Guild Wars 2

Hello there,

I got a question regarding ascended weapons.

If I own a Hronk’s sword (white) and this stats are what I need and I also own an Occam’s sword (orange), which appereance I want to have, but not the stats and I transmute them, taking the stats of the white sword and the appereance of the orange sword, does the sword stay orange or does it automatically swap back to the white appereance because of the stats, which are from the white sword?

Thanks in advance.

The confusion here is that you’re talking about the colours of the skins (white and orange) while I originally thought you were talking about rarity (basic and exotic, which share those colours.)

Skin colour will not change based on the stats of the sword. If you choose the skin of Occam’s Razor and the stats of Hronk’s Razor, it will be an orange-coloured (ascended) item in the end.

Hronk’s sword is not white in stats, but on default it is ascended (though you can transmutate it to any quality).

transmutating means that you can combine 2 items together.
You got three choices to make
a: the skin and the name (choose one of either sword)
b: the stats, this includes the colour and the ability’s of upgrade and in the mystic forge).
c: the actual upgrade component (left out if not possible due to b)

So if you want the stats of Hronk’s and want the look of occam, you can use a transmuation crystal. both are ascended so you can pick the looks and name of one, and the stats of the other. off course it will say transmuted in the description instead of ascended, but it will be in ascended colour.

If you are not familiar with transmutating, I would advise to experiment and learn with lower level weapons and gear. both the cheaper transmutation stones and the gear are then mostly waste products and a good way to get the hang of things before you go to crystals and level 80 stats and gear.

Ok, well, I have to admit, taking white and orange as example wasn’t thought-out xD
Thanks for your answer, so it will be 1 of each, I just was concerned about the colour swapping back due to the stats^^
