Guild Wars 2

Stupidly bought an armor skin, applied it to some armor. Accidentally sold said armor when I found an upgrade. Tried to buy it back, but there’s nothing at all in the tab.

Am I SOL or can I get that part of the skin back somehow? I have transmute stones, but I thought the skin could be applied to anything, whenever. It seems odd anyway that the armor wouldn’t be soulbound after applying the skin.

Sold it to a merchant or on the TP?

What skin was it? if it was the hellfire or radiant pieces, you can find those in your achievements tab. Otherwise you might be SOL if you can’t recover it.

It was one of the gem store skins, the Viper medium armor one. Sold it to a merchant, yeah. For some reason I guess you can’t buy back after you’ve left the NPC.

That is unfortunately the case. Soulbound stuff can be sold to the merchants, unlike the TP.
I would suggest putting in a Support ticket though, perhaps they can help you in that regard.
