The latest HM pledge update gives the old version of Uncracked Transmutation Geode

Tsukiino

Y'all forgor to update this or was it intended?

The old Uncracked Transmutation Geode is the purple one that grants between 1 to 10 Transmute Stones, instead of the newer one that guarantees 5.

Every time I have opened this geode I keep getting 2.

Yes I get 4 keys from doing HM, but really? 2 transmute crystals?

Yes, Veteran DLC Hard Mode Pledges are currently rewarding less Transmute Crystals than the Base Game Hard Mode Pledges. Ever since the update, every time that I've done Veteran DLC Hard Mode Pledges, I'll only get 2-3 Transmute Crystals from the purple Uncracked Transmutation Geode, but all Veteran Base Game Hard Mode Pledges are giving 5 Transmute Crystals from the blue Transmutation Geode.

This needs to be fixed because I don't want a random amount of Transmute Crystals for my rewards from the harder dungeon pledges, especially not if it's less than the easier dungeons.

@ZOS_Kevin can someone acknowledge this is a bug and look at this?

Yeah, this is really bugging me to. They need to either adjust these geodes to be at least 5, or just give us the 10 ones you get for doing your daily random.

I'll second that. Is this intended?

I'll THIRD that 3 months later @ZOS_GinaBruno . Getting less transmutes from the dlc dungeon which is much harder than base game usually makes zero sense. Please fix this.

The DLC Pledge Transmutation Geode was changed in Update 41 (Scions of Ithelia DLC) which dropped for PC on March 11, 2024. So it's been almost 7 months since the DLC Pledge Transmutation Geode has been "bugged" and rewarding less crystals than the base game pledges.

And in Update 43 there were other changes to Transmutation Geodes:

• Each Transmutation Geode will now tell you how much it grants in parenthesis in their name.
• Adjusted the quality of Transmutation Geodes to the following:
  • Transmutation Geode (1) -> Unchanged, White Quality
  • Transmutation Geode (3) -> Was Green Quality, is now White Quality
  • Transmutation Geode (5) -> Was Blue Quality, is now Green Quality
  • Transmutation Geode (10) -> Was Purple Quality, is now Green Quality
  • Transmutation Geode (50) -> Was Gold Quality, is now Purple Quality
    • Note that sourcing has not changed for these geodes and they can still be found in the same ways. Uncracked Transmute Geodes have not yet been changed but will be adjusted in a future update.
• Added two new Transmutation Geodes to acquire:
  • Transmutation Geode (25), Blue Quality
  • Transmutation Geode (100), Gold Quality

But they still didn't fix the DLC Pledge Transmutation Geode...

There's been other threads about this problem but it's never even been acknowledged.
