Seems to me the probable answer has already been stated in this thread.
Speculation follows:
1. A gargoyle is a demon.
2. Shadow Behemoth drops a “Demonic Chest”
3. Profit.
4. Shadow Behemoth event was(is?) bugged for the longest time on many servers, limiting sample size?

I wasn’t intending on using any “tricks”, “exploits”, etc. All I wanted was a way to get the sword to another character without the unintended consequences that transmuting legendaries currently has/may have. I picked the wrong method.
I am fully aware it was a stupid thing to try, hindsight is 20/20, and all that yada yada yada. This was not intended as a sob story by any means, but merely a story of ignorance and temporary insanity for others to either enjoy, emphathize, or learn from.
I have petitioned A-net to see if the once in a lifetime rollback per account can be applied here, although I do not have high hopes since that is intended for accounts that have been compromised. Other than that it is just a waiting game to see if they become account bound at some point in the far far future.
Thanks for your mostly mature responses.
I could see the potentially disastrous effects fully unbinding gear would have on the economy. I would be ecstatic simply to be able to transmute items on any character, regardless if its bound to another one of your characters. They are, after all, your characters.
If this is indeed a true story why oh why ho why did you not test this first with another char with some other soulbound item? O.O This is such a mindbending story…..
Unfortunately it is quite true. I even tried creating the same race,gender,prof,name just to be able to transmute it, with no luck.
And the thing is this process did used to work with soulbound items as long as they were soulbound on equip rather than soulbound on acquire. It’s not like I just guessed what would happen. I guess this wasn’t intended and got changed though. Sadness.
Either way, unless some miracle happens the damage is done.
For Science!!
nah, kitten science…this is all about the horrendous mistake I just made so that you can learn from it and hopefully avoid the same mistakes.
I just finished my Sunrise 2 days ago after several months of grinding mats, salvaging ectos, farming karma, etc, etc, etc….and I equipped it on my mesmer. Everything sounds great so far right?
Wrong. See, I really wanted the Sunrise on my Guardian main. I put it on the mesmer thinking the weapon would make me want to play it more. Big mistake. So I set off to fix this and get my beloved Legendary GS over onto my Guard. I could simply transmute it to a white, but with so many bugs with that system I was simply not willing to risk it. So I did something even worse.
I put my Sunrise into the bank, and deleted my full exotic level 80 mesmer.
Yep, I did it, thinking if the character no longer exists surely the weapon couldn’t be soulbound to her anymore. Wrong again. Oh so very wrong indeed.
And now my beloved Sunrise, my oh so many hours of work, is sitting in the bank…unable to be pulled out by any of my characters, unable to be transmuted, unable to be….anything. It just sits there, waiting for its owner that will never come back for it like a lost puppy. What a sad,sad puppy it is.
TLDR: Please just transmute your weapons or armor, and NEVER delete a character.
Learn from my kittenness….I will be for quite a long time to come as I stare at the last slot in my last bank tab.
A: Yes, the legendary itself only comes with one set of stats, power tough vitality.
B: You can transmute it, but currently it will keep its Legendary status except when linking the item in chat. Due to a bug, the item will show as exotic when you link it. It is up to you to either accept this or wait for a fix to be certain.
c: The stats will be raised to Ascended equivalence when ascended weapons are introduced. Anet has not stated, but it is assumed true, whether transmuted legendaries will recieve the stats buff or not at that time.
