Guild Wars 2

It’s my understanding that I can unbind a skin from piece of soulbound equipment by transmuting the skin onto a white rarity item of the same type. In otherwords, I can unbind a soulbound mask by transmuting it on to a white mask. Is this correct?

If so, can this work with starter, class specific gear? For example, can I use this to give my level 80 thief an anonymous hood again? (I deleted mine way back).

If so, are the class restrictions removed? For example, could I make a brand new necro, give him the wraith mask, unbind it, and then give it to my ele?

Any answers would be appreciated.

Yes it works, I gave the anonymous hood to my ranger from my thief.
No, it doesn’t remove armor restriction, medium skin can be used only by medium armor classes.
I would wait till the April 15th update, since it will be WAY easier to apply an unlocked skin (such as starter armor) to any other gear.

Thanks on both accounts!

Well… Maybe easier but not cheaper.

Right now you use a stone to unbind, move it to the 2nd character then a crystal to get lvl 80 stats on it.

The new system will use charges, 3 stones = 1 charge, so you better of doing it now.

Similarly, right now for a full armor (
under level 80) you use 6 stones, after patch it’s gonna be 18 stones.

I used to experiment a lot while leveling, stones are (were) easy to come by, and specially before luck was introduced when armor on the TP was dirt cheap, after patch I won’t bother till level 80 which is a bit if a shame.
