Legendary transmute bugs
And can we get an achievement for wearing legendary weapon Sunrise or Twilight?
If you transmute a Lendary, it displays as Purple, both in tooltip and linked. The quality, however, reads as “Transmuted” rather than “Legendary”. It does not take on the suffix of any sigil you apply. A transmuted Sunrise or Twilight will not currently go into the forge with Dust or Philosopher Stones.
As for Ascended, I’ve heard no word about whether transmuting a Legendary will prevent it from auto-ascending when weapons are released, but the fact that transmuted legendaries can be mixed with exotic weapons in the forge leads me to believe that the game still registers them as exotic somewhere, so they may not initially. This could be fixed by the time ascended weapons are released, or it could be fixed shortly after; it’s hard to say.
I have Sunrise and I have the badge on my character screen as well as a count on the Legendary Collector achievement. I don’t know if you will get these if you equip after transmuting, so I would suggest equipping your new Legendary at least once before transmuting.
“First of all: I am tired. I am true of heart!
And also: You are tired. You are true of heart!”
And also: You are tired. You are true of heart!”
By the way, I decided to transmute my Sunrise with the stats I wanted.
If I don’t transmute, and transmuted weapons don’t get ascended, I have to go about getting myself an ascended weapon with the stats I want and transmute it to my legendary.
If I don’t transmute, and transmuted weapons do get ascended, I still have to get an ascended weapon and transmute it to my Legendary, and I’ll be kicking myself for not transmuting.
If I do transmute, and transmuted weapons do not get ascended, again, I have to get an ascended weapon and transmute it.
If I do transmute, and transmuted weapons do get ascended, then I win.
So, if I don’t transmute, I’m guaranteed to have to farm a new ascended weapon. The only difference is you may have a short period when ascended weapons are released that you don’t have the highest tiered weapon. I decided that it’s better to have the stats I want now, and possibly have a period where I have the exotic stats I want while working to get the ascended stats I want, than to continue with stats I don’t want, just to keep having stats I don’t want while I work to get ascended stats I do want.
Hopefully that made sense.
