Guild Wars 2

Hello all,

I need some guidance it seems, trying to plan out my exotic level armor. I plan on transmuting skins onto exotics that drop, so no dungeons or karma vendors.

My main confusion is over stats. Do “Crest of the …” equal what is found naturally on dungeon/karma exotics? If I use Crests on my exotics will it be equivalent to a dungeon exotic or would it be a lesser armor because its customized. I plan on using crafted armor skins on exotic drops (for max defense stats).

Thank you in advance for any help.

Is there any GW2 Trial Key out there to invite friends/family to try?

Thanks
