Q:
My Krytan Armor Skin has never transmuted over something I have made as a leatherworker. I am now making 80 lvl pieces better than any drop I have but can’t use the KAS no matter which transmutation stone I use. Has anyone had this problem or is the transmutation set up to not work on your self crafted armor?

Are you suing fine transmutation stones ( the blue ones)?
I used the armour all the way to 50 never had a problem Transmutating it. Must be a bug of some kind
I guess it does sound like a bug unless you haven’t tried transmuting your own crafted armor because that is where it doesn’t work for me.
I believe the Krytan Armor Skin from the doesn’t use transmutation stones. Try double-clicking on it, it should bring up the transmutation window, then just drop the armor you want transmuted in. I haven’t used it myself, but this is the way the Heritage Armor and weapons work for me, so I’m assuming all the vanity skins work the same way.
No, you double click on the KAS set to use it the first time then you have to use transmutation stones to re-skin more armor with it. I have never been able to use a transmutation stone to re-skin self crafted armor with anything. Even HoM reward armor won’t re-skin my self crafted armor.
If it has never worked, this may not be the issue, but the most recent patch changed the behavior of transmutation stones and equipped armor. You can no longer transmute armor while you’re wearing it. You can set everything up and the button will say “good”, but pressing it does nothing. You have to remove the armor first.
I’ve successfully transmuted the lvl 80 masterwork crafted Heavy armor to a skin used by a lower level, also crafted armor (also masterwork I believe). I was also able to do the same with Vigil armor pieces and lvl 80 masterwork armor. Did not try with exotics though.
It does indeed sound like a bug too me, though maybe I’m wrong.
The last patch made it so you can’t transmute armor if you’re wearing it. May want to check that too.
That’s odd, I’ve always been able to transmute self-crafted armor, both with HoM skins and transmutation stones. Both Heavy Armor from Armorsmith and Medium from Leatherworker.
Got it! Today Oct. 2 was the first day I made the lvl 80 armor. The patch notes for Oct. 1 state that equipped armor can no longer be transmuted. I unequipped the armor and was able to transmute to KAS. Maybe I have been bugged with my crafted stuff and needed to un-equip it for transmutation all along. Anyway it works by taking it off then transmuting. Thanks all for the help.
