Guild Wars 2

I was transmuting my Bifrost staff into the ‘destroyer scythe’ skin, and it turned into an ascended version – the stat swapping ability is now gone. It has lost it’s legendary rarity, and i’m now left with an ascended ’zojja’s’ staff with the destroyer scythe skin – WTF!?!?!?!?

Can someone from Anet please look into this? I’m freaking out right now. I’ve sent in ticket about this also.

Edit: False alarm! It was only on my mesmer all along. I would have sworn the staff I transmuted had a purple border though, which is why I thought it was my legendary bifrost staff, but it must have been another ascended staff that I transmuted. Thank god. Problem solved.

For that sort of thing you should submit a ticket https://help.guildwars2.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

Thanks yes just sent in a ticket. I don’t know if I’m supposed to continue doing my dailies though or whether Anet will have to revert my character’s progress back by a day or however far they may have to go back to :-/ I don’t want to lose all the tickets and items I’ve gained through WvW – especially my gift of warfare and gift of conquering.

I want my bifrost back but don’t want to lose any of my other items/progress :-/ and now I’m afraid that, if they can get it back, the same thing will happen when I transmute it to the destroyer scythe skin.

I’m afraid to reskin any of my legendaries now. This sucks!

I think I may know what happened. See, My ele just had the ascended version of the actual original destroyer scythe talon staff – but my thief had the bifrost, and being as I’m working towards getting the Warbringer legendary backpiece for my elementalist, I wanted him to also have the legendary staff so I could stat-swap at any point in time.

So I deposited my ascended destroyer staff from my ele into the bank. I went on my thief and equipped the ascended destroyer scythe talon and transmuted it into the Bo staff skin (because I wanted to go for a daredevil look for him), then I equipped my Bifrost on my thief, and transmuted it into the destroyer scythe skin. I then unequipped the what-should-have-been legendary bifrost-transmuted-to-destroyer-scythe-talon-skin, but I looked in my inventory and it was now an ascended destroyer staff, and it said ’zojja’s spire – transmuted’. It was not a zojja’s spire, it was my Bifrost, it was now ascended, not legendary, and it didn’t even have the stat swapping ability.

Maybe the game got confused as I was transmuting both my ascended ‘original’ destroyer scythe talon into the Bo staff, and transmuting my original legendary ‘bifrost’ staff into the destroyer scythe skin.

I’m just going to check all my characters to make sure I’m not going crazy and that this really did just happen to me. If Anet knows where my bifrost went, I would love to know.

OMG false alarm. It was on my mesmer. Oh thank god. I would have sworn it was purple on my thief though – that was why I was so shocked when I saw it was ascended and it said it was a zojja’s staff.

Make sure to update your ticket and let the CS Team you no longer need assistance.

Good luck.

This was very funny :-D

But I am glad everything turned out OK.

It’s a feature, not a bu-
oh wait, this isn’t skyrim?

I thought as much. Putting a legendary skin on any item turns them “purple”.
