Guild Wars 2

Does anyone happen to know if one looses the underwater effect after changing the skin of this item?

I’ve seen several people say it’s from the item itself and not the skin.

I haven’t tested or seen it personally, however.

Sadly, yes.

The crystals are a skin-related detail, meaning you will indeed lose them if you change the skin. Similarly however, you can apply this skin to another diving apparatus to add the icy crystals to that. :)

Hope I helped.

The item shares its skin with Leather Aquabreather, it doesn’t show in the wardrobe. So I can’t change it on another diving apparatus. But something is odd. When I do the preview in wardrobe, the aquabreather icon doesn’t show little x in the right corner like other slots do.

Uh-oh, that’s weird then. In that case it is an item unqiue detail, which is weird though, as if you apply another item’s skin to this one it will change its name and all details aside from the stats. So I still am pretty sure the effect disappears. I got some transmutations I dont need, and can try it later on today when I get home to be 100% sure, if you want.

Well if you don’t mind loosing the effect or farming the reward track 2nd time I would appreciate the effort. It your own choice ^^ .

I’ve found a topic o reddit explaining that one can change the skin without losing the effect. Checked it, works.
