Beginner's guide to Arcane Transmutor

[likwidsage]

A more detailed and illustrated version of this guide can be found at http://evilkittens.prophpbb.com/topic4.html

Since the game just went open beta I thought it would be helpful to post a short guide on how the Arcane Transmutor works.

THING TO KNOW BEFORE HAND:
1) You need 1 charge per use of the transmutor. You can get charges for the tranmutor by exchanging 3 tokens in the class hall in Vanaras City. You get tokens from completing daily quests. You get daily quests from the bulletin boards.
2) Power stones can be bought from an NPC in Vanaras City on the West side. They are also dropped but rarely.


GETTING STARTED:
In order to get to the arcane transmutor, you open your backpack (press B) and click on the treasure chest icon one the bottoms of the "backpack" window.

In this window is where all the upgrading will take place. Here's what you can do:
-If you combine 1 power stone, with 1 equipment, you get 1 mana stone that's the tier level of the equipment. The stats from the weapon are transferred to the mana stone (Thanks to Horos). DO NOT USE THE EQUIPMENTS YOU WILL USE, AS THESE WILL BE LOST. Notice the preview of the stone show at the bottom? That's what you will get.

- If you have 3 mana stones, you have 2 choices:

a) Combine 3 mana stones with 1 equipment. The 1 equipment you use will inherit ONLY 6 of the attributes (along with the tier level) from the 3 manastones.
YOU WILL GET THIS EQUIPMENT BACK WITH 6 ADDED ATTRIBUTES. ASSIGN THE RUNES BEFORE USING THE WEAPON IF RUNES ATTRIBUTES ARE DESIRED.

b) Combine 3 mana stones of the same tier to get a mana stone of the next tier. [pictures coming soon]

When the combination is right, a preview will be shown at the bottom of the transmutor screen.

Summary:
- 1 power stone + 1 equipment = 1 mana stone with equipments tier level
- 3 mana stones + 1 equipment = 1 equipment with 6 attributes for mana stones. [Remember: stones and equipment have to be same tier]
- 3 mana stones of the same tier = 1 mana stone 1 tier level higher

USING THE ARCANE TRANSMUTOR TO MAKE RUNES:
There are two ways to make runes using the Aracane Transmutor:
1- combining 2 runes of the same tier will give you a rune with different attributes of the same tier
----A list of rune pairing can be found here.

2- combining 5 runes of the same type and tier will give that same rune at a tier 1 level higher



Bonus: After doing this, you can upgrade more by adding runes to the weapons, and even more using the upgrade jewels.

Thank you... I was so confused before this.

Where do you get the mana stones from or how do you make them?

[Cargobane]

Buy a Power Stone from the NPC. Take the Power Stone and any weapon/armor. Put them in Transmutor. Preview the resulting Mana Stone. Confirm or Cancel Transmutation.

I would like to point out a way to SAVE Tokens if you are creating Tier II or Tier III runes from the lower runes.

Like likwidsage says above 5 runes of one tier will make the next tier or

10 will make 2 of them - cost (1) token
15 will make 3 of them - cost (1) token
20 will make 4 of them - cost (1) token
etc...

This also works for the combining of 2 different runes.

1 rune A + 1 rune B = 1 Rune C - cost (1) token
2 rune A + 2 rune B = 2 Rune C - cost (1) token
3 rune A + 3 rune B = 3 Rune C - cost (1) token
etc...

Also note that from my experience (all runes created in the transmutor become BOUND to you).

ive tried this, and its FALSE, as of version 1802 your arcane transmutator will indicate the necesary charges for your current transmutation, so 20 runes of the same type will give 4 tier 2 runes and cost 4 charges. its says so himself and you better belive him, as i spent my charges to make sure.

I'm pretty new to the game but I have a question about this...

Say I'm a priest. I can't wear leather, but I have a mana stone made from a pair of leather gloves...

If I mana stone my staff with that mana stone, will I be able to use it ?

In short my question is : can any char use any item to mana stone an item ?

Good job on the guide

This thread tinyurl'd so you can send it in zone chat to everyone and their mother who spams How I can use Arcane Transmutor every 3 seconds in zone chat, because 90% of the mmorpg playing population of the world don't know what google is or could never fathom actually reading a game forum.

[SabbathSMC]

the mana stone can be made from anything even something ripped off a plate and it wont matter what you put it on it destroys the item when you make the mana stone.
