Guild Wars 2

Hello, I’m thinking about buying some gems to get new skins.
My question is: if I buy something (like a weapon skin, a uniform, the kite) can I use it with all my characters or every item is limited to only one character?

When you buy a skin, you can apply it for free once. You also unlock it for your account in your wardrobe but it will cost transmutation charges to apply it.

For some items, such as the kite, they should say account bound at the bottom when you hover over the item.

Weapon and armor skins are automatically stored in your account wardrobe. They’re free to apply the first time, and while you can use them on other characters at any time after that, you will need Transmutation Charges to do so.

I know that the kites are account-bound, and you can swap them between characters as much as you want via the bank. I’m pretty sure other toys work this way as well. Minis will soon be account-wide unlocks. Until the patch comes out next Tuesday, you can freely trade minis back and forth between characters anyway.

buy the item once, it will go into your wardrobe and you can use it unlimited times on any character you have. however, each use will require a transmutation charge. you get more T charges through the gem store, map completion, opening black lion chests, and a few other places as well. depending how important looks are you to, you’ll either be overflowing with T charges or never have enough. But no matter what, they are far cheaper than whatever gem item you want to buy.
the caveat is that you apply that skin over another item. so if you buy belinda’s ninja sword, you can put it on a second character, but that second character needs to have a greatsword to put the skin onto that will overwrite the items original skin (these items are usually pretty cheap from the TP – exotics are around 1-3g from the TP)

Thank you guys!
