Guild Wars 2

Existing Behavior:
Using the mystic forge recipe to swap stats of an existing ascended warhorn to Thackery’s stats (Seraph inscription) results in a Laranthir’s warhorn.

Expected Behavior:
The same recipe should result in a Thackery’s warhorn.

Steps to reproduce:
Place Ascended weapon (I used Zojja’s Herald), 5 ectoplasm, Anthology of Heroes, and Seraph Orichalcum Imbued Inscription into the mystic forge. Observe results.

Possible confounding factors:
Warhorn had Superior Sigil of Earth slotted, no infusion, no skin. Forge used was in Blue Alpine Borderlands Garrison on JQ server. Date encountered was 16 February 2017 around 8:00 pm PST.

Attached is screenshot immediately after using the forge.

Ascended armor bought from the PVP vendor also cannot be mystic forged to change stats. In case you are wondering why it is an issue since it has all HoT stats available, it does not include the new Seraph stats. Also, sometimes people might misclick. See link below -

The PvP-bought armor issue is on the list of bugs about to be fixed (it’s not on the Curated Issue Tracker, but it’s been mentioned elsewhere that they are ready to deploy a fix).

The Seraph inscription issue is new, however.

Oops, I forgot to add the usual disclaimer that the implementation date was tbd.

Thanks for updating us about the bug that has the white mantle corrupting the seraph inscription.
