Guild Wars 2

Hi,
I have a character that’s ready to use this skin we got from Scarlet: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Scarlet%27s_Veil_Skin

I was waiting for the feature patch, but just realised post-patch it might cost a transmutation charge to use? I know that using it now would cover my original head piece skin and the patch states transmuted items unlock both original and used skin, but doesn’t explain if we still get to use the skin ‘for free’ after the patch.

I.E. do the existing ‘skin only’ items appear only in our wardrobe when we log in, or does the skin item still exist in our inventory? Also in the latter case, does using the item unlock that skin for all armour levels?

Hope that makes sense…

If you use it now you will have to spend a charge to re-apply it. Skin items will still be free to apply and cost 1 charge for every new application after that.

Ok your second part there answers my question – we will still have the skin item, and it is still free to use

So something like the Scarlet’s Veil Skin would be available to all armour levels, I presume? So if I use it on a medium armour guy now, later on I can spend one tranny charge to put it on my heavy character also?

Lazy to look for a quote, but yes, devs stated that such skins will be unlocked for all armour weights.
