Guild Wars 2

Hi everyone,

there was an interresting Dsicussion about how dye prices will react to the feature pack, that soon will be released. Unfortunately this thread has been closed.. I dont know why.

Now anyways i like to learn to understand the tp better to make better speculation. And since im not the TP pro yet i tell you what i think will happen, and im interrested in anyones oppinion who wants to share it here.

I dont want to lose much speculation on dyes and unidentified dyes, i personally sold all now because i dont want to take the risk of losing money.

But here are my bets:

-I think usefull Items with ugly Skins will be more demanded after the Patch, because more people will transmute the “most usefull” item with the “most beatiful” skin.

-Im not sure how Skins will react but i vaguely think they might first raise in price because everyone will buy his desired skin for his account. But only one skin per account. Once the market is satturated the skins will have to get cheaper to get sold to those who were not willing to pay much gold just for cosmetics. I cant tell how the price of finite Skins, such as “Super Weapon” Skins will react…

-There might be a small shift in the Zerker Meta. A few people who used Berserker Gear but who were not totaly convinced of it now might want to shift to something more tanky, more conditiony, more utility. Thats why Items providing anything but zerker might raise in price. Its up to you to guess which one will rise the most…

- I cant tell exactly why but i think “might” will be even more “meta”, more desired, than it is already.

Happy speculating,
cheers,
Liquith.

Skins in general will rise and i wouldnt be surprised, if we see some more of them reach precursor levels. Personally i stocked up on the “cheaper” skins that are still available.
A stack each of the wintersday skins and a couple each of the Southsun skins except the aquabreather because its an underwater skin.

On the contrary, there will be a shift towards the zerker meta. People who used other sets to pull crit damage out of them will now have to switch to berserker’s, and it hits people who used celestial and traveler’s/divinity runes especially.

Skins will go up in price for two reasons

1. People will be rushing to fill out their wardrobes
2. People will be salvaging exotics instead of posting on the TP because they will get the skin for free and also a chance at ecto and sigil/rune. This means fewer of those exotics will be on the TP, driving up prices.

What? every exotic have a chance to drop a skin for example super skin or what?

He means to say that by salvaging the exotic that skin will be added to the wardrobe.

Um I’m pretty sure you just need to soul/account bind the item. People may salvage it after that but I don’t think salvaging is required.

To unlock a skin for the Wardrobe, you need to either:

a) Equip the item on a character so it becomes soulbound/account bound.

b) Salvage the item.

c) Destroy the item.

If people are just after unlocking skins for the items, then it makes the most sense to salvage the item for possible Ectos, Dark Matter, Inscriptions/Insignia, Runes/Sigils since the item itself can’t be resold any further regardless of how the skin is unlocked.
