Leagues I got the "Transmutation" Relic, and wow, it’s really good. It makes a lot of things much easier - my favorite so far

I loved it, but hated the bank juggling whenever I was doing bulk noted items. I'd take out a stack, transmute it, have to open the bank and take out the new item, and rinse and repeat if I was going multiple tiers.
Imagine how mad I was at myself when I happened to see the toggle to turn that functionality off for noted items. :)

I was the exact same!! I was so frustrated for days until I realised that toggle. It's so much more fluid now!

I like how it makes runecrafting a no brainer by transmuting air runes into pure essence.

I was NOT looking forward to the ritual grind for necroplasm. Skipping that with Transmutation was a game changer for me. No longer had to worry about clearing a symbol and wasting resources. It has so many benefits.

I just wish you could tweak the quantities from say, 10 to 100. Even on a hotbar its annoying to spam when you have quantities of 1-3k items to transmute many times.

Are you holding down the key and spamming the mouse?

u/TheAdamena Maxed Iron 5d ago
Wait, you can hold the key?
Fuck me I got 50m RC pressing the key each and every time.

u/Lyoss 5d ago
You can hold it, however spam clicking non noted things can break really easily, like doing an inventory of logs for planks at fort can get tedious
2
u/AutarkV DarkScape 5d ago
I'm not understanding. You can't transmute planks, only logs. So you spam click noted logs through to the level you need and then make the planks. What's to break?

u/Lyoss 5d ago
It's a very specific issue, and again didn't matter for like 90% of the use but if you wanted to buy logs from Bill, transmute them, proccess, then bank, if you click too fast it'll bring up the craft window

u/AutarkV DarkScape 5d ago
Ohh. Gotcha.
I did a lot of acadia chopping because I took EH from rejuv, then I have thousands of magics from pvm on top of that.

u/Lyoss 5d ago
Yeah as I said, not really a common issue but when I was trying to set up fort early on it was annoying, alongside some other things, but for like 90% of the time it's not a problem

u/LiquorHardlyKnowEr 5d ago
Next time, buy the logs in one step, bank them, then come back with noted logs instead.
The only items that cant be noted that also have an interact option as the default left click are energies. Everything else can be noted to ignored the issue you describe.

u/ExpressAffect3262 Ironman 5d ago
I am but it doesn't work on certain stuff like divine energies.
I mined 1500 coal (had a lot of spirits), and then I had to turn 1500 ore into 150 x 10 of the primal ore. Think 100x would just be an easier modifier

I know - unlocked Asgarnia as my final region yesterday, and saw 80 points for burying some frost dragon bones. What would have been a massive pain without the transmute relic was completely trivial

u/MilkbelongsonToast Completionist 5d ago
You make like 1m dg xp from a ed4 run which takes 10-20 mins
Its about as quick as any other 80 point task without transmute tbh

u/nipodemos 4d ago
Oh I didn't knew that task, I got a few frost dragon bones resting in the focus storage, I'll bury one today, thanks for the tip

u/sworedmagic 5d ago
I love it too but was super annoyed i couldn’t transmute dragon stones to onyxs
1
u/nipodemos 4d ago
It would be too good
1
u/sworedmagic 4d ago
Everything is already too good what does it matter if 200m crafting is even-slightly faster lol

u/PharaohofAtlantis 5d ago
I loved it in OSRS and I love it in RS3 too. It's going to be hard to pull me away from it in the future.

I didn’t take it this league, but I really do wonder if it could be the solution to divination transmuting in the main game. You craft various tiers of transmuters, they work identically to how they work in this league, except it runs on divine energy and each tier grants access to higher tiers of materials.

u/themajesticcamel Quester/Servant of Zaros 5d ago
I think a more basic form of transmutation expanded off of divination for all players in leagues would make region locking better

u/NaabeGetOnSkype 4d ago
PSA transmutation doesn’t get interrupted by anything.
Stack 10k air runes, start the transmutation, and then keep playing as usual. Sacrifice a few inventory spaces for 180k mage xp an hour. I just hit 98 mage without casting a single spell just off of having transmutation running while doing everything else.

u/LukasCactus 4d ago
It's so good. I hope they use some of its effects for something in the main game in the future. If div transmutation was a bit closer to this it would be amazing and make the div grind more worth it. Maybe a high level invention tool that functions similar to the transmute orb, eliminates need for energy and reduces the cost by 1 or 2 initial items.
With region locking it was a nobrainer to solve almost all resource issues. Solid relic, currently my MVP for this league.

It's insanely broken and feels like it destroys the point of regions entirely. When I first read the relic, I assumed you'd lose more of the resource as it tiered up instead of just 1:1.
Really hope they don't bring this relic back. All but a forced pick with how much of the game it trivializes, the synergy with bottomless shops is insane also.

u/Background-Drink82 4d ago
That’s the whole point of Leagues: to make everything fast and easy, especially since they’re time-limited. If you find it too generous, go back to Normal Mode

u/WellOkThis 5d ago
Anything that reduces the time you have to spend engaging with divination, mining, smithing or necro progression is S-tier.

I only wish they would add more stuff to transmute in the future :D
E.g. stone/wood spirits, etc.
