The new wardrobe change is stinky poopoo clunky but it maintains the functionalities of the old wardrobe system. If you're like me and bought equipment templates in the past for different fits, they all still work as different fits. Here's how to do that:

Uncheck "Apply on equipment change". When checked, this option will override any look you have with whatever is in your current fashion template. I also run around with empty fashion templates and uncheck my outfit just to be sure. This will mean all your different equipment templates will retain their original looks.

2. If you want to change one or multiple skins/dyes, you click on the slot you want to change and pick the new skin/dye. For example, let's say I want to change only my shoulders and pants. I change the shoulders and pants slot and don't bother touching the rest of my gear.

3. We now click save and then there are two ways to apply it: 1) Right click the gear slot (in this case shoulders and pants) and click "Apply this slot"; 2) Click "Apply to equipment". Make sure your outfit is unchecked when you hit "Apply to equipment" because if it's checked it'll apply the outfit instead of the skin. CLUNKY.

4. We can now enjoy the fruits of our labor. Observe, equipment templates that retain their unique looks.

My thoughts below regarding the system:

I think the new system is super clunky and very opaque in what toggles what, how it works, etc. Mukluk did a stream with Anet that goes over everything but this is a system redesign that definitely could've gone through several more rounds of feedback + editing to find something with good clarity and streamlined functionality. I also think the fashion templates feel money exploitative. I can see how this system helps a certain kind of player (someone who wants only a few looks, leveling players who don't want to keep reskinning leveling gear, people who want to make and store a ton of different outfits). Ultimately, I think it's important to be informed on how the system works allows us to give very targeted constructive feedback to Anet so they can improve upon it.

Basic template info I have from initial exploring, please feel free to reblog and add more tips if anyone else has any:

- whatever armor set you're on when you go into the template tab, it will ask if you want to save that one for free. Make sure you're on the armor set you want a free save on.

- if you swap characters with the template tab up, it will be up on the new character too so it'll force an immediate template save without swapping options.

- you can STILL SAVE OTHERS AFTER it's just that the first is free of transmute charges so it pays to be clever with it.

- right clicking on a template tab lets you import the look and dyes your armor currently has

- clicking to apply a template to your armor does so without asking for confirmation, BE CAREFUL with that button.

- buying new template tabs is account-wide, not character locked. Which is nice.

- don't bother hiding or unhiding pieces in the template rn, you can still do so on the armor tab and it only works there really.

- UNCHECK OUTFITS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD they're so fuckig buggy rn. Uncheck them, do not apply them in the first place unless you want to be stuck in them.

- if you ARE stuck in an outfit, uncheck it and template swap ad nauesum until it finally goes away.

- currently, applying any armor skin uses its default dyes so you'll need to dye from scratch unless transported directly from your armor look.

- dyes can only be applied in addition or an armor skin being applied, not freely without.

that initial free template set captures ALL skins including all your weapons and gathering tools and everything. If you go to add a second template, swap your equipment pieces manually first and then right click on the second wardrobe template tab to fetch your current armor. It will again fetch ALL your equipments; make sure you delete from the template any skins that you never change (gathering tools, any weapons or individual pieces that both templates share, etc) or else it will cost you transmute charges again.

achievement skins still work correctly and do not cost a transmute charge to apply to a template, and you can still apply skins from your character’s inventory like before.

If you want to hide or unhide a piece via the wardrobe template or change dyes, you will have to hit the apply button. Always double check to make sure it isn’t trying to consume transmute charges. This means that there is no current way to change dyes on armor that doesn’t belong to a template, without committing them to a template, which is a huge blind spot of this new feature.

This system seems to have completely replaced the old, which is now imposing limits to creative freedom that weren’t there before. All transmutes can now only be applied via a wardrobe template tab. If you want to, for instance, make a funny hat for your character to whip out from their inventory whenever, you’ll need an empy template tab to do that. If you’ve already used your two free tabs, then you’ll either need to buy a new one, or delete one of your templates to clear out the tab, use it to apply your one hat skin, and then spend transmute charges to remake the initial tab you had to delete. If you’re the type who crafts really huge invisible bags in order to carry around lots of fancy outfits for your character, you may want to stick to doing things the old way and only use the template tab to apply the skins to your equipment pieces, as if it were the old wardrobe tab, and then continue to manually swap equipment pieces to change outfits. Just always double check everything before you apply, as it is very easy to accidentally overwrite a skin given there’s no confirmation window before applying changes in the wardrobe.

Part 4 of my series of building all Guild Wars 2 mounts in blocks. Sorry it's taking so long to upload, I haven't forgotten about it. In fact, most of the series is almost done except for the last mount, but I just procrastinate a lot on taking photos. Thanks if you've reblogged my past mount builds recently though, it gave me a kick in the ass to take these photos!
