Guild Wars 2

I have questions about a bug with a set of 6 superior runes showing 12/6. There are several posts on the issue from months ago, but I can’t tell if there was any resolution. Someone said to “go to the Mists and change the runes on your armor there” but I don’t do PvP and have no idea how to do that or if it would actually make the mess worse if I tried to. These runes cost a fair amount and I do not want to trash them. Since I can’t find a coherent conversation on this topic, I am creating a new thread to see if I can sort it out. Thanks

Not only that, but theres also a bug with the Underwater sets!
I have 5 Runes on my gear + a sixth on my Aqua Breather and a Crest on my Footwear.

Still, I get displayed that I have all 6 rune upgrades active.
(This raises the whole Aqua Breather problems again which I have tried to point to in another post: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Aqua-Rebreather-Proposal/first#post1443185 )
Please fix this and also try to educate players through tooltips more in regards to this.
Most players, I reckon, don’t even know that there is an lvl 80 aqua breather out there!

Jeffrey, would this issue affect transmutation of the rune to other armor?

Transmuting turned out to not be a problem on second try. My Sylvari looks great in her new cultural armor.
