Q:

Could anyone tell me if the armor skin packages from the black lion trading co (specifically the medium flamewalker armor skin) are one time use or if you can use them over and over again when you replace armor pieces.

Thanks in advance

One time use, but you can use them over again with a transmutation crystal.

Can you explain what you mean. I can buy an item that will allow me to use the skins over again when needed?

Do you mean I can use a transmutation crystal to copy the look of my old item that had the flamewalker skin to a new item im replacing it with? Sorry for the newb questions I haven’t done any transutation in gw2.

First thing I would do is get the yellow crystals & some under level 80 gear to play around with so you learn how it works… Its really easy but you really should be familar with it before using it on Gem items.

It’s really stupid tbh. Armor bought from the gem store should store on your account just like the armor skins you get from achievement milestones. Then, if you decide to change your build you could just reskin the new armor with the armor skins you already bought. As it stands, you have to basically destroy (by transmuting) your existing armor. Currently, I have Dire armor w/the magitech skin on my engy. I would like to try out celestial armor, but I’m not destroying my existing Dire armor in the process. Plus, I refuse to give them more money to use a skin I already bought…..

Also, I have 3 sets of armor on my mesmer. I would cost me $30 to skin all of them. I’d gladly pay $10 to be able to skin all 3. Instead, anet makes nothing off me.
