First Attempt

I'm going to "transmute" a weapon for my first time.

I know once done the "source" item is destroyed.

I'm making my best sword look like an axe.

When I pull a newer/better sword, can I use the "transmuted axe" to change appearances again, making the newer/better sword to look again like an axe?

    when you transmute an item, you're just changing an item's appearance. if the item is a free transmute, then the first transmute is free. you can then take that item and later change an upgrade to look like your current item, but there will be a transmute cost involved. should be around 51k AD.

    Thx for the reply,

    Free or AD isn't what I'm concerned about.

    The axe I speak of is what I believe "rare", I always want my best "stats" weapon to look like that axe.

    Just so I understand, I CAN "transmute" appearances repeatedly?

    Again Thx.

    Yes, you can keep the look, but you will be sacrificing whatever weapon you have that look on in order to move it to a new weapon.

    To lay out the math...

    Sword +1 <transmute to> Axe visual = Axe +1
    You find Sword +2! You <transmute to> Axe +1 visual = Axe +2

    And as others have said, items like the weapons in the CtA going on have it noted in the weapon tooltip that they offer a free appearance change. After the first one, though, it costs, and tops out at ~51k AD.

    But if it's worth it to you...
