Basic Information

• This item is a Transmutation chest created during the Taisidon Safari 420 event.
• STUDY: This appears to be a Transmutation Chest assembled from pieces recovered on the Taisidon Safari. You might have a magic user focus on it to unlock its secrets.
• FOCUS (when ready to use): You hold the chest in your hands and detect focus lines of elemental magic contained within. A sliver of something unrecognizable encircles the lines giving them a warped appearance.
  

The lines pulse quickly and are ready for activation.

You believe the magic capable of transmuting metals into gems. Placing up to 100 volume of metal in the chest then tapping it will initiate the process. The quantity of metal and the presence of pure, un-mixed rare metals will affect how successful the outcome is. After completing a transmutation the magic will require some time to recover.

• FOCUS (when recharging):You hold the chest in your hands and detect focus lines of elemental magic contained within. A sliver of something unrecognizable encircles the lines giving them a warped appearance.
  

The lines pulse sluggishly and will need some time to recover.

• TAP (with items in the chest to transmute): Gradually the chest grows warm to the touch and hums slightly in your hands.

Transmutation

(This section is still in progress, being documented as information is obtained)

• There is a 10 minute cooldown to use the chest between transmutations.
• Based off the information from the Taisidon shaman and from the above FOCUS messaging, the overall volume and type of metal you place in the chest will determine the resulting gem. 5 items total may be placed into the chest at 1 time. Attempting to place a 6th item results in a message similar to when you reach the maximum quantity of items into a forging crucible.
• Hints from GM Kodius off the forums:

• "The summed rarity of the metals in the chest will affect the chance for a rare item being generated. Note that alloys have no rarity, so pure rare metals will yield the best results."
• "The total value will also need to be sufficient to be able to roll for the rare items. The chest will give a unique message when it could potentially generate the rare items."
