Transmutting Undermountain Gear

timthegreat89 · May 2019

Okay, so, I'm have a fun time with getting gear specificly for a rogue assassin from Undermountain. Only to find out I'm not allowed to transmutte anything from Undermountain (except for the daggers, which have transmutte allowance) with the current gear I have got prior to Mod 16. Please fix this fast, because this is unacceptable! We players should be allowed to transmutte stuff from Undermountain, and currently what's happening is just stupid!

I will 2nd this one. Maybe I'm an unusual player. You won't lose me by fiddling with the stats... but try to get me to change an outfit I've been wearing for years??... I will actually quit the game over something like that. If I didn't know any better, I might think some PVP players complained that they can't tell what people are wearing based on their toons... and so devs killed the transmute ability on the newer gear. Since I can transmute newer purple gear... with OTHER newer purple gear, the effect feels very deliberate (preventing transmutation of newer gear with older gear).

Please change this back on your next patch. I actually like playing this game.

and to get really specific:

the piece of gear I want to transmute is seen here on the right, bought with seals, the Wristguard of the Spy's Guild... I want to transmute it with the gear on the left, the Wristguard of the Red Feather Clan, which as you can see, has also been transmuted... going back a long time.

I'm glad you're totally with me regarding this, because we should be allowed to transmutte gear pieces especially from Undermountain!

Try binding it to your character first?

And certain weapon transmutes ''work'' but then they don't show weapon enchant visuals

So... good idea, Greywynd. Unfortunately, that is not it. Seen here, this is as close as it gets to "Bound To Character"...

Notice that it is equipped. I don't know how to make it more bound to character than that.

Now here's a screenshot of what it looks like when I try to transmute back to my blue Bracers Of The Red Feather Clan (really messed up since these also released with this mod and I could transmute those with Epics from mod 14)....

As you can see... the only thing I can do is dye it, or transmute it to some other Epic level mod16 gear.

But... now that you mention it, Greywynd... maybe that *is* the bug?... the fact that it's not binding to my character, but only my account. I would imagine their intention with that is so you could level up the gear on your alts... but having unintended side-effects with respect to transmutes. They should be: Bound (Account) and also Binds On Equip. Maybe once it does become character bound, then I'll be able to transmute it.

easyas123 · May 2019

Yup... look here. The two items in my inventory that can transmute each other... I've worn both (you can tell because I dyed both)

...

so if this thread finds it's way to the devs, make all those new items Account Bound and Binds On Equip, and think this one solves itself.

Gear and weapon should be able to transmute regardless if its undermountain gear or crafting gear as long as its useable by a class. I find no legit reason for developer to do things otherwise other than something they overlook during their design phase. If is the mistake made by the dev, player shouldn't be punish because of this. The person who overlook this should fix it asap.

I notice the gear that cant transmute are usually a gear that has shared usage among multiple class. I hope this is not the reason because if it is, it looks like some lazy people trying to get his job done fast but mess up the gear transmutation compatibility in the process.

Also please fix crafting gear transmute too. I find no reason why we cant transmute crafting gear appearance into a level 80 gear.

Try to apply to all loadouts - works with few items

The problem I'm seeing is that a piece of gear from Undermountain is multi-classed. I've changed a few pieces, but I couldn't do so until they were bound to a character, effectively becoming only for that character's class.

Developer need to fix this or whatever the problem is.
