With the latest patch, I couldn’t help but be intrigued by one change involving the special weapon skins we often see with new events and their means of acquiring them.
“For two weeks only, Aetherblade weapon skins cost only one Black Lion Claim Ticket! After August 5, Aetherblade weapon skins will cost their regular price of 5 Black Lion Claim Tickets. All Aetherblade weapon skins are soulbound on use and can be traded until used.”
Is this going to be the new means of obtaining all future exclusive weapon skins? Just using one form of currency that we can still use, just for a steeper price, well after the events they’re attributed to have ended? I like the idea and I think it’s a much better system than the one A-Net was previously using.
If this is true, does this mean we will soon be able to obtain the Fused and Sclerite weapon sets in the same manner with Black Lion Claim Tickets in a future update? I sure hope so.
I hope so or else I have 6 scraps that will just sit there since I don’t plan on buying any more keys atm.. though 5 tickets seems really high. I am hoping when new skins are released they have an introductory 2 weeks at 1 ticket like these.
Well there’s also that small fact that they’re now all “soulbound on use” so they can be obtained on the Trading Post. It will most likely be for a hefty price, but at least we will now have that option, as well, from now on. This really sounds promising.
