Not sure if I'm missing something or what, but transmutation seems incredibly hard to level up. I'm new to the game and only level 16, but I'm lucky if I can do anything above +3 on Tier 1 items and still can't really do Tier 2 items. Given that a lot of the items I'm finding are tier V now and I don't really stand a chance at transmuting those, I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong or if it's really supposed to just be this difficult.

I've managed to get over 300 points in transmuting proficiency, but it doesn't seem like it's really made any difference. I assume it probably won't until I level it up. Until then, I've just been transmuting every tier I +1 - +3 I can find. Am I missing something?

Sounds like you understand how it works perfectly. Like all skills on Ladder Slasher, transmuting is something that takes years to adequately skill up. With transmuting you won’t really see gains between ranks, so hit that 1000 prof to reach rank 1 and you’ll notice a difference :)

Each Rank higher goes up significantly as you progress.

Example are Rank 1 = 1000, Rnk 2 = 2000, Rnk 3 = 3000 and so on...

Transmuting isn’t hard... just very time intensive.

It only gets easier with rank ups. Stick with the items closer to the minimum to get prof points to make it “easier” (quicker)

It never really gets better... but atleast you can watch tv while doing this skill.
