As far as I understand, an item consists of:
- A stat combination
- A look
- An optional upgrade component
All of this information is also in the item’s name. Example:
Carrion (stats) Pirate coat (looks) of the Dolyak (upgrade)
When I use transmutation, I get to pick which stats combination, which look and which upgrade component I want to keep.
However, the name only changes in part 2 and 3.
Example: I now have a Berserkers Pirate Coat of the Pirate
- with Pirate Coat look
- with Pirate rune
- but with celestial stats!
Surely the item should be called Celestial Pirate Coat of the Pirate? There is nothing “berserker” about it.
