Guild Wars 2

I think it would be great qol improvement if we can unlock skins if we use them in mystic forge. It just happens that i can not equip some weapons at certain moments because i’m not on appropriate class.
I really don’t see a downside if that becomes available.

Right click > add skin to wardrobe

If you put gear into forge, you unlock the skin anyways.

Yeah I was about to say, what the OP requests is already the case. The skins of the weapons and armors you throw in the forge already get unlocked.

Anything that destroys a skin unlocks it in the wardrobe if you dont have it yet.

You can also directly go to the wiki by using a chat command in game:

If you type /wiki Wardrobe in the chat window, your browser will automatically open on the corresponding wiki page.

There is a really annoying exception to the rule that the “mystic forge unlocks skins automatically” — it doesn’t work for non-armor|weapon skins for progressing collections.

• In particular, you can’t get Sam, Rhendak’s Signet, etc into your collections by using them in the forge. Trinkets have to be unlocked first before using the forge.
• Minis can only be unlocked by adding them to the wardrobe (which destroys them). Using them in the forge does not unlock them.

My rule of thumb is: right-click to “add to wardrobe” before forging — that way, I don’t have to worry about whether it fits into category A (unlocks automatically) or category B (it doesn’t unlock automatically).

The difference is add to wardrobe and add to collection, i guess.

Of course you cant unlock skins from trinkets because they dont have skins.
