Wars 2

Hi

If you transmute a skin of a legendary weapon.. will it still retain its visual effect.. specially the shortbow.. it is a terrible skin for a lengedary.. but its visual effects are great.. so if I transmute it.. can I still shoot unicorns? and have horse footprints?

Thanks

The visual effects are attached to the weapon skin. Think of them as the same thing.

Why would you transmute a legendary now anyway? You can change the stats when you’re not in combat so there’s no point.

the skin of the shortbow is terrible for a legendary compared to other legendaries

If all you’re looking to do is change the skin then I recommend making an ascended short bow. If you do what you’re proposing it’ll loose its status as a legendary weapon and you won’t be able to change the stats on it. On top of that, you will loose a lot of the visual effects.

its basically all or nothing the effects are connected to the skin. Change the skin lose the affects.
