Transmutation is a special method of combining unwanted mods and credits  for a chance to create a better, more  rare  mod.

Cost to fuse varies by how rare the mods are that you use for the transmutation process, the cheapest being 12,000 credits for fusing 4 common mods or Auras and the most expensive is 36,000 for fusing 4 rare mods. You can only use mods that are unranked, and have not been upgraded, and ones that are (such as a max rank mod) will simply not show up as an option.

The chance for certain mods is higher or lower depending on how rare the mods are that you use. Transmutation 4 common mods have a lower chance of awarding rarer mods or mods highly prized, but all transmutations have this chance. Fusion rare mods together is much more costly but can have a greater chance of giving you rare mods.

The mods that you will create can vary in type as well, ranging from ordinary common mods, uncommon mods, rare mods, warframe powers, and more. The rarer the mod, the lower the chance is to get it during the transmutation.
