Guild Wars 2

Would using the skin from a legendary on another weapon to get the stats take away from the item being a legendary? Say i used Sunrise and a Pearl crafted greatsword, would it still be Sunrise but with different stats?

Edit: Also would like to know if doing so would still allow me to use it to create Eternity.

Minilys.4765:

Item rarity is taken from the skin rather than from the stats, so yes, it’d still be legendary.

No. Item rarity is determined by stats, not skin, since rarity and level requirement together determine the values of the stats, while item name and skin are both just visual aspects.

Consequently, the legendary status is lost, however, Devs said they want to address that problem concerning legendaries (and precursers I think).

Item rarity is taken from the skin rather than from the stats, so yes, it’d still be legendary. However, I don’t know if legendaries can be used with transmutation stones in the first place and it’d be kitten expensive just for a skin.

I assume id be able to because it seems really stupid on Anets part to just have one stat set for it. It would force you into one role.

for now, i wouldn’t try it until we hear more official word from the Devs. though they did mention it is something they were looking into as well.

ummmm rarity is in skin not stats last i checked. i dont know about legendaries though

Referring to what specifically?

Because what I wrote was not meant to be for legendaries only, but a general explanation.

Are you sure?

I’ve used some low lvl blue skins on my exotics and they stay or turn into exotics.

The rarity is most definitely in the stats not the skin. Anyone that says otherwise is trolling because they are wrong.

I’d rather assume they just didn’t know better, misunderstood or don’t know about the specific term “rarity” here or used the typical “It seems logical to me so I just declare it as true for myself”-method.

But yeah, they are wrong.

they must have changed it in a recent patch because when i transmuted rare stats into a blue it stayed blue colored text. im not trolling :|
