Transmuting

Transmuting allows a player to convert several items of one type into a single item of another type, and is done at crafting stations or the Artifact Foundry.

Resource Transmuting

Resources from Tier 2 to Tier 7 can be combined to obtain a single item one tier higher. Doing this is generally not recommended as it consumes many lower tier items, and you can usually go to a market and sell the lower tier in exchange for higher tier resources at a better rate. In general, transmuting is intended to put an upper limit to resource costs on the market, since if high tier resources get too expensive one can always purchase resources one tier lower and transmute it.
