Guild Wars 2

The Skin Extractors are tools which help to unlock the skins of weapons and armors for the account.
They are used on items of all rarities
They are consumed when used
They reproduce the skins without destroying the items

The Rewards NPC in Hall of Monuments will have all these unlocked skins to be bought anytime like the Original GW1 rewards.

The new players will only be able to use the newly unlocked skins, while the GW1 players will have another tab for these new skins.

The Skin Extractors will be of 2 types:
Weapon Skin Extractor and Armor Skin Extractor

Weapon Skin Extractor – 20 gems / piece
Armor Skin Extractor – 15 gems / piece

The prices should be cheap enough so people feel motivated to use them to unlock the common skins too.

Why not just use basic and fine transmutation stones?

Why not just use basic and fine transmutation stones?

Did you read the entire post or just the title?

Transmutation stones are destroying one item in the process, plus you can’t use the skin on two or more similar items in the same time without having the required amount of the same items. Obviously, you don’t know what Hall of Monument NPC does and probably you haven’t read this forum about player’s request for a wardrobe feature.
There is no reason to make a new “wardrobe” window or feature while we have the HoM merchant that does just that. it only needs to add a code for the HoM access in all accounts.

Transmutation stones are obtainable in the game, while these Skin Extractors will be available only in cash shop.
