So I got the wind catcher skin from a the fortune scrap vendors, converted it into a pvp back piece. Then I bought the sun catcher skin and the lighting catcher skin, converted those into pvp back pieces. The problem is that only the skin from the vendor can be deposited into the pvp locker, where as the skins bought from the trading post have no option to store them into the locker. Is this a bug or?

I still can’t store catcher back skins bought from the TP into the pvp locker, but only the vendor one can be deposited. This is a bug for sure.

Still on the list with the many other bugs that came about in recent game updates :\
Tracker – Living Story/Game Update Bugs

Prior to the Catcher back skins, all existing back skins were either tradeable or account bound, not both (unless the holo-wings skin acquired with jorbreakers from the merchant were also account bound, though I don’t think a single player in the game actually bought those with jorbreakers since that was 100k zhaitaffy for it to be known if they were account bound or not). This allowed there to only be one version of the back skin as well as only one space in the PvP locker for each back skin in the game; one item, one slot. So having this new item that is released in both forms with the way the system currently works, it should have been foreseen during creation that they would only have one slot in the PvP back skin gallery, but two skins.

The skin acquired from trading in Fortune Scraps is the Account Bound version and is made so to prevent players from buying the skin with scraps to then sell for gold, it is also the only version that can be deposited into the PvP Locker. As the two versions cannot be stacked with eachother, being two different items, yet both tradeable and account bound versions are desired to exist in the game, I see a couple of ways to resolve the issue.

Solutions ( difficulty rated by time and effort it might take to implement)

“Easy”: Inform (was only an option before they were made available to players)

  • Simply add a note to the tradeable skin’s tool-tip that it is not PvP Locker compatible. To simply inform the players of the limitation so they can then look to acquire the different versions of the items with that in mind is the quickest and easiest way to solve the problem.

“Medium”: Duality

  • Add an additional slot for the tradeable version to the PvP Locker, resulting in two slots for a single back skin appearance. A little more time and effort to implement and it solves the problem, but not in any way the ideal solution.

“Hard”: Conversion

  • Upon depositing the tradeable version into the PvP Locker, the act of submitting it to being deposited tells the game to convert it into the Account Bound Version, which then deposits into the PvP Locker just as the normal Account Bound Version does. There are similar mechanics already existing in the game (transmutation, for one) that can accomplish this task, though it would be done behind the scenes. Otherwise, running a simple “if, then” would also be more than sufficient, and probably much less code:
    -Deposit item-
    IF item# = tradeable-item#
    THEN create account-bound-item
    destroy tradeable-item
    deposit account-bound-item
