Thinking about dropping some gems on a skin set that looks BA. However, I don’t want to have to find out that I have to keep spending transmute charges on it as they aren’t very attainable at my current level on my character. I have the Zenith Kris skin which I unlocked a while ago that doesn’t require transmutation charges, but I noticed that some other non-legendary skins (i.e, everything else) does require a transmutation charge to transmute.
Are there certain skins that are exempt from costing a transmutation charge, then? If so, are the store bought ones exempt or do they require a transmutation charge every time you want to apply them?
Outfits don’t require charges. But you can’t mix or max.
Standard armor comes with 1 free charge for each piece and their skins go into your wardrobe for use on additional characters.

So, skins do, outfits don’t, basically?
Assuming the difference there is skins can also be re-coloured with dyes and you can pick and choose what parts of the skin you like
Skins which are from the Hall of Monuments rewards don’t . . . or rather, didn’t . . . require charges. I think ones from achievement rewards didn’t either.
The wiki is your friend.

Well, see, I did look at the wiki. But everything is grouped under one category in the shop.. Style. And I was under the impression they were “skins” as obviously the Zenith Kris is a skin (and not an outfit).

Has that changed? Do those need charges now?
So you are asking about weapon skins then?
Other than the ones you get from the achievement chests, like the Zenith skins, they cost charges. But the ones you buy directly from the gem shop do come with one charge.
Don’t know about the ones you buy with BLC tickets, if they come with a charge or not.

I don’t know, haven’t popped on to check lately. Been too busy RL side away from my computer.
HoM and Achieve skins still doesn’t require transmutes, those are free to use.

Thank you for the confirm.
Outfits, achievement rewards [Zenith, Radiant, and Hellfire] & Hall of Monument rewards do not require charges. Everything else does.

AFTER using the 1 free use for blt skins ……. For example – buy chaos axe – use the skin once at no charge. After that, all other uses from wardrobe – 1 charge per use. This is also the armor skins from blt….

Nope. Outfits, achievement rewards, and Hall of Monument rewards are always free. Infinite use, even from the wardrobe.
Everything else is free apply with initial purchase, xmute charge after the fact.
