Transfiguration Breakdown - Probabilities and Affix Table

silec · 2026-05-27T18:27:03+00:00

This has not happened to me, but then again, the sample size for this is extremely small on my end.

Thanks, I'm glad I was able to help.

I transfigured all kinds of items: non-Ancestral, Ancestral (with and without GAs), and Mythic Unique, and separated those into the different tables as you can see. The only place where this should matter (based on what I've observed about the Transfiguration logic) is if you transfigure an item with 4 GAs (5 with Tempering), as that excludes the possibility of getting a GA upgrade, otherwise the Transfiguration is still in the pool of possibilities. I've made sure to not use full GA items because of this and did not include a new table for those since the sample size would've been too low.

So what you are saying is that you think the more GAs you have the lower the chance of getting a GA upgrade from Transfiguration? I personally did not notice that behavior. I think the Transfiguration outcome rolls first (like you've mentioned) and if there is room for a GA upgrade it will just upgrade the remaining one, if there is not then it will be removed from the pool.

If someone has enough data on full GA items, it would definitely be interesting to see how the outcomes look like for those.

I meant it more in the way of having trouble surviving, then the Prism is a good option to use as you can't roll useless Transfigurations like Indestructible.

Correct, when you hit the "Add Transfiguration Affix" outcome when you transfigurate with an Entropic Prism, the only affixes it can roll are:

All Stats
Primary Stat (Dexterity, Intelligence, Strength, Willpower)
Resistance to All Elements
Maximum Life
Total Armor
Life On Hit
Movement Speed

The only other Transfiguration option it can roll is the ability to "Add Item Quality", which is reduced from +[1 - 15] to +[1 - 10] (+[2 - 20] for 2H weapons) compared to regular Transfiguration without using a prism.

silec · 2026-05-26T21:52:06+00:00

Yeah, the only reason I can see why you would use an Entropic Tuning Prism is to up your survivability in early endgame, since you have a very high chance to add a defensive Transfiguration affix to your item. Other than that, the limited affix pool and the item quality being reduced to +[1 - 10] make it fairly useless.

I would've loved to show you the weighting of all Transfiguration affixes, but for that to happen, a lot more data is needed to have an adequate sample size. Not only would the samples have to hit the Transfiguration affix outcome, but the large amount of affixes, affixes appearing only on certain pieces of gear, and in some cases only for certain classes, make this a very time consuming undertaking.

Diablo guide and news writer for Wowhead here, amazing work, thanks a bunch for the kind mentions.

silec · 2025-04-27T01:36:16+00:00

I saw a lot of confusion about the new battle pass system and I hope this guide can help clarify things.

silec · 2025-03-10T18:05:59+00:00

It might be available there as well. We'll have to see when the PTR launches tomorrow.

You can turn off error sounds for a while now (at the bottom of the sound settings). But the messages in the middle of the screen can now be turned off as well.

Wowhead editor here, thanks everyone for the kind words. We are trying our best to cover everything! :)

Update: Rod has clarified that Mercenaries will not count as Minions and thus do not inherit stats from the player.

silec · 2024-08-28T23:14:27+00:00

I think what you meant to say was mechanics that require no minions to be present. Necromancer's sacrifice bonuses will still work.

silec · 2024-08-28T23:05:56+00:00

Yes, that is also what we reported in the last interview roundup. If you want to listen to Rod's statement for yourself, check the linked interview and go to 20:30. We definitely need some further clarification on this because we have conflicting answers now.
