Guild Wars 2

I remember getting one when I bought the Collector’s Edition, but ever since the wardrobe came out, I haven’t been able to find it. Am I just SOL, or can i get this back?

Go to the Black Lion Armortrader near most Trading Posts with each of your characters and ask for your townclothes to be converted into armor skins.

Haha .. i still have them in my mailbox, since i was never shure what i should do with them and so left them there instead of wasting bank space

Yes….the town clothes and tonics are now quite annoying in that respect. Never went to the BL Armor guy after the first character because of this.

Problem is I never had it on a particular character, it was in my bank space.

As I understand their blog post, items like this should unlock when you transfer it to a character’s inventory.

“Items that you acquire that are already bound to your account automatically unlock their skin when they go into your inventory. "

You didn’t say when you last saw this item. That’s an important point. Days before the patch? Months ago? If it was months ago then maybe you deleted it by accident. Perhaps you put it on a char and then deleted that char. If it was right before the patch that might be a bug.

If you dont possess the item still, you’re SoL. You wont be given skins in the wardrobe for items you no longer possess, even if you have an achievement tied to it.

Maybe not quite correct. This was a gemstore item and they have been known to replace these. I can see a couple of problems. The ones they replace were bought with real money and not gold. Since it was free there may not be records of “purchasing” it. The other is since it was so long ago and was a commemorative limited time item it’s possible it’s not something they can replace.

My personal suggestion to OP would be to first take every single character you have to the Black Lion Armor trader again, no matter is you are sure you did it. If it doesn’t show up and it’s not in your bank then make a ticket at https://help.guildwars2.com/anonymous_requests/new and ask them.
