Transmute a legendary
There are still some ‘issues’ with this. I believe it still shows up as legendary with purple font in your inventory, but if you try to link it in chat it shows up as exotic.

Why would you transmute a legendary?
Why would you transmute a legendary?
To get a different set of stats other than what comes on the weapon when its made.
If you choose to keep the skin of the legendary (and I assume you would) and the stats of the exotic then it becomes an exotic.
Essentially when you transmute items you’re putting the skin of one onto the other. I think of it as kind of like putting the circuit boards from one PC into the case of another. If you take a cheap Dell and put it into an Alienware case you haven’t just made a top-end machine cheaply, you’ve made a cheap one look expensive. Similarly if you transmute a legendary skin onto an exotic you haven’t made a legendary with new stats, you’ve made an exotic that looks like a legendary.

one of the patch note said that transmuting keeps the highest rarity now, if i were you i would test with green/blue first.
I move my twilight around from toon to toon via transmuting it onto a low level white sword making it account bound. Put it on the toon you want and transmute it back to whatever exotic you wish. Do not do this if you want it to show as purple when you link it to people. I could care less about that as I really made it for the skin design and wish to use it as I please.
ok thank you all x answers!
I’ll do a test between a blue and a green!
Though keep in mind that when they will upgrade the legendaries’ stats if you only keep the skin you will probably not benefit from the upgrade.
Never could understand why they didn’t add a type of process to change the stats of a legendary into the ones desired. We need to transmute it with an exotic to do just that…
ig – Where does a condition damage build get benefited from a legendary weapon?
