What are Skins?
Skins are cosmetic upgrades for specific cards to make them look unique in your collection and in battles. Only cards that are owned display skins in battles. Currently, two sets of skins exist:

Famed and Fabled Skins are added through various promotions and time sensitive events. The first Famed and Fabled skins were Conclave Arcana Extra Cards, and able to be crafted using land resources.

Can I Preview Skins?
Yes! A preview of skins that you don’t own under card details, with a link to the non-card market for that item.
Once equipped, button(s) are revealed to show where skins may be purchased.
How can I see which Skins I own?
-
Cards View: utilize the Skins Owned filter to view the skins that you currently own - even if you do not own the associated cards.
- Non-Card Market View: utilize the Owned filter to show the items you own. Check the Listed filter in the same dropdown to view items that you have listed on the market.
How Do I Equip Skins?
Step 1: Click on the desired card in your collection.
Step 2: From the details screen, locate the dropdown menu directly below the card image to access any skins you’ve purchased.
* Note the number of owned skins in the green box above.
Step 3: Choose an available skin to activate it.
Are Skins Tradable?
Most skins can be traded using the Non-Card Market. If you are listing skins, make sure they are not equipped first. Skins earned via daily wheel spin or spark shop are not tradable.
How Can I see my Skins that are listed for sale?
Use the Skins For Sale filter to see cards where you have a skin listed on the non-card market.
Are Skins Transferable?
Yes! Transfer skins by navigating to the cards with the skin, and click the Transfer button below.
Next, carefully input the player name you wish to transfer the skin to and click Transfer. Skins sent to incorrect accounts can not be recovered.
Skins are also transferable via custom json.
There is no specific date to add a Skin market at this time. Stay tuned by following our weekly town halls!
