Chicken + Bread = Chicken Sandwich!
Bacon + Lettuce + Tomato = BLT!
Hot Dog + Bread + Stick = Corn Dog!

Combining items into one thing is great, and there’s no difference in Torchlight’s approach to transmutation.  With transmutation, you can combine similar items to make a more powerful item.  The main trick with transmutation is knowing how it works.  Torchlight does a bad job of giving any sort of explanation or recipes for this skill, so we thought we’d give you guys a hand and tell you the Transmutation Recipes of Torchlight!

Get Gems by Transmuting Gear!
4 enchanted / rare items = a random low quality gem.
4 unique items = a random medium quality gem.

Get Better Gems by Transmuting Weaker Gems!
2 identical gems = the next higher tier of that gem.

Get Gear by Transmuting Gear!
3 enchanted / rare / unique rings = random ring of same quality.
3 enchanted / rare / unique amulets = random amulet of same quality.

Get Better Potions by Transmuting Weaker Potions!
3 of any mana / healing potion = the next higher tier potion

Get a Sushi Helmet!
3 sushi grade fish meat + any magical pistol + any magical shield + any magical belt = Sushi Helm.
The Sushi Helmet is a low level, unique helmet with +20 fishing luck and some other buffs too.

Go to Strangeland!
Using the Sushi Helmet – the helmet isn’t required, but it helps a lot – fish up different body parts of the many developers of Torchlight:

·    Leferts’ Hands
·    Tanwanteng’s Left Eye
·    Lefler’s Right Eye
·    Blank’s Teeth Necklace

Take these four parts and place them all in the transmute box and click Transmute.  The result will be a map to an area called Strangeland, which holds a whole bunch of treasure and named horses!  Those that remember the cow level of Diablo 2 will sure get a chuckle from this one.  There is a horse level!
