Hey all, this is my first post and I am obviously a noob. I got the holo dragon wings as a lucky drop from the Azura starting area. (I kind of freaked out)I’m like level 17 as of now and I’m so new I don’t even know how to put the wings on. If anyone could tell me how and then slap me for being bad, that would be great.
Thanks.

I’m probably obviously new to this, so please excuse any dumb things I ask/post.

Well, first, congratulations!

Second, be very careful with them and collect as much information as you can from as many sources as possible before you do something with them.

Having said that, I’m not ‘super’ sure. I don’t have one yet, but they appear to be a skin for the back piece. If that’s true, then I ‘presume’ you’d use a Transformation Stone or Transformation Crystal (depending on the level of item you will use them on, 80 requires Crystal) to transmute them onto an existing back piece.

I’m not sure what the lowest level back piece is? I think there was a winter holiday bag you could put on at level 1, but if you are new, you probably don’t have one of those.

The vanilla game, no special rewards, I think I got my first back piece around 40? In the middle of my personal story?

At any rate, after you apply it, the back piece you apply it to will have the same stats, but be wings.

As you level and get better back pieces, you can keep using TSs and TCs to migrate the look (the wings) onto better equipment.

So that was my input, to not leave you hanging (though in the time it took me to type this, I’m sure others have replied with more useful 5 word posts :p)

Just bank them and keep asking and get as much input as you can before trying to do anything with them.

The short answer is you can’t put them on without a back piece.

Edit: Here is the write up in the wiki on transmutation. The picture inset on the right is a good before/after picture of how it works. I’ve never used a true ‘skin only’ before though.

Wow, thank you so much for the quick response! I am sure to learn as much as I can before I actually use them or do anything stupid. When you double click on the item in your inventory, it asks you if you want to use the wings normally or in WvW. I chose “normally” and then it asks you to drag an item into a little box to the right of the item to transmute. I am not sure what to do when this comes along. I’m pretty sure I need a back slot item to transmute them to.
My main question that I actually didn’t get across was that I just don’t know where to find any back items to transmute the wings to.
Thanks
