Guild Wars 2

Is the starting backpiece supposed to be seen? Because i couldn’t see it, neither the charred back warmer i got afterwards or more recently the exotic spine blades; also i tried for more than one character all of diff races and profs, with both gear and town cloths and with both checked and unchecked backpiece option (on the hero pannel).

So is there anything im missing, like the user of the backpiece not being able to see it but everyone else can; those particular backpieces are not supposed to be seen; or since im running the game on the lowest possible graphics it just is hidden for me?

Not all backpieces have a skin. For example, a spineguard or the charred back warmer does not have a skin. The Spine Blade one does. I think you have switched off the box that shows your backpiece if you can’t see the Spine Blade? If you press H you’ll see you can switch backpieces on and off like you can with helmets and shoulder pieces.

I’m not sure since that one i only did on one of my characters and only once. What if i buy a Quaggan skin or something, can i apply them on those non-skin backpieces?

Yep. You can put a Quaggan backpiece skin onto any existing backpiece (even if it already has a skin – the old skin will get overidden).

May as well ask, once i use the skin can it still be re-usable? maybe with a transmute stone?

Yes you can re-use, you’ll apply the skin of a backpiece into another backpiece and “merging” both to have the skin of one and the stats of other.

Alright, tyvm Melanie and Belzebu
