Guild Wars 2

Contrary to other item skins (armor) in the gem store, the Staff, Axe, and Dagger skins from this last update do not specify that they are usable only once:

“Double-click to consume.
Double-click to apply this look to any other dagger.” (Marjory’s Dagger Skin)

as opposed to:

“This glove skin has no stats of its own and can be applied once to replace to appearance of another gloves item of any weight class.” (Toxic Gloves Skin)

I was under the impression that since it didn’t specify the “usable once” part, they could be used more than once (without using the Transmutation Splitter), possibly through an unlock or something like that. Now I wasted gems on a skin I can use only once even though the description doesn’t say so.

Why is that not mentioned?

“Double-click to consume." It is consumed after use.

its a money sink man why be able to use the skin more then once that would effectively make transmutation stones worthless if you want the skin bye stone tranfer skin to white item then to the desired item.

I can read. The armors also say the item is consumable. When you double-click to consume the armor pack, it unpacks the six skins in your backpack. The consume part in the description for the weapon skin is also to unpack the skin. Once unpacked, the item is in the backpack and ready for use. The armor skins are consumable items too, but they specify they can only be applied once. The store description for this item does not say so.

The skins bought on the gem store could be usable more than once, like the ones gained through the achievement points. The stones would still be useful for the skins bought from the Black Lion skin trader, etc.

All the skins are usable only once. It’s always been like that, with the AP skins being the sole exception.
