Guild Wars 2

Good morning guys,

I cannot understand how this thing works, I want to transmute few weapons but I don’t want to screw things up…

1) lvl 69 axe(cool skin) and lvl 80 axe(bad skin) —> I want the cool skin on the stats of the lvl 80, should I buy a transmutation crystal ? which one goes left and which one goes right ?

2) Ascended sword (cool skin) and lvl80 exotic sword —> can I apply the ascended skin to the exotic sword ?

Yes if you want the level 80 skin you would need the transmution crystal. It dont matter which weapon goes into what side as you can switch the stats and skins around until you are satisfied with the final look.
Yes you can apply the ascended skin to the exotc weapon.

But If I where you I would wait until the April patch (April 15) since you then will have the wardrobe and potetiall more skins.

Thanky you man I will wait then.

It doesnt matter what slot you put the items in, you get three choices in the UI. The skin, the stats, and the rune. So you click the skin you want, click the stats you want, and click the rune you want

Though like said above on april 15th transmutation stones will turn into charges at a 3:1 ratio (3 stones = 1 charge) that can be used on level 80 armor and weapons.
