Guild Wars 2

I’m talking about the adept/master/grandmaster training manuals. For some reason, they’re available in BLTC. Ironically, Adept’s is cheaper than vendor prices, but Master/Grandmaster is more expensive by about 10-25%, ensuring nobody’ll buy them

Where do you guys even get them in the first place?

Sometimes, people buy them mistakenly from the vendor. Either you want to change traits and click your way brain-afk to a D’OH-moment. A more popular thing is though that people want to change traits and do not know the option and are under the impression you need to buy another skillbook (they resetted your points before, so it’s an easy misconception to make) just to find out horrified that they threw out 2G for an unusable item. I think it’s nice that you can sell them, mitigates the damage =)

You buy them from your Trainer. There’s a trainer for each class standing around the Mystic Forge in Lion’s Arch.

there are also trainers in all of the cities. might even be some in towns, but I’m not sure.
always check the TP while leveling your alts. I was able to get master and grandmaster manuals for 90s and 1.7s, respectively. buy prices get filled… I think Meluna is right that sometimes people buy one when they don’t need it or accidentally buy 2, etc. Just place the order when you start the alt, update the listing each day or so, and it should be filled quickly (both of mine were filled within an hour).
