Guild Wars 2

Hey all,

I didn’t want to post this as a bug report because I’m not entirely sure that it is. However, the problem is frustrating all the same. I just purchased the Sylvari cultural tier 1 chest armor with the intention of transmuting its appearance onto my current level 80 masterwork chest armor.

The problem is that whenever I drag the level 80 armor into the transmutation window, the window appears red and will not let me even start the transmute process. It does not matter if I put the Sylvari armor in first or the level 80 armor in first; the window goes red for the level 80 armor regardless.

I have successfully transmuted many different pieces of armor, so I am confident that I understand the process and can’t seem to figure out why this particular transmutation is not working.

If anyone has any input on the issue, I would greatly appreciate it. If this is indeed a bug, and a CM notices this post, please move the post to the bug report sub-forum.

Thank you all for your consideration.

Once you start trying to transmute 80 armor, you’ll need the upgraded transmutation stones. I forget exactly what they are called, but they have a blue icon instead of the standard yellow ones. The yellow ones can be used to transmute any armor except level 80 pieces. Those level 80 stones are available at the gem shop, and apparently, can also be received as rewards.

If that’s not it, be sure that you bought the correct piece of cultural armor for your profession, and not a piece you can’t use.

Ah, I wasn’t aware that level 80 armor required a different transmutation stone (I just hit 80 a day or so ago). I will have to try that when I get home. Thanks for the reply.
