Guild Wars 2

Hey there,

I was wondering:

If I transmute a level 80 weapon with a level X weapon using a transmutation crystal,
can I transmute this level X weapon then afterwards using a normal transmutation stone?

It would be awesome if someone knew

Thank you very much in advance

So long as what you transmute it to is not 80th level.

Any time either a source or destination is 80, you need a crystal. Otherwise, stone.

Edit: And I ‘always’ forget this when I plan. I wanted to put the Whispers legs and boots on my Elementalist, who happens to be Priory. So my Ranger, who is Whispers, bought the legs and boots for my Elementalist, and I figured that’d be 2 crystals, which isn’t so bad. But, I always forget it’s really ‘4’, b/c the Ranger needs to put them onto some whites to make them account bound and put them in the bank (using the white’s stats). That’s 2, b/c the source are both 80. The Elementalist takes them out and applies them to whatever exotic 80 armor she wants to (in this case, magic find gear). That’s 2 more crystals going from some < 80 whites to exotic…which are both 80.

cool… thanks alot for your explanation

Hmmmm….
1: Buy the item thats in the right order.
2: buy as cheap level 5 white item on the tp (or keep a drop) for 5 copper or so and use a transmutation crystal to transder the skin to.
3: place the level 5 accountbound item in the bank
4: use a 2th crystal to put the skin on an exotic item on the character you want it with.

Still only 2 crystals used.

I had 2 items I needed to transmute in my example, which was lost in the example, sorry.

So I had to do your list…twice. Which was why I needed 4.

My edit was how I always mess up thinking that doing a cross-faction move will just cost me 1 per item, and I always forget that I have to do it twice per item.

On a total suck up side note, always appreciate your input in my own and others’ threads.
