For some reason the Sylvari sell Asura Cultural Weapons. It’s been this way since launch. My guess is they only made 2 cultural sets for sylvari and asura (instead of 3) and quickly filled it with a cultural set from eachother.

A lazy “fix”.

It’s because the Asura and Sylvari are both located in Maguuma. The cultural weapons are based on drops. Glyphic weapons come as fines and masterworks, and are fairly common, while Verdant weapons are rare. It wouldn’t really work if sometimes you found fine or masterwork plant weapons, or rare magitech weapons.

That still doesn’t explain why asura have sylvari cultural weapons (and vice versa) while those weapons are not part of the culture. If they sell sylvari weapons, fine, but those weapons are not part of their culture.

Culture weapons aren’t weapons of a nearby race you just pick up and decide to sell, culture weapons are weapons that reflect the culture of the race that sells it. This obviously isn’t the case here.

The far more likely cause is that anet never got around to making a third set of cultural weapons for sylvari and asura and did this instead.
