Guild Wars 2

Weapon and Armor skins unlock when you forge them.
The Minis from Old Tom collection do not which means you need an extra one of each to add to your Wardrobe to actually unlock it since unlocking consumes it.
Is this intended? It seems inconsistent from forging weapons and armors.

It is intended. It works this way with all Miniatures thrown into the Forge.

Thanks. I’ll just grab some more Amber Dipoles then.

File a ticket with support about it; they might be able to help out.

FYI for future reference, only weapons and armor skins unlock when used in the forge. Minis (for the wardrobe) only unlock when ‘consumed’ and backpack|trinkets (for collections) only unlock when they are bound. Seems like the forge could offer a warning (since does displays a warning with transmuted items).

Nah its fine. It would be nice if things like this were a bit more consistent. Just like how some of the collection pieces are labeled as having no value except as part of a collection while others don’t and some have merchant values while others don’t and so forth.
