I’ve been leveling a few crafts on my alts recently, and been using gw2crafts.net to do so. With the wardrobe system though, I’ve been thinking about whether there are any guides to unlocking as many skins as possible through crafting. Does anyone know of any existing?

I understand it might not mix well with actually leveling, but to me its an interesting extra aspect of crafting at the moment.

It also made me wonder why I have to craft an item and them wear or salvage it to unlock the skin. I just made it! So it’d be nice if crafting an item unlocked the skin at the same time.

Use the guide below and search for Crafted. Not sure if it will show all crafting skins or just most.

To unlock a skin in your wardrobe, you need to either:

a. Equip it (making it account bound/soulbound)
b. Destroy it (this includes salvaging it or throwing it into the Mystic Forge)
c. Right-click on the item and select “Unlock Skin”. (This will also make the item account bound.)

I unlocked a lot of skins for my Fashion Collector title via crafting (or by purchasing cheap crafted items on the TP). One thing to remember is that kitten, T4 and T5 non-Rare crafted weapons all have unique skins. (They use the same skin, but with different colour schemes.)

I get this, I just think it’d make sense(from an RP perspective) for there to be:

d. Craft it

I guess i’ll just have a look in my crafting lists for items I’ve not unlocked the skins for.

You forgot 4. Mystic forging (it’s “destroying”, in a sense).
You unlock the skin of any weapon or armor piece you chuck into the forge.

Not to be picky but you can also:
e: Salvage.

I would love an option in the crafting menu for a check box to “show locked skins”

Fine, fine… I updated my initial post to reflect that you can also salvage and Forge items to unlock their skins.
