Guild Wars 2

I’m sorry if this has been posted before, didn’t see it using search (which doesn’t mean a whole lot).

I had a stack of Fine Transmutation Stones, and I wanted to combine my Phalanx Armor Skin (which had been applied to PVT armor with Runes of the Soldier) to Temple Armor (Heavy Aurora from Melandru). It worked with the Helmet and Foot Gear from the Temple (which do not have PVT stats) but will not work with the other four pieces.

I think there’s an issue here with trying to combine two same-stat-combination armors (even if they have different skins, and different upgrade items). This is extremely frustrating and means I’ll need to spend more to get more transmutation stones to transfer the Temple Armor to another stat combination and THEN to my old skin (I’ve tried this, it fixed the problem for one piece). That should be stated on the transmutation stone description, or fixed.

Thanks

I believe this issue will be cured a week from tomorrow when all your skins go into the “wardrobe” and then you use a charge (3 stones, 1 crystal, 1/5 splitter) to apply it to the stat item.

Interesting point, though, will transmuting no longer be a way to transfer runes? I shall inquire in the Q&A thread.

You might wanna keep from using the stones, they’ll be converted into transmutation charges, one charge = one tm crystal.

As stones are usable up until 79, after that they’re pretty worthless right now, but after the feature pack update, all stones are converted into charges at 3:1 ratio (3 stones becomes 1 charge and 1 charge = 1 crystal)

Although the rune transfer question does make me wonder how that works after the feature pack update.
