Inroduction
- After v1.14 transmuting changed into a skill that has to be leveled much like glyphing. No longer can a person transmute any item they want, rather they must build their proficiency which will allow them to mute higher tier'd/magical prefix'd items.
- Transmuting is also a skill that is required for suffusencing. The essences extracted in muting are used in this skill. (More on Suffusencing can be found http://ladderslasher.d2jsp.org/index.php?g=7)
- Transmuting can also be profitable, either by selling essences at lower levels or muting usable items at higher levels, but both require a significant investment of time.

Basics
- You can use the transmutation box to extract Magical (or higher) Essence from magical+ items. Once you get essence, you can combine it with another magical+ item of the same tier to reroll that item.
- When you extract the Essence from an item, you have a chance to get from magical to the magical level of the item. For instance, if you extract an Angelic item, you have a chance to get Magical, Rare, Mystical, or Angelic Essence from that item.
- When you combine Essence with an item, it's important to try and match the magical of the item with the essence for optimal effect. If you combine an Angelic item with an Angelic Essence, you are almost guarenteed to get a rerolled Angelic item. If you combine a Magical Item with an Angelic Essence, you have a chance to get a Magical, Rare, Mystical, or Angelic rerolled item.

Just Starting Out
1) To begin, place a magical tier 1 item into the mute box and transmute that item into an essence by clicking the "transmute" button and the "stabalize" button when the volatility gets above 1/2 the bar.
2) Once you have extracted that essece, place that essence and another magical tier 1 item into the mute box and repeate the process in step one to trasmute.
3) You can also stack like tier/magic essenences which allows you to either reduce on inventory space or sell those stacks to suffusencers.
3) As you build your proficiency, you are able to mute higher leveled items. (below is a detailed list of what the min/max itmes you can mute at to gain points at each proficiency)
4) The minimum values ONLY apply to the essence and not to the item muting so a user with 1 Proficiency will still gain experieince muting a Magical tier 1 item with a Rare+ tier 1 essence.

Tips
- For lower levels, it might be better to sell the essences rather than re-mute them bc 1) its an wasy way to make fg 2) the items needed are easy to farm 3) the odds of muting something useful are very low.
- Based on data provided by Saku: To optimize your experience per second it is best to stick towards the minimum levels listed below. But, this will require more items to be gathered or bought so its really a personal choice. Speed vs cost and space effectiveness. For me personally I muted towards my max because mutables on HC were hard to find/buy.

Disclaimers
- When muting a magical item w/ a magical essence, it is normal for the item to come back white.
- When muting two like magical items together, it is normal for the trasmuted item to come back one magical prefix lower and sometimes even two.
- It is normal for the trasmute and stabalize button to switch postions (implimented to prevent botting)
- Nobody knows the effect of Magic Luck on muting.
- Muting does not work with white items.
