Guild Wars 2

Hello so i was looking at the picture for the new account wardrobe and dye system and i was wondering why this is going to have charges now if you look at the picture in the link to the right you will see what im talking about

Yes, this has been known. Transmutation Charges are pretty much Transmutation Crystals. The Crystals, Stones, and Splitters will become Transmutation charges, actually. The rates of conversion are:

1:1 Crystals (The 79 and lower Transmutes)
3:1 Stones (The 80 Transmutes)
5:1 Splitters

[Edit]: So if you have 100 crystals, 50 stones, and 5 splitters, you’ll end up with 275 Transmutation charges.

100 Crystals = 100 Charges
50 Stones = 150 Charges
5 Splitters = 25 Charges

100 Crystals = 100 Charges
50 Stones = 150 Charges
5 Splitters = 25 Charges

You have the crystals and stones the wrong way around. Crystals are for level 80 gear and have a conversion rate of 1:1 with suggests that the Stones (being the lesser version) rate of 3:1 is also the opposite way around to what you’ve said. so 50 stones will infact only give you 16 charges.

Where was that said? That contradicts what I’ve seen/read elsewhere…

There, fixed, and still equals 275.

ok how would you get these is it an item mall thing or do you get them for like completing maps or something

Transmutation stones are generally aquired as a reward for map completion and an occasional reward for daily achievement. Crystals and splitters are purchased from the gem store.

As for conversion, this is a direct quote from the blog… “Transmutation Crystals can be directly converted into charges, and Transmutation Stones can be converted at a
three-to-one rate.” Also, for more of a break down, this comes from the GW2 help website…
3 Transmutation Stones = 1 Transmutation Charge
1 Transmutation Crystal = 1 Transmutation Charge
1 Transmutation Splitter = 5 Transmutation Charges

Nice reading fail.

Side-note, you can earn charges in sPvP

1:1 crystals
3:1 stones

At the ratios they gave us, 100 stones = 33 charges and 50 crystals = 50 charges.

There, now it’s fixed

Well, that’s pretty dumb to be honest. Can’t say I’m happy with this change now. Transmutation costs too much. Heck I’ve got almost 200 Transmute Stones, and I generally use those to update a character’s gear while leveling them so they don’t look like a scrub. I do that every 10 levels. That’d be 60 transmute charges once they get to 80.

I hope Anet changes this somehow or makes acquiring charges -much- easier.

If the system works as advertised then it would be much better than the current system already. Can’t really ask for more than this.

If anyone is worried about charges then they can try farming for transmutation stones now and convert them when the update comes. Currently stones are pretty much wasted items since few people stay at sub lv 80 for very long with the levelling being so fast in this game.

I like to level up in style.

They’ve already announced that transmutation charges will be rewarded from pvp. I like dat.
