Guild Wars 2

So there are several back-items that have been added into the Living Story. Some have to be purchased/made, but some are earned just by completing achievements. It’s specifically this that I’m hoping some light can be shed on. I have unfortunately re-skinned my Sclerite Karka Shell. At the time, this was the the only exotic or above back item obtainable with Healing Power, so naturally as other back items became available, I have replaced the look on more than one occasion (but I think only twice, which is why I’m really hoping to have an answer!).

As this is one tied to an achievement, I have proof on my account that I had previously earned this item and maybe other items that I will see is missing from my Wardrobe. For this reason, I am wondering if I can request the skin being re-issued to my account so that I can put it into the Wardrobe for my characters after the patch release and how I might contact the correct people to be able to do this for me.

From what I’ve gathered from reading various responses, anything that’s been re-skinned will give you 2 skins in your wardrobe, the original skin that the item had, and the current skin it now has. I’ll admit I may be misinterpreting this, but that’s how I read it.

What i am hoping is they let us send in a support ticket with a screenshot as proof and they will add it to our wardrobe. I too am in a similar spot but unfortunately mine disappeared out of my bank due to some kind of bug.

My best suggestion would be to send in a support ticket and ask. They can take them on a case by case basis, but we have to keep in mind that they have to draw the line somewhere as to what and how much they can restore. Proof or otherwise. You are not the only person they would need to do it for, and it could be extremely taxing on the system to run a query to check and restore historic items for 100s, if not 1000s of players.

Another one of these…ugh. There are probably a half dozen of these threads out there. They’ve already answered this question too, you won’t get back items you have destroyed. If you destroyed it, you did so knowing you’d never have a chance to get it back. If you transmuted it once, you get the both skins, if you transmuted multiple times, you get two of the skins. End of story.

You can read up on this topic in the Knowledge Base. CS has already stated they will not be able to replace lost, destroyed, deleted or whatever befell your skins. Transmuted skins will give you the two most recent items. No need to send in a ticket.

Actually, it’s the first and last skin that will be returned—the original skin of the item that had the stats, and the last skin that was on it.

I have the same problem as the OP and am one of the people who have posted about the issue (to the chagrin of Invictuses everywhere): https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/4-15-skins-update-Achievement-skins/3848016

I think if it was an Achievement award and is still visible as having been completed (we can even preview the skins we earned, still, from the Achievement pane), they should retroactively credit them to our wardrobe—in effect making them just like the other, newer Achievement skins (Hellfire, Zenith) which can be withdrawn infinite number of times, and had been that way even before the wardrobe system.

Yeah, they changed the Knowledge Base after that was posted. Either whoever wrote it was mistaken, or it was changed how it worked (which is unlikely). Lol.
