I bought a weapon/armor skin but I don't see the weapon in my inventory. Why?

Skins are cosmetic overlays, not actual items. Buying a skin does not give you the weapon or item itself.

• To use a skin, you must first unlock the corresponding item's crafting blueprint at a Workbench on the server and reach the required player level.
• Once the blueprint is learned, open the Craft Menu, select the item, choose the purchased skin, and craft it.
• The skin will be applied to the crafted item.
