Okay, so I wanted to mess around with this transmuter stone thing in BG3. I’d heard about it, and it sounded pretty cool, so I figured, why not give it a shot? First off, I had to get my hands on a character who could actually make one of these things. You need someone who’s a transmutation wizard, and they gotta be at least level 6, I think. I already had a wizard in my party, but he was more into evocation, you know, blasting things with fireballs and whatnot. So, I went to Withers and respecced him into a transmutation wizard.
Once I got that sorted, I had to actually find the option to make the stone. Turns out, it’s not something you craft like a potion or whatever. It’s a special action that shows up in your hotbar after you take a long rest. So, I set up camp, took a long rest, and boom, there it was, a new action called “Create Transmuter’s Stone.” Clicked that, and it let me choose what kind of stone I wanted to make.
There’s a bunch of options, like one that gives you darkvision, or another that boosts your movement speed. I went with the one that gives you proficiency in Constitution saving throws. Seemed pretty useful, especially for a wizard who’s always getting knocked around.
After you create the stone, you can either keep it on the wizard who made it, or you can give it to another party member. It’s like an item that you equip. I gave it to my wizard, since he’s the one who needs those Constitution saves the most.
Here’s a quick rundown of the steps I took:
- Respecced my wizard into a transmutation wizard using Withers.
- Took a long rest at camp.
- Found the “Create Transmuter’s Stone” action in my hotbar.
- Chose the Constitution saving throw proficiency.
- Equipped the stone on my wizard.
It’s a pretty neat little item, especially if you’re smart about which buff you choose. I’m thinking of experimenting with the other options later, maybe the one that gives you resistance to acid damage. Could be handy against those pesky green dragons.
Anyway, that’s how I figured out this whole transmuter stone thing. It was a bit confusing at first, but once I got the hang of it, it was actually pretty straightforward. Hope this helps anyone else who’s trying to wrap their head around it!
