Is there a guide or spot of information on muting?
I have not done it in forever and sadly forgot much of the information and how it works.

(Like item + essence, do these need to be same tier? Etc).

The tier needs to be the same but the magical level does not

you could take a Angelic lvl 20 item and use a Magical essence on it, but this would come out magical
you could also take a Magical Item and use a Angelic essence, there is a chance that it will come out higher then magical, but does not always happen.

This...to clarify the items magical level can’t become more than the essence’s magical level, but it can be lower.

Thanks guys

There a graphic somewhere that explains best tier to mute per rank for exp gains?

This is old pre-update, but it’s a good baseline

Thanks

If you use angelic + angelic, does it always come out angelic?

From what I read, it can come out anything Angelic and under.
Like if you do magical + magical you can end up with a white item.

the is a very small chance it drops a magical level. more likely to turn white or poof.

The % I came up with on a 1000 item test of rares.

5.8% chance of turning into magical
7.1% chance of poofing.
