Guild Wars 2

Hello, I’m new to the game and playing an Asura Warrior (female). I love her but I noticed the skins for light armor are a lot better than heavy…

So, is there any way I can skin light armor into heavy armor equipment? Or am I stuck with plate stuff.

Your only option (if you want to keep your heavy armor char) is to buy “Outfits” from the Gem Store. They can be worn by any armor/weight class. But keep in mind that you cannot mix-and-match when wearing Outfits. The only “customization” options with Outfits is the ability to hide the headgear and hands.

Can you hide the shoulders as well?

I’d rather not go for outfits because i’d have to get stupid amounts of gold to exchange for gems… sadly 10 usd is a LOT of money in my 3rd world country and I just can’t. I already bought the core game to not be a freeloader, but that is my limit… so getting the gold is my only option.

That said… both the Arcane and scientist ones looks good. Something to aim for long term I guess!

Thanks for all the replies, sorry for my bad english.

Currently, headgear and hands are the only ones that can be hidden. (I’ve seen something about “invisible shoes” recently, but I’m assuming that would be a separate piece of gear, which you wouldn’t be able to use with Outfits).

The Mad Scientist Outfit is awesome. I just purchased that one myself, and I’m very happy with it.

When you’re first starting out, gold is very hard to make. But once you hit level 80, it comes a lot easier. And you’ll hit level 80 very quickly. I’m a casual player, and I hit 80 in just under a month. leveling in this game is crazy-fast!

Good luck to you, and welcome to the game!

Unfortunately no. You would have to make a different character that utilizes light armor to be able to use light skins

You can always use Outfits for any armor type if you’re into that as well.

Just wanted to correct my previous post… the shoulders can also be hidden. Sorry about that! I don’t know how I forgot about that. Must have been having a senior moment… :P
