Riven transmute

[GunsForBucks]

I have a pyranna riven to transmute < third one.. built weapon for other two>

But I need to decide what other rivens to transmute with it... don't care what I get.

Here are my choices..

Lecta

Kama

Ogris

Torid

Snypse

Kuni

Sonicor

Stug

Kraken

I have built the weapons around the rivens and am ok with them all but I need room.

Are any due to get pimes/variants?

What would you get rid of?
What would you keep?

Transmute is the worst thing to do, is basically trade 4 for 1.

Just sell it cheap for a couple of platinum or sell for endo instead.

1) trading is not an option with OP

2) riven for endo? really? they give out miserable amount of endo and 4 trash rivens for a chance to get 1 decent is a pretty good one in my book and way better than endo because of simple fact that you can hop on Arbitrations and farm as much endo as you can - but you only get about 7 rivens per 30 sorties

Go ahead and trade your 4 for 1, good luck

Selling rivens is a pain in the ♥♥♥♥, if you have about realistic price you cannot sell it, most of what people want to buy is trash unrolled Rubico and Fulmin rivens. Rest is about the luck and about wasting time, it is a waste of time to post 50 times you want to sell a riven for 50 platinum - a FLAT waste of time as 50 platinum is about 20-30 minutes of gameplay ez guaranteed for players of any mastery rank.

And why do so many people say "WTB any trash rivens few plat each"? Because transmutation, ONE veiled riven is about 50-ish platinum. Especially with Arbitration Endo became so easy to obtain that prospect of giving out something you can get about once every 4 days on average and converting it into something that you can get whenever you like is a waste of value.

Because sheer rarity of rivens puts them as higher priority, there is no luck in getting bit of endo for them and there is no value gained from it, while potential value of transmutation is to bring you either a fun experience in a form of a build or a nice profit or a crap you'll transmute later on with other crap because most rivens you get are crap which is a simple statistic known to everyone.

Problem with turning rivens into anything else is that they are so rare and you cannot make them from anything else, while endo is created and farmed anywhere you go.

I understand you point of view if you are a newbie-ish player, you lack endo for everything and you are not invested into min-maxing your builds. From that perspective I get it, tho you should advance and learn to value rarity in this game over simple convenience you otherwise can get everywhere.

Statistically you cap out on endo way sooner than you cap out on rivens in terms of caping out all the relevant mods to a max level as opposed to getting 90 good fun rivens.

So by that math, I would trade a A LOT of endo for a riven instead, basic game economy, you sell what you get in buttloads and you try to get rare stuff, you never ditch rare stuff for stuff that rolls in buttloads.

I have tons of plat... more than I need... and if I get a 75% off I will probably get more anyway..

I just want a different riven to work on... I like to see what I can make of a weapon. I wish there was no cap on rivens so I could have one for each weapon in the game and it would give me something to actually play for and not get locked out of Sorties or make doing Arbitrations pointless. Isn't that what rivens were made for?

So any actual suggestions on the rivens listed?

Asking which of those weapon rivens to get rid of? Kama, Stug, and Kraken. The rest have niches or exclusive augments/mods/synergies or upgraded versions that make adding rivens for them more valuable.
