Guild Wars 2

Hello,

If I have a Beta Fractal Capacitor and apply a skin to it, say Desert Rose, and then want to upgrade the back item to the full Fractal Capacitor later will I be able to? Will it revert to the glowing Fractal Capacitor look or continue to look like the Desert Rose? I know there are some thing that can’t be mystic forged if they are transmuted but I’m not sure if that applies to this.

Thanks

Pretty sure you can’t. A lot of upgradeable items have the “This item can’t be upgraded if transmuted” flag on them, and initially this flag was put on specifically because of the Fractal Capacitor, and how it had no such warning yet still couldn’t be upgraded if transmuted.

Now, no idea if this was changed, or if the change to the wardrobe system fixed this and made it redundant. But to play it safe, keep the beta capacitor until you upgrade it to the full Fractal Capacitor, unlock the glowy skin, then put the desert rose on it.
