Guild Wars 2

I’ve got a quick question and just want to make sure I understand the Skin system before I make a purchase.

I have a low level Sylvari Engineer. If I purchase the Magitech (Medium) armor skin pack, how does it work exactly? Does it work like this? The first time I apply the Skin to Armor I simply use the Skin to do the change. 5 levels later I get an upgraded piece of Armor. Now I need to use a Transmute Stone to take the old Magitech armor skin and place it over the new, upgraded, piece of armor. Is this correct? If so, I’m fine with that system where the first transmute is “free” but additional ones cost me stones. I just want to make sure that’s how it works before I spend the Gems.

Thanks much!

That’s how it works.

edit: You’ll need a stone per armor piece and crystals when you get level 80 armor, so frequent armor upgrades may get expensive.

Thanks a lot! That’s what I was hoping to hear. I’ve already got a ton of stones from earlier completions and chests so I’ve got plenty to spare.
