Guild Wars 2

Greetings fair forum denizens. I’ve been wanting to wear my universal multitool pack on my Engineer, but since I did the Halloween event, I have a higher stats item. I’ve tried to find back items to transmute it with, but it doesn’t seem to want to trasmute with anything. I missed the Winter event, so I can’t use the pack from there.

I’ve been gone for a few months, so for all I know, something changed. Any help?

(If it helps at all, my pack also seems to be missing its upgrade slot.)

afaik, you need a fine xmute stone. if you’ve tried that, then it may not be possible.
for me, knowing how xmutes work, I now have a lvl 80 toymaker bag and I regret not taking the goggles at char creation.

:s

Ah! That did it. Gracias.

Create a new engineer character with goggles. Transmute it with any non-bound white or blue headgear using regular stone. The resulting headgear is account bound. You can put it in the bank, get with main engi and transmute with lvl 80 headgear using fine stone. Enjoy.

Don’t you need to be level 10 to transmute the lowest level headgear?

No. Just buy any helmet from market.

yep, worked like a charm.

received a PM as well about this.

learned my new thing for the day!

im outta here!

does it work if i take a thief hood and place it on my engi?

i accidentally sold off my back pack…and now i cant get it back. Bloody hell…created a new engineer to transmute the bag but its still soul bound. Unbelievable that Anet didnt even bother to give us engineers some engineer bag packs designs along the game.

What can the pack be transmuted to? I tried transmuting it with a random back-brace, but that didn’t work… maybe because it didn’t have a model?

Also you can now transfer over the engineer backpack to another character easier than ever since the quaggan backpack release. When you buy the quaggan backpack you also get a white backpiece. use that to transfer over to any character you desire.

backpacks are tricky because you need a lvl 10 white item to xmute with. afaik there are no lvl 10 white back slot items. the quaggan route is your best bet.

kitten quaggans. i hates them.

Cheers! I am off to make nice glowing eyes for my elementalist and/or memser. Or perhaps get a storm eye. So many nice options.
