Guild Wars 2

It’s apparently one of the new items in the Black Lion Trading Post.

Anyone know what this may be/can any developer clarify this for us?

It specifically says attributes, not traits. In alpha development (possibly closed beta?) you were able to set your own attributes instead of the current system where they are a set 916 at lv 80 with your traits adding to them. In the old system, this item would make perfect sense.

However, in the current system I don’t see how it could work.

I’m hoping that this item has been re-purposed to be a consumable trait reset. The cost for the item is 5s, which is only a little bit more then the respec cost at your trainer. This would be very helpful in middle of dungeon runs if no amount of Major Trait selections and weapon set changes improved your effectiveness to the team.
