Guild Wars 2

Can be back item transmuted? Because I would like to aply dragon wings skin as soon as possible, but currently i have only Exotic back item and in future I would like to craft new ascended back item…
Also for applied dragon helm skin, can I trasmute this helm (with dragon skin) with another one (with different stats)? Will be dragon skin kept on new item?

NO.
If you upgrade certain items
ie- Fractal Capacitor, from a standard to an ascended- you will lose the skin.
You should do all item upgrades Before applying these skins.

Yes you can transmute them. You click on the skin you want, the stats you want and the rune/sigil you want, then click transmute.

You will need transmutation stone if you want to re-transmute it again to other item once you apply the skin.

Also as noted above, upgrading ascended will cause you to loss the skin so beware.

Ok, thank you. You meant the helm skin. And what about back item transmutation?

Thanks all for replies! Especially to Tovadaun! I’ll wait for best equip, then I’ll apllied the skins.
