Guild Wars 2

That might seem like a stupid question, but there are 31 in my bank, yet the currency tab says I have 10? Does this mean the currency tab is wrong, or are those 10 different from the ones in my bank, so I actually have 41? I finally hit 80 last night (yay!) and intend to use those transmutation shards soon, so it would be nice to know how many I have.

Transmutation charges that you can put in the bank, as below

need to be used before they will be added to your currencies. They do nothing in the bank – so just take them out, double click them, and they will be added to the others, which the game pulls from when changing skins.

So yes, you have 41.

Oooooh… thanks, yet another thing to learn.

Btw in a related topic, I got 100% map completion for Caledon last night with my lvl 80, but I didn’t get any more transmutation shards? Did they change it? And if so, how do I get more of them?

Well, in any non-city map, there should be a chance you get either a transmutation charge, or a black lion key – you won’t get both, and the key is worth a bit more. You can go for the cities though for a guaranteed charge.

If you don’t have any more maps to complete, or space for newly created characters to complete them, or just want them faster, jump into pvp – just about any reward track will give you some, and you can jump into a room made for dailies if you don’t want to go into an (un)ranked match.

Ah, I see. I did get a key. Just found it strange, as I’ve always gotten a transmutation charge before. Maybe it was just my luck.

Getting keys you don’t pay for is rare indeed. Be glad you got one! Even if it almost always turns into three fairly useless items, there is the teensiest tiniest chance you could get something awesome like a Permanent Hair Stylist Kit.
