Guild Wars 2

So the thing is like this, I’m planning to make an infused Ascended back piece from scratch, then to transmute my Slickpack skin (currently applied on a Rare back piece) onto it when it’s finished, so I wouldn’t lose the skin when mystic forging it to the Infused version.

However, getting 250 more Glob of Ectoplasm is not easy task for me, I don’t really want to wait that long to finally be able to transmute the skin.

I’m wondering that:
if say I transmuted the skin onto the non-infused Ascended back piece right now, then one day when I get 250 Glob of Ectoplasm, I use Transmutation Splitter on the back piece to separate them, can the non-infused Ascended back piece still be put into Mystic Forge for crafting the infused version?

I checked the wiki, but it only says the items will be soulbound while not mentioning anything about if any of the items would still be in “transmuted” status (which I believe can’t be used as ingredient in MF).

I would greatly appreciate the help, thanks.

You can do that, you’ll just need an extra Transmutation Crystal reapply the skin since the item you get back for the skin is not a skin item(things that can be used to apply a look without using a Transmutation Crystal) but an actual piece of equipment.

There is no problem with forging transmuted items. The only time there is an issue is if you are trying to use the item providing the look as a forge ingredient. Basically an item is considered to be whichever item is providing the stats.

Awesome then, thanks a lot for the help

If you don’t mind, I got another questions after looking over your answer:

- If my Slickpack was initially an unused skin, and was applied to that back piece. Then I used the splitter, would it be separated back as an unused skin, or another soulbound item with the skin?

You get back another soulbound item with the skin. That is the reason you need to use a Transmutation Crystal.

I see then, thanks again for the help
