Hello.
I noticed recently after performing an item transmute that if the intended “skin” is from a crafted item that the new item inherits the prefix from the crafted item rather than the stat line (vs. gem store or racial item prefixes which work correctly). Example:
I crafted a piece of the new celestial gear (emblazoned helm) and wanted to apply the noble mask “skin” to it (it had the carrion prefix). I purchased the transmute stone from the GS and used that to successfully create an exotic item that had the skin and rune from the mask and the stats from the emblazoned helm. However, I then noticed that the prefix still read as carrion.
While I know this sort of bug is mostly cosmetic as transmuted items can’t be listed on the TP, it was more than a little confusing to my guildies and friends when I linked it. Also… as someone who is going to spend the time to make a full celestial set, but not buy new runes it would be nice, from a personal pride thing, that it was correct.
Transmute logic should be, IMHO, when transmuting an item it will inherit the prefix from the stat line selection unless the skin selected carries a special prefix (Aetherblade, Krytan, Radiant, etc…) in which case that one will take precedent.
Thanks!
