Transmog and Halloween weapon skins
To avoid a misunderstanding, let’s explain it this way:
Let’s say you like the skin of Shield A and you have a Shield B.
You transmute the skin of Shield A to Shield B: Shield A is destroyed, and then Shield B has the skin of Shield A.
If you find a Shield C with better stats than Shield B, sure, you can repeat the operation again as many times as you want.
I’ve transmoged my body skin from the cashshop’s Profane armor skins across multiple armors (at least 4 times as I leveled up). Just keep the picture of the equipment that has the design you want, when in the transmog window. At least, that is how it has worked for me. It would surprise me if the shield skin from the halloween event works differently in any way. If someone else can also verify that it should be safe, I’d say go for it.
i’m not sure i understood your question but – if u have a cool looking armor and just got an ugly one but with better stats you can use transmute stones to merge them.
how does the merge works?
you drag both items and then select what you like to keep from each item:
1.looks
2.stats
3.rune
it’s a simple 3 click process – check out youtube for it.(example – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6yPLZkG2oM)
p.s. -this can be repeated endless amount of times (providing u have transmute stones)
Ouch… I am now in need of some very serious dev input.
Based on the comments above, as well as Anthony Ordon’s post (see https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/archive/halloween/Are-the-Halloween-skins-permament/first#post512016), I placed the ghastly grinning shield appearance on a shield with the expectation that I could transmute the appearance to another shield if needed. I have been trying to confirm the feasibility of this, and have been getting negative results. I am able to put the now grinning shield in the “from” box, but the “item transmutation” button is grayed out when I place another shield in the “to” box.
Anthony, if you are listening, please help. Your post, like the posts of others above, suggests that the grinning shield visage should be transmutable to other shields.

Is either item equipped? Transmutation stones cannot be used if the armor is currently being worn. You need to put both items into your bag then drag each one into the window. Once you’ve done that select the “picture” of the grinning shield and then the stats and sigil of the other. Then hit accept. You do not need a transmutation stone for the first use of the halloween skins, but you do need a stone for any other ones. Make sure you are using the right level stone for your armor/weapon as well.

Item transmutation is not automatic. You have to select the look, the stats, and upgrade you want on the final item in the window.
Here’s a video that shows how http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYaJ1bVsiSA

They changed it a few weeks again in a hot fix. You shouldn’t be able to now.
