ancafr.9274 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Are those weapons skins from gemstore unlimited use like the zenith weapons or they cost trasnmutation change to use? I'm thinking to buy this new dreamwalker, same question goes for all gemstore weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schimmi.6872 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 If you buy a skin from the gemstore you can use it one time for free like other skins, after that you will need charges. The only skins that can always be used for free are the Zenith and Pinnacle weapons and the Hellfire and Radiant armor (from the achievment rewards).

Doggie.3184 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 First use is free, then trans stones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancafr.9274 Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 Thanks for the reply, LOL so there is no points spending 600 gems on an item that is not even unlimited use I better save my gems for something more useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I don't know, if you like a skin a lot, how often are you going to change it? It's not like Transmutation Charges are hard to come by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshaeko.5647 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I was also confused the first time I bought an armor skin set with gems. The skin is unlocked for your whole account when you use it. After having used it, you will need to use a Transmutation charge afterwards to use it on a different weapon or revert back. Transmutation charges are plentiful in WvW.

If that's your take on skins, then you're going to sorely hate doing Fashion Wars since ALL skins except the ones from Achievement Milestones (Zenith/Pinnacle/etc.) will cost you transmutation charges. On top of that, a LOT of the stuff in the shop is one-time use only before you have to buy it again (again, this does not apply to everything in the shop, but to most things). If you really don't care to do that, then convert gold to gems and buy the skin so you don't have to spend your money on, what I assume, you perceive to be a bad deal. Honestly, though, Fashion Wars won't be for you if that's the case. Good luck, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GummyBearSummoner.7941 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I really wish skins from the gem store didn’t require a trans stone. I always found it stupid if I’m being honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always found it stupid if I’m being honest Same here, waste of gems/cash in my opinion. There are many other really nice(and CHEAPER) weapons skins for gold and even for free in game. If they were free of charge then it would worth every cent/gem spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kharmin.7683 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 It's a free game. ANet has to make money somehow. As fashion wars is such a thing, transmutation stones are one way for them to make money. But, as was previously stated in the thread, transmutation stones are fairly easy to acquire in-game, especially in WvW so you really don't need to buy them.

Not really ''free'', we gotta pay for the expansions and the items on gemstore are paid in $$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davros.9823 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 How do people run out of transmutation charges? Just do some more map compleation, play some wvw or pvp. Trans charges are really easy to come by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The base game is free. Expansions and gemstore items are optional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
