So either I farm gear from
1. Chests
2. Wells
3. Muting
4. Luck

Never got how transmuting works

You can use essence + item to create a new item. You can either buy essences from other transmuters, or level up your mute rank and make your own essences. Higher the rank of muting, the higher level essences you can make.

its fun but really addicting, click and hold the buttons, don't click....it is a very long grindy process to get prof...

I don't find it to be that bad

TL/DR - Don't do it.

it's not bad for the most part, but when you unlock a new prof and can do higher items, I tend to find myself (when on computer) start to zone out a bit when I try to hold down the buttons and go off the button and no progress gets made then if that doesn't happen, finger starts hurting lol

Easier to buy ess off people who started 5+ years ago.
