Guild Wars 2

Okay, this is a really noobish question, I’m sorry. I’ve been playing GW2 on and off for a long time but I admit, I’m a pretty casual player and I have irl memory problems so I forget things easily lol

Is the only way to view equipment in the game via the trading post? I’m assuming not. This guys thread is really cool: click And I want to create equipment sets similar to that for me and a friend but the sets I want aren’t in the trading post.

Again, sorry for the noob question. Thank you in advance!

(Edit) Oh and another question since I’ve been wondering. I often see people call up banker golems in the tutorial areas for races and put on their awesome looking sets. I assume they’re transmutating their starter/level 1 equipment? But wouldn’t they have to continually transmute their equipment as they level? Wouldn’t that cost like 100 charges?

If you just want to view skins, go to your crafting table and open up the crafting menu. On the left the last icon is for the wardrobe. That will let you view all the skins in the game. If you want to look at stats, search the wiki for them. You can buy most stats and/or skins on the TP.

Banker golems you can buy with gems on the TP. There’s also a version of the game (deluxe edition I believe) that comes with a banker golem. The key farmers buy low level gear, equip it, do the farm run, then store it in their bank before deleting and remaking the character. The new character then summons the golem, does it all over again. Its much less useful for non key farming characters though as it only lasts 2 weeks.

Thank you for the answer to my first question! (edit) How do I preview dyes in the crafting station wardrobe?

I think you misunderstood my second one. I’m talking about people who equip their level 80 sets on level 1 characters. I’m assuming they transmute the gear onto their starting equips. But wouldn’t that mean that as they level they would need to continuously transmute it? Wouldn’t that cost tons and tons of charges?

That’s a lot tougher. There are a few sites dedicated to this, at least to get an idea about the color.

First the wiki.
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Dyes

Then Dulfy

Finally this place
http://www.dboo.net/gw2_colors.html

But you can also go into the trading post and preview a dye across your entire outfit.

Ooh, alright. Thank you so much!

You can’t put a level 80 armor on a level 1 character. You are correct in assuming that they’re using transmutation charges to apply the skin to their level 1 character. And if they keep that character through to level 80 and keep the look the same they’d need to keep using transmutation charges each time they upgraded their gear.

As for how many charges? Anywhere from 60 to 180 charges depending on how many times they reequip and what they reequip. I doubt any player would choose to do this.

These people are probably key farmers. They have one set with the look and the runes they want. Since low level armor is account bound they just use the same armor set for their next key farmer character, no need for additional transmutation charges.
