Guild Wars 2

I surveyed a grand portion of the items available from Karma Vendors across the game and I’ve found that there are a lot of medium head armor items that show the Rogue Helm icon but no skin. Apparently this is due to them pointing to bad skin IDs. The API quotes them as errors.

So if you’ve been wondering why Rogue Helm and any other item that doesn’t reveal what skin it is won’t unlock for you, there’s an answer.

Affected item ids:
SKIN 881
4173 Oldgate Leather Mask
4187 Redreave Leather Mask
4244 Bloodsaw Leather Work Mask
4681 Scout’s Mask
4684 Improved Scout’s Mask
4940 Brackwater Mask
4960 Brackwater Mask

SKIN 1763
5651 Stalker Boots

SKIN 2009
6274 Studded Leather Bracers

SKIN 1570
6305 Chainmail Helm

SKIN 2009
6394 Stalwart’s Bracers

SKIN 1763
6419 Mending Boots

SKIN 2318
37005 Symon’s History of Ascalon
37014 Symon’s History of Ascalon (Infused)
49366 Symon’s History of Ascalon (Infused)

SKIN 2326
37007 Tome of the Rubicon
37016 Tome of the Rubicon (Infused)
49368 Tome of the Rubicon (Infused)

SKIN 2325
37009 Book of Secrets
37018 Book of Secrets (Infused)
49370 Book of Secrets (Infused)

If the original models have disappeared, there are plenty of orphaned skins floating about.

Thanks for this info. It should be quite helpful for ANet’s bug crew when they get around to it.

In the meantime, if you are desperately trying to unlock the Rogue Mask skin, I know for a fact that the karma helm bought from Magister Kathryn in Dredgehaunt Cliffs (she’s at Tribulation Rift) works for unlocking the skin.

Bumping this, I just started a new thread about this issue because I didn’t realize this one existed since it’s several months old. Saw this linked in another thread about Koss on Koss/Book of Secrets. Will try to either delete my post or have it reference back to this one since this list is more complete than mine.

Koss on Koss appears fine. Book of Secrets does not, per the OP by Sariel.

Here are the API links for Koss on Koss

Skin 2376 points to 2376 ->
37001 Koss on Koss points to 2376 which is valid
37010 Koss on Koss (infused) also points to 2376.

Just checked those skins ingame. All Rogue Masks are fixed.
I will also post a new thread with tons of Wardrobe Bugs soon

You can copy/paste the list of “unchanged” above, assuming you don’t already have it covered (pardon the pun).
