Guild Wars 2

So when the Charr back pieces first went up on the Gem store, I was thrilled and immediately bought a few. Being the blonde I am, I put it on a Tome of the Rubicon that’s NOT infused, just purple.

If I infuse it because now I’m considering it, will I lose the skin?

Anyone? I honestly don’t want to lose the skin.

Hmm I haven’t tried this, but as far as I remember transmuting two items creates a new unique item. This could mean 2 things:

a) You can no longer infuse the back item
Search for the thread where someone wanted to forge Eternity from Dawn and a transmuted Twilight. As the transmuted Twilight was no longer the original Twilight item (different item ID) the player wasn’t allowed to use it in the forge. The same could be true for transmuted back items.

b) It will work and you get the infused item without the skin
When you infuse items with an upgrade, the upgrade disappears. The Mystic Forge returns a completely new item (as if you looted it). By analogy, this would mean the skin is also removed.

I’m not sure what would happen, but I don’t think you can keep the skin. Either the forge won’t accept it or you loose the skin…

You can no longer infuse transmuted item

Guh.

Thanks for the replies, guys.

wierd because i can infuse my back piece ( Halloween skin) atleast the back piece can be combned with the ingedients, i havent tried in fear of losing the skin so idk.
