Transmuting 101

Today, someone asked me how do they start transmuting. My advice to them was a shortened version of the following:

1. From either Thundering Steppes (TS) Docks or Nektulus Forest (Nek) Docks wait at the end until you see the boat arrive.
2. Board the boat and wait until it departs for Butcherblock Mountain Docks.
3. Head to the right most side and talk to: Tyla Maki 752.00, 25.00, 592.00
4. Once you have the transmuting skill you will need to take to the merchant to the left of Tyla, Sala Maki. Buy the 4 transmuting abilities, and the essential recipe books to save you from making return trips to this location. (That is if you do not come here often.)
5. At this point you are probably asking.. how do I transmute???
6. Well, hit the K key to bring up your abilities and you will see a new ability for transmuting items into base ingredients used for transmuting recipes. Set this up on a hotkey, you will be using it a lot.
7. Now to start, Here is what can be transmuted:

• Treasured and attunable items (but these may not be ornate or no-value)
• Adept I's

These have a 1 in 5 chance to get you a powder for the corresponding tier. The rest of the time you will get fragments.

• Legendary and attunable items (also cannot be ornate or no-value)
• Adept III's

These will transmute into an infusion 1 in 5 times, while the rest of the time they will turn into a powder.

• Fabled and attunable items (never be tricked by ornate nor no-value)
• Master I's

These will turn into a mana 1 in 5 times or otherwise you will get an infusion.

The other thing to note is what level items can you transmute as you level in the transmuting skill?

If you are a transmuter at lvl X, divide this number by 5 and round down to the nearest Interger. Now at 5 to that. This is the highest level item you are currently able to transmute.

Each time your transmuting skill increases to a number divisible by 5, means you can transmute an item that is higher level than you could before.

If you want to get your skill up to level 100, start buying lvl 1-5 items but try not to pay a lot for them. You can even.. more to come lol
