Help me understand Recast.

So I gathered enough Dragon orbs to +12 an end game weapon. I decided on the Lunar Weapon "Howling Hurricane" because of the stun mod and hoping to get Sacrificial Assult as a mod on second recast.
Although my barb is only lvl 92 ATM, I will be trying to fully recast that weapon. However, I don't totally understand the recast process. I will list my assumption of the steps and you can correct me if you find a mistake.
1st. You will need your weapon (Howling Hurricane)
2nd. Gather 100 weapon recast mats from Nirvana.
3rd. First recast will change the appearance while keeping the original stats.
4th. Gather 150 weapon recast mats from Nirvana.
5th. 2nd recast will let you keep original stats while adding random major and a minor mod from a pool of pre-selected mods. The newly recasted weapon will become G15.
6th. You can re-roll the major + minor mods as many times as you want for 7 weapon recast mats.
Here are some of my questions about this whole Nirvana gear recast.
I know that recasting will let you keep your refines and gems but does it require more Nirvana mats to recast a +12 weapon than a non-refined weapon? If it does, any one know how much more? How long do you think it will take for someone to gather 100 mats from Nirvana?
Anyone know anything?

if you go to Nirvana forges and look at the different options for your weapon
you ll see
1 = first recast augments the damages of your weapon, and she becomes a 2* red one.
2= second recast. augments your damages again.. but it looks like you lose all the stats, and you gain a new one.
3= following recasts , add a new stat.
no refine trsnfert stone in game yet.I look at all the trollers, and Pvpers.. and know they wouldnt have lasted 30sec on Camelot.
Rules= Know your enemy (players and NPCs) gives you more chances to survive.0 -

Aww.. man. I was thinking that stun with sacrificial assult would be awesome on the weapon..0 -
it is still unknown if transfer stones will ever be implemented in PWI, so it may be wise to hold your refines for a bit longer.
Perhaps the GMs can give us an explanation why it is not when it is in other versions of the game.b:scorn0 -

What does it have to do with refine transfer stone? I thought we don't need that to transfer refines when we recast nor is it needed in the process in this version?0 -
Good luck with that OP.
So how much you spend to +12 a weapon?0 -

3042 gold. So 1521 mil with current gold prices.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -

I got a question if u can answer it.
can u tell me how much it cost to make a G10 Garnet shard I can't seem to figure out?0 -

It's a lot cheaper to use 10 star orbs. I sold of a lot of my 1 stars and got 7 10 stars.0 -

In theory that would be 114m in shabby shards, but since world bosses also drop grade 9 shards, you can buy 5 of those and I'd say it totals at about 15 mil (which is about the price of a grade 11 shard I believe...).[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -

Yeah I forgot about that, but it's only wise to use those past +7 since a 7 d. orb is 64.5 gold and a 10 star is 75. But it would indeed save you about 500 gold from 7 -> 10.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -
Well, you don't lose refinement lvl if you recast. No need to worry about that9 out of 10 voices in my head say I'm not crazy... the 10th is singing the music of tetris0

Yes but I think it will cost you more mats in order to recast something with high refine and gemmed than something that has no refine nor gem.0 -
I heard there can't be any gems in the weapon when you cast it. Just a rumor...0

Seriously.. we need more information about this whole recast thing.. GMs, how about a Q and A thread about this?0

I just want more information so I can decide which weapon to +12 and if I should refine it now or wait till after the recasts so I can save on the recast mats. Come on GMs~0 -

tbh i wouldn't wait for a gm reply as there is almost a guarantee it won't be correct. if anything, +5 the weapon and +12 it when u get the g15 version (good luck with that) or wait for the playerbase to confirm it.0 -
No one seems to know about refines transferring so I know a few like me who are holding off doing any refining or sharding until the confusion is cleared.
I found a link to a post from some other version with SS of how the upgrades work, but it neglects to show the refines/shards - whether these need transfer stones which we don't have in this version (yet?)
One friend did go to the nirvana forges with a GM but the GM could give no clarification on how this works - hopefully the GM is following this up and an explanation will come soon...
I've yet to get a squad of people wanting to try nirvana in my timezone anyway but maybe this will change with the current bonus zen thing.

You need to have the refinement transfer stones in order for your Gems, Sockets and FULL refine to carry over.
When you go to recast, it will ask you for a set amount of these stones if your refine/gems are of a certain level.
b:surrender Takes a while to farm these though so maybe the full answers will come by the time some get enough of the Crystals (100 for armor). Needless to say if you split the mats between everyone, you are lucky to get one Uncanny (armor) a run and one Rapture (weapon) every 2-4 runs b:surrender[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Where is my 1 v 1 Kan? b:mischievous0 -
Surely it's not that hard for a GM to trial this. Can't they just conjure up the necessary gems, weapons, shards, and refines to give us some answers?I like pie0
