Hi all. I’ve submitted a ticket on this, but I know Anet is busy these days, so I thought I’d try here as well. There’s a good chance I’m just missing something obvious.

I had no intention of using them, but today I was on TP and decided to pick up the Halloween devil horns. Once I received the item, rather than preview it like I should have, I just equipped it directly from inventory. All of my other gear and weapon were instantly gone (not just my hat), replaced by a basic shirt, leggings, and shoes. I checked my bags, and bank, and my original gear is not there. I unequipped the devil horns (why did I even try them—I’m Charr!) and the other clothes, but my gear still seems to be missing.

As it stands now, I’ve unequipped all of the new clothes (I’m naked). I keep a set of magic find gear in my inventory for farming. Oddly, when I mouse-over my magic find gear, it says that I still have my WvW armor set equipped (and all 6 rune bonuses appear active, so all gear must be somewhere), even though I’m clearly naked, with nothing in my gear slots. Additionally, when I log out and go to the Character Select screen, my toon is still wearing the WvW armor.

I kinda feel like I’m missing something obvious on this, but I’m stumped. My gear still seems to exist, but I can’t find it. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

The costume pieces are “town clothes” which means that equipping it visually replaces all of your normal gear. In the Hero panel there’s an icon above the hero to switch between town clothes and normal gear.

Okay, so apparently I needed to toggle my armor on the hero panel (I still think this is confusing, but I’m good now). Sorry for the false alarm. Please feel free to close/delete/whatever this thread. Thanks.

By the way, Jerkstore, taking any damage will automatically boot you back to your armor. You don’t have to toggle, it will self toggle for you if you get in a fight. Though.. this post really is a reminder of how badly the game needs maor tutorial tidbits.

Thanks for the quick reply Jeffrey. I was writing my last comment before you posted, so my last comment seems odd. I’m all set now.
