Change starter armour set
No. and Yes.
It’s soul bound but you can get around it like this:
You can start a new character, necro, pick the skull mask.
Once you get through the opening buy a blue or white headpiece from the tp. Use a transmutation stone on it. Picking the mask face and the blue/white stats. It should now be account bound. put it in your bank. Pick it up with your other necro. Use a transmutation stone / crystal to put it on your necro.
You have 3 different choices at the start. If you decide throughout the game that you would like a other option there are different possibilities.
a) buy from tp or npc (depending which skins you’re looking for)and transmute your current (you will need Transmutation Stones and Crystals, depending on the level of your character’s armor)
b) buy from Gem Store (if you’re looking for “unique” masks that are not available or purchasable from a NPC)
c) use an open slot to create a new alt, pick the mask you want and transmute it and put it in your bank (Transmuting an item makes it account bound when applied to a white item)
