Guild Wars 2

Don’t know if anyone has already posted this issue but, the skin on the gloves and boots of light cultural T1 and T3 Sylvari armor always mess up as soon as my Sylavri elementalist get’s into the water. I can’t confirm if this also happens to T2 Sylavri light cultural armor or medium and/or heavy Sylvari cultural armor. I used celestial dye to make it better visible and made some screenshots that can be found here :

I wouldn’t mind this happening to any other armor, but to an armor set that costs 119 gold it’s a disgrace and i hope ArenaNet fixes this quickly.

The same thing happens with light ascended boots.

It’s a common bug with the Sylvari Cultural Armor. It triggers when you go underwater while wearing Graveborn Aquabreather or Tequatl Aquabreather – the textures of these masks somehow get rendered onto some parts of the cultural armor creating the look depicted in your screenshots.
I had the same problem and there is no way to fix it other than changing textures of your aquabreather – I’d suggets getting the Consortium Breathing Mask of TP (it’s what I did) and transmute your mask into it. Hope that helps

happens to my norn friend’s hotw armor too – i think it’s a bug for everyone

Hmm, the T3 gloves used to have an issue with the texture turning white/red after swimming. Reported it over a year ago and it got fixed a couple of months later.

But seems it has decided to break again with something new. Very strange indeed. I don’t spend much time in/out of water lately so hadn’t noticed.
