Unable to deconstruct Mythic items that have been reconstructed

SkaraMinoc · November 2022

Neither the crafting stations nor Giladil the Ragpicker show any Mythics in their list of items to deconstruct.

Server: PC NA
Addons Disabled

For example, Malacath should show up here but it does not.

You can't deconstruct them.

Good thing I only make one of the things I use.

So the only way to get rid of a reconstructed Mythic item is to delete it? There's no warning at all that you won't get 25 transmute crystals back. Seems like a bug to me.

I have around 30 builds and I also experiment heavily for PvP. I've got a stockpile of almost 3000 transmute crystals stored as reconstructed items in my bank. So I'm not exactly hurting if I can't deconstruct a Mythic item. Just wondering why this is by design because it doesn't make sense. A reconstructed Mythic item is no different than any other reconstructed item, so you should be able to deconstruct it to get the transmute crystals back.

I think the difference is, a mythic requires zero mats to construct it. And you cannot deconstruct a base mythic you dig up directly. So there really isn't anything to pull apart from it outside of the transmutes. Every other item has mats that can be regained when deconstructing.

sadly it is not a bug, as even "naturally obtained" mythics cannot be deconstructed

Nothing requires mats to reconstruct it, only transmutes. You can reconstruct any set item for crystals only, then deconstruct it to get 25 transmutes and no mats, since you invested none. You only have chance to get some mats back if you chose to invest mats to upgrade item from base quality. You can reconstruct some perfected jewelry in gold only as it's base quality, deconstruction will never grant mats since you can not upgrade that further.

I was thinking more along the lines of upgrading. It costs mats to upgrade beyond the base level. Mythics cannot be upgraded. And their found form cannot be deconstructed. So it follows that the reconstructed versions also cannot be deconstructed.

I didn't even know you could reconstruct them lol
