hi, i had just bought the incarnate (i think im spelling this correctly) light armor skin. it looks cool but when i bought it and went to the bank to equip it, i couldnt equip the skin. I was wondering if there is any kind of level requirements to use armor skins or if there is something else i have to do first so that i can use it. I bought the trans stones as well so i could use it but for some reason, the option to equip that armor skin isnt avaliable. im a lvl 29 human mesmer. Any kind of help is appreciated. thanks in advance.

Should have access to the skin through the wardrobe tab if the skins unlocked

Once you purchase the skin it should be sent to you by mail click and it will be in your inventory (i) and not your bank. In your inventory double click the skin and it will unlock in your wardrobe. In the wardrobe tab you can now click the new skin to use it on any armor you put on.

You should receive one set of the skin(s) to apply to your current armor at no extra charge (transmutation charge), as well.

Check your mail, and then your inventory.

Good luck.

Check your bank too. If you had the bank tab open at the time that you double clicked the skin then instead of unlocking the skin it put it back in the bank.

Just something to check.

Incarnate is light armor, so you cant put it on medium or heavy. That might be the issue.

It shows it in the Bank Inventory, or it shows it in the Bank Wardrobe?

If you deleted the item you purchased, you can contact the CS Team and discuss the issue with them. Top/Bottom of Page – Support – Submit a Request

Good luck.

If you haven’t unlocked it it will be greyed out in Wardrobe. Go to your actual bank items and type “Incarnate” in the search window. If it’s there, you’ll see it. You can also type “Incarnate” in your personal inventory search.

The process is:

Buy skin in Gem Store.
Receive mail from ANet with item attached.
Take item from mail, it goes into your inventory on the alt you’re on.
Item is moveable from alt to bank, from bank to alt, though not to other players.
Incarnate is a set. You have to double click it to get the six pieces (make sure you have room in your bag). Then the pieces can be banked or used.
Double click an armor piece skin to apply to what you are wearing. This is a free transmute that uses up the skin. So do it on the alt you want to have it while wearing the armor you want to change.
OR right click (I think) and Add to Wardrobe. This uses up the skin without changing any armor and puts it in the Wardrobe for later use via transmute charges.

I don’t know if you could have deleted a mail containing items without a warning message because I never do that, I am obsessive about not deleting things or alts until I’ve stripped them bare of everything.

Anyway, retrace your steps in light of the above process and see if you find where your skin set went.

Well, you can see every skin in the game from the bank guy if you chose to peruse the Wardrobe.

To determine if you have the skins in your possession, it would need to be known exactly where in the bank these ‘greyed-out’ skins are. =)

let me see if i remember where i went to.

i went to lion’s arc, talked to the bank guy, and there was a 3rd option called wardrobe, i searched for my recently purchased skin, and the whole set is greyed out. should i do a support case?

That would be the Wardrobe. As noted above, all skins are available to peruse in the Bank Wardrobe.

If, after a careful search of your Personal Bank Inventory (not the Wardrobe), and each character’s inventory, you fail to find the missing container (with skins)/skins, you can contact the CS Team for assistance.

Good luck.

You should almost immediately receive a response (‘Thank you for submitting your request…’) to the web-form email you send. Later, another email addressing your specific issue will arrive. (Be sure to check spam/junk folders.) The CS Team allows themselves 72 hours to initially address your concerns. If you have had no response within that time period, after the 72 hours you can post your ticket number in the Sticky found in the Tech/Account sub-forum, ‘Tickets for Review 3 Days and Older’.

Good luck.

Did you get a container in the mail after you bought the armor?

When I bought armor I got a container. Clicking on it gave me a full set of skins to apply to armor. Did you ever get that?

Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

Well, I wouldn’t buy right way. Give them a couple of days to look it over and see what happened. If it disappeared they can send you another.

How long ago did you make your ticket? The first auto response should be fast, but sometimes can take longer.

If you haven’t already, read this site and look for problems: Problems receiving Guild Wars 2 emails.

Other than that, normally it’s fast but it’s always possible it’s hung up somewhere in transit. Give it at least 24 hours.
