Q:

So, I blew all my gold on some new armor – all the same set – and for whatever reason it can’t be transmuted. It is not soulbound. I don’t know what’s up. Anybody know?

A:

Is it level 80? In which case you need a fine rather than basic transmutation stone.

Right. Just found out about that.

That’s a crock. I have to spend MORE money in the gem store now? I really feel like ANet is pushing the gem store too hard. It just seems like they go out of their way to force it on me. So this has made me decide that I’m done spending money there.

I don’t have time to farm gold just to look good either though, so I guess I’ll just have a plain looking PvE toon. No real loss for me. Eventually I’ll put enough together to exchange for some gems anyway.

Well, if you don’t want to spend gold on gems, feel free wasting like 40h doing some ’’condtinent’’ and receiving better transmutations stones as reward.
Personally I’d rather spend 3.7g on 5 stones, but it’s only me.

It’s not as if getting fine transmutation stones for free is hard… I had at least 20 before I had enough money for 1 piece of 80 armor, let alone a full set.

That’s probably what I will do.

You must be a very lucky guy. I have two 80’s one 64 and one 34 and have never gotten a fine transmutation stone.

Fine transmutation stones can drop from black lion chests. If you complete a zone, there’s a chance of getting a key as a reward. You will also earn 3 black lion keys during your personal story between level 1-50.

I’ve not opened a lot of them. But I’ve not gotten any from the ones I’ve opened. For now I suspect it will be faster to just run AC a few times and have the gold to buy them. I complete maps to level my alts anyway, so maybe I’ll get some. Thanks.

Thank you for the suggestions everybody.
