Guild Wars 2

Question in the title.

I’ve had a search here and on other forums – most discussions seem to be at least a month old, so I just wanted to check before going for this.

Have an asura mesmer in the Priory and I’d like to use the Vigil light armour for her, so I’ve started levelling an asura guardian to join the vigil and get the armour. Just to check the method:
- buy armour
- transmute to white items
- transfer to mesmer
- transmute looks to armour (exotic?) with stats of choice.

Is it still possible to do, or has the recent patch changed anything?
If I transmute the look onto exotic armour, will it keep the exotic stats or will they be scaled back to rare stats?

Cheers.

Yes this still works, the colour of the armor name will be orange, but the the status will say transmutated where it normally say exotic.

Thanks.

I’ve never done this before, so do the exotic stats themselves remain the same when changing the looks to Vigil?

Yip they stay the same

Fantastic, thanks.
