Guild Wars 2

I have two level 80 armour sets (both light) that I would like to merge for the skin on one, stats on the other. I have the Level 80 Transmutation crystals, but when I place one item in one side, I’m unable to place the corresponding item in the other (when I hover over it with the item, the window turns red).

- The items are the same type (shoulder vs shoulder, gloves vs gloves)
- They are the same armour type (light vs light, not light vs medium)
- They are different rarities (one rare, one exotic)
- One has been previously transmuted
- I am using the appropriate transmute item for level 80

Am I overlooking something stupid? Is anyone else having this issue?

Just checking, but have you unequipped both items into your inventory before attempting the transmute?

That isn’t actually required.

I recall there was a bug with transmutations where you had to put the already transmuted item on the left side and the other item on the right. You could try that if that isn’t what you were doing already.

Neither item was equipped, and it didn’t work with either item being in the left side.

Is one of the items not soulbound to another character?

Neither item is soulbound to another character (both have been worn by the character holding both of them).

So I take it no one else has had this issue? Should I file a bug report?

Maybe u can post exactly wich 2 items fail to transmute.
Post screenshot(s) or mention evry stat/detail of these items.

Unless they have changed it somewhat recently, it was required to remove equipped armor at least, because transmuting it with it on introduced a bug, and Arenanet made it so it would fail. However if that was the case here, you could still put the item in the transmute window, it just wouldn’t succeed if you had one equipped. Bug you mentioned occurred around the same time.

As for the issue, I think I had something similar happen once, but it worked fine eventually or I decided I didn’t want to transmute those 2.

Just because you are seeing it, I would do a bug report. It is obviously a bug. As for why it is happening on 2 items that are for example, both gloves, completely unsure. Can you put each of those items in the transmute window with a 3rd item? If one of them fails, then you know the actual culprit
