Exactly what do you do and how do you do it?

Take a terrible weapon and swap out the parts for better ones?

    Yes. Most common use of for taking a 3 star purple and turning it into a three star orange. You take the weapon to Dianan in Rocheste mage's guild. Slect item composite and replace then a menu opens up. Select the item and the part you want to socket in. The cost of replacing the part is shown in the window.

    This process is cost prohibitive and now completely obsolete due to OJ shards in seal shop. Don't bother swapping - sell and craft a full orange from scratch - it will be much more cost effective.
    Exception being if you have a max or near max stat weapon.

    Question.

    Say I have a +15 blue weapon that I want to change everything to orange.

    Would the +15 and scrolls still be there?

    The enhancement is lost once you swap out the main component, everything else (enchants, quality, infusion) will remain.

    Not entirely correct, enhancement is only reset upon upgrading the primary component. This means changing the essence from blue to purple, blue to orange, or purple to orange.

    The primary component is the Wings part correct?

    If I replace all the blue stones with orange ones does it keep it's enhancement?

    Yes. Only upgrading the essence (feather) to a higher quality will reset the enhancement.

    you wont have a +15 unless the primary is already orange anyway

    another use for swapping is if you want to use r8 or r9 enchants and save on runes

    besides, your OJ primary can be upgraded using synthesis anyway. You get to keep your +15 while upgrading the secondary shards to OJ
