Lost a gem store skin to transmute :(
This is why I’m 110% in favor of a costume closet or something similar for account bound skins. GW1 had the hat and costume NPCs, why can’t they add these things here?
Because they think they can make more money this way by selling more transmutation crystals.
I have a stack of 80 regular transmutes and a handful of fine one that gather dust in my bank. I won’t use a valuable irreplaceable skin until I’ve got the item I know I’ll be using permanently to put it on. That’s why I haven’t bought the medium magi tech armor yet. Don’t have the bank space for it or the armor to put it on.
They have the code installed to infinitely vent account bound skins with the achievement skins screen. It wouldn’t be hard to adapt that to an NPC.
