Q:

No idea if this is in the correct part of the forums (sorry if not), but i’d like to know if once you buy a set of armor on the gem store, if you unlock it for the account or just one time…say if i transmute something else over the skin i bought, will that skin be lost? do i have to buy it again or can i aquire it again by clicking a button, like the achievement skins?

It’s one time use. But you can re-use it with a transmutation stone.

I believe it’s a one-time skin, though by using transmutation stones/crystals you can transfer the look to another item if you want to.

Any plan that involves dead quaggans is, by design, foolproof. I’m an unmitigated genius!

The gem store armor is single use only. If you want to reuse it, you’ll need transmutation crystals (or stones if your armor is below level 80).

One time use, and once the skin is applied, it is spent. The only way to get it back is by using transmutation splitters (one splitter for every iteration i think) or re-buying it from the gem store…unless it’s the original flamekissed one, then you’re just sol with the rest of us.

Unfortunately, splitters do not return skin items. If you have an item that had a skin applied to it and you use a splitter on it…you lose the skin. Sad, huh.

Uhhh….

One time I split an exotic berserker staff with a dragon’s Jade skin on it. I got the skin back (as a statless item that requires transmutation, but still a skin similar to old fractal weapons) the sigil and a crafted berserker staff (soulbound).

From what I understand is that if the skin itself is a rare quality or higher it will come back as a skin skin, and other wise you get the statless item as a skin.

Oh, I’m quite shocked to hear that they finally got around to fixing it. It had been a commonly reported issue in the bugs forum almost every day since the splitters were introduced. Thanks for informing me of that.

You can try to contact support and see if they can restore the item with your krytan armor, or maybe give you the skin again. It’s worth a try.
