This includes items such asAsylum,Master, orMaelstrom Weapons,Monster Masks, and weapons and armors dropped fromTrialsorGroup Dungeons.
How Do I Transmute An Item?
In order to Transmute an item, you’ll need the following:
A Transmutation Station can be found within the heart of theBrass Fortressin the Clockwork City, or you can purchase a personal Transmutation Station for your home fromRolis Hlaalu, the Mastercraft Merchantfound in each faction’s capital city.
You are also required to have the ability to craft items with the Trait you wish to apply. For example, if you want to change your one-handed sword fromPoweredtoSharpened, you need to be able to craftone-handed swordswith the Sharpened Trait already. This means to Transmute some items, you might need to research the desired Trait first at a regular crafting station.
Finally, when you Transmute an item, you’ll need to spend Transmutation Crystals in order to do so. These rare crystals can only be earned from certain activities, such as daily dungeon quests,pledges, or from completingarenas.
If you have everything you need to Transmute an item, you simply need to use the Transmutation Station, select the item you wish to change, choose the item’s new Trait, and then confirm.
