Ah, I never actually clicked on the items. Never really occured to me to try it, nor was their any indication telling me to do that (That I saw anyways). So this was indeed my own ignorance. Thank you for the help. It worked.
No problem. I remember trying to figure it out when I first tried to use one. There is no guidance or explanation on it, so I completely understand.
Keep in mind, that the final product retains the level requirement of the stats you select. So in this above case, were you to select the stats of the level 80 item, the end product would be a level 80, if you selected the stats of the level 70 item then the end product would be level 70. This is especially important if you want the appearance of a level 80 item on, say, your level 20 character. You would select the appearance of the 80 item and the stats of the 20 item you plan to use, this way your character can actually use it as the end product would be level 20.
Also take note, if you try to include the rune (or a sigil) of the higher level item in the transmute window, then the end product must meet the level requirements for the rune. So if you have a level 20 armor item, and you’re trying to grab the appearance of a level 80 armor item that also has a superior rune on it, then you cannot include the rune in the end product as Superior runes require a level 60 armor item.
I hope you don’t run into any more issues now that you know the mechanics of transmuting. But if you do, don’t hesitate to ask for a hand again
Just chiming in to say that I too banged my head against the keyboard when I used my first transmutation stone. I had no idea you had to click on the different parts for it to work, it just isn’t all that self-explanatory!!
Also, the items don’t have to be in your bag, you can be wearing one when you transmute, I’ve done it before. And regarding StinVec’s explanation, you can’t use basic transmutation stones for level 80 gear, you have to use fine transmutation stones which you get mostly in the gem store (a guildmate told me she found some in a chest, but I’ve never had any drop for me).
Happy transmuting!

I know originally you could transmute an item while you were wearing it, but then it changed and it had to be in your bag. I guess that has changed once again. lol
They had mentioned they were using a fine transmutation stone. I’m not sure if that was intentionally used due to the requirement, or just the only stone they had available to them to use. I was going to mention something about that too, but I’m glad you did now Though if you’re in a pinch, you can use a Fine stone on sub-80 items, you don’t have to have a level 80 item to use it. That got me for a while too until I read its description better.

I’ve gotten Fine Transmutation Stones in Black Lion Chests (very, very rarely) and I’ve also gotten some in Daily Completion Reward chests, as well as from doing my main story quests…though I haven’t gotten any in a very long time.
