added note that transmutation is a subskill of alchemy
== {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Overview==
'''Transmutation''' allows you to change, or reroll, a mod on a piece of gear. (Note: "mod" is used interchangeably with "treasure effect" and "treasure mod") This consumes phlogiston and durability. The higher the level of the item, the higher the tier of phlogiston consumed. The ability to pick and choose treasure effects is huge, and it's not an understatement to say that this is the most powerful skill for min-maxing gear. Please note that transmuting anything will ATTUNE that gear to you, making it useless to other players.
In the Skills and Abilities tab, Transmutation is listed as a subskill of '''Alchemy'''.
'''NOTE:''' Differences between Transmutation and Augmentation: [[Transmutation]] lets you '''change''' the mods on your gear, whereas '''Augmentation''' lets you '''add''' one additional mod to a piece of gear. With [[Transmutation]] you ''distill'' items into phlogiston and use a transmutation table to make changes. With Augmentation you ''decompose'' items into beads and baubles in order to extract a mod from one item and place it on a different item.
