ArenaNet Staff Gaile Gray.6029 Posted October 30, 2018 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted October 30, 2018 Hey everyone, You may have noticed a new feature came out today. You can now swap upgrades in legendary weapons for free! If you were wondering why it wasn’t accompanied by the usual fanfare for such a highly-requested update, that’s because it slipped out early. It wasn’t intended to go out until the next release, but since it’s out there now, enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kencussion.9273 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 So a friend of mine and I did some testing with the few Legendary weapons we had...able to swap sigils on Eternity (gen 1)able to swap sigils on Astralaria (gen 2)NOT able to swap sigils on Bolt (gen 1) - UPDATE: this is now working for usNOT able to swap sigils on Rodgort (gen 1) - UPDATE: this is now working for usSo it seems pretty inconsistent, which is probably why it wasn't meant to be released just yet. :-PUPDATE: Just tested again and now everything seems to be working correctly!

souldonkey.9534 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Can confirm, Bolt did not swap (gave me the prompt warning that my existing sigil would be destroyed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eevee.9107 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 adding on to what Kencussion said, I can't seem to swap them on Chuka & Champawat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashantara.8731 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 How does swapping work? I don't see an option for it.You can't "eject" them, so I assume you just put another sigil or infusion in the slot and the old one thereby automatically goes into your inventory?

Since it doesn't seem to work properly with all legendary weapons yet, I will wait for the next patch. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, i just tried again and now it's working just fine on Rodgort and Bolt... not sure what happened between then and now??? Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khisanth.2948 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Also need to make sure you have patched first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, if we didn't patch first, NONE of them would have worked in the first test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pifil.5193 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Great news, thanks to everyone in ArenaNet for this, now should I craft Bolt or Sunrise next? Hmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jwake.7013 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I know a dev had said a while back that were tech issues that prevented sigil swapping in weapons to become a thing, so thank you for the hard work in making this happen. The gold in my wallet also thanks you :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 It wasn’t intended to go out until the next release, but since it’s out there now, enjoy!Bugs that work for us, instead of against us. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it doesn't break the economy scoffit Shouldn't as not everybody has a legendaryI doubt it will affect the sigil economy one bit. When Legendary armor came out, the price for runes didn't shift one iota either. What changes upgrade prices is changes in the meta (like how Runes of Strength fell out of favour), or new sinks like what happened with Sigils of Nullification.

I sometimes feel the space the legendary weapons and armor safes me is lost by all of those :) perhaps we can learn sigils and runes and choose them like we choose stats. That feature may help for a future build template ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
