theres some lvl 80 hood skins....don't know what you guys are speaking about not having any hoods,, also Anet addressed about starter skins, and said they will add them as drops more often down the road, ect, so no need to do any of this at all.

The only hoods are the starter medium hood which has 2 choices, order of whispers, and CoE. Those are the only real hoods i've found in the game. There are not that many in the game as it is. Personally i like the starter hood best. I have sent a support ticket to ANet asking about this and they would neither confirm or deny that this is a legitimate method to acquire this hood.

Still works, 2-11-2012

[Icharios]

I wonder.. can you do this with the engi backpack?

[Rowland]

On the subject of it being legit. It is probably not intentioal, but I doubt we will all get banned if we do this, while moving armor to other professions (rangers with hoods etc.) is really an exploit, regaining the hood on your thief is just convinient. There is not much gain in it (looks) and it does not harm other players or the game as a whole.

I kinda hope (and think) A-net has intentionaly left this bug in for this problem to be fixed, but is not being to mouthy about it, because of exploit concerns (hooded rangers etc.)

[Minion]

Don't think hooded rangers are a problem. Rangers wear hoods IRL. Remember the famous hooded ranger? Went by the name of Robin. Stole from the rich, was a greedy git.

well actually there is cause i didn't like the look of those few hoods and i didn't want to wait months for my thief to have a hood.

[PurpleAegis]

apparently it is now you can get banned for doing this.... since i just got banned for transmuting and transferring a couple of these start up items

[wimgore]

That's ridiculous and untrue.

[PurpleAegis]

I just got banned a couple of hours ago after transferring 2 of the guardian start up items to my warrior the helm and the shoulders i got a pop up saying my account is blocked. And now i am awaiting an answer back from GW2 support....

[Toryne]

Highly doubt that you got banned for transmuting and transferring things like this considering I transmuted my thief helm literally 2 days ago without issue. I would wait to see what they say from the ticket.

might be because i made botting names such as aslkdjf and was reported as a bot.....

[NachyoChez]

As of yesterday, I could not place a 'Soulbound' item onto a Transmutation stone.  Looks like the most recent patch removed this..

Can anyone confirm?

Looks like you did something wrong. Just tried it with Vigil Leggings from my Vigil character onto Crafting Cleric Leggings for my Whispers character, everything worked fine,

[NachyoChez]

So I double checked, and I'd missed a step (namely the 'convert with a white then transfer' part)

Worked liked a charm to take get a lvl 65 medium karma mask from my warrior onto my thief!  Thanks guys!!

[Dipsy]

I just did this with orders gear. I chose whispers on my thief, but I really like the vigil gear, so I decided to try it out with my necromancer who is a vigil member. It worked like a charm I am now a whispers member wearing vigil gear, yay! thanks

[Sazasmash]

I destroyed the stalwart's jerkin you get from the personal story thinking it was unimportant to me. Turned out not only was it a skin I really wanted, but the only sure way to get it was from that one step of the personal story. I leveled an alt to that point in the story and was able to use this trick to get that skin over to my main (transferred it over today). Thank you!

[Dzula]

I've just tried to transmute monocle for the first time, and it says in description: Account Bound. Must be the Lost Shore patch change.

[imrail]

So it is not possible if it is account bound?

[NachyoChez]

The opposite imrail.

It appears ANet made the item display correctly after transmutation, which would mean (to me) they're endorsing it.

[OcRaM]

I tried it today and I can't transmute it.

The click boton stays gray... I did the same thing 1 month ago and It worked.

can you show the other mask used? i've done the same for the nerco mask and it worked only with a crafted mask (the cheaper).try to buy the cheaper crafted head gear for medium armor.the acolyte "helm" for example didn't worked for me

[OcRaM]

Problem solved. I have to try 5 diferents mask though...

[Ravrohan]

So is it still possible to do?  I had some higher level armor skins to transfer from my thief to my lowbie ranger but kept putting it off.  I'm going to be pretty annoyed if its to late now. :/

[OcRaM]

I did it yesterday... It seems it doesn't work with all head pieces. Like i said... I had to try with 5 diferents kinds.

Do you remember what those hoods had in common?

[OcRaM]

It was a blue one for lvl 17 i bought in the TP. 47 copper.

I forgot the name... sorry.

[Threx]

I used the normal (white-named) mask that I bought from the basic armor vendor on the north side of Lion's Arch. That one worked for me.

That worked for me, too. Only thing is, I first bought a mask with a L80, and that didn't work. The only low level I have is a L30 thief, and it worked with the L30 mask I bought.

Had the same experience with masks from the TP. All white, varying levels, none worked.

[Elth]

Still works as of 12/6/12.
I used a level 10 white cap from Divinity's Reach (Just near the bank).
