Guild Wars 2

I’ll spare you the long-winded explanation and simply ask: how the kitten does one combine the Adventurer’s Goggles and Adventurer’s Scarf?

Nevermind. I beat the meta. Just combine them with the two exotic crafting helm components.

I’m trying to figure out the same thing! 2/4

what were they?

I mean, for heavy armor it was the Orichalcum Helmet Casing and Orichalcum Helmet Lining. Translate those to medium and light.

It isn’t just the helmet parts and the item, says one more is missing. Do we need the new insignia recipes as well? Tried using Celestial since that’s how I roll, but can’t use it for this.

how to get Adventurer’s Goggles and Adventurer’s Scar?
edit: nvm problem solved

It’s the goggles, the scarf, and the two T6 helm crafting components.

Do you craft the mantle or do you throw the 4 items in the forge? Is there a recipe for this?

U have to discover, like any piece of gear(armorsmith/leather/tailor), u need 1 scarf+ 1 spectacle + e.g.(armorsmith)1 orichalcum helmet casing + 1 orichalcum helmet lining

Can I unlock the spectacles and scarf’s skin and still use them to craft the mantle, or not?

PartyPanda.1960:

Yes you can, I just equipped mine before I made the mantle and now have all 3 skins in my wardrobe.

PartyPanda.1960:

Yes.

Supposedly skins with lower tiered versions (appearance progression) automatically unlock the lower versions when they are unlocked.

Ex.
Unlock Eternity and it also unlocks Twilight and Sunrise as those two weapons are used to craft Eternity.
Or crafting the advanced spinal blade would automatically unlock the lesser versions of the back skin.

I didn’t want to risk their (ANet) possibly not thinking of this and accounting for and applying this behavior to the new helm, so I manually unlocked both the mask and the goggles prior to combining them for the Mantle item…just to be safe and save any kind of potential frustration. I then unlocked the combined skin by choosing “Unlock Skin” so it would be account bound. Since you can select stats for it, it is basically an account bound level 80 exotic helm. Will certainly be useful to already have one on hand for later on instead of needing to pick up a new one from the TP (which is actually a lot more expensive right now than crafting this one, and prices are likely to drop on these two helms as supply increases).

Also, I understand that there are definitions of the word “mantle” to where it is used to describe a cloak or veil of some kind to clothe or cover something (as the mask and goggles covers the face), though that usage is generally meant as ‘resting atop’ as the shoulders rest atop the torso. But in an MMORPG (as with most other areas), “Mantle” really only has a single definition in regards to an item – shoulder armor.

Quite misleading and confusing. At first I thought combining the two helms created a shoulder armor item, which was all kinds of weird, but didn’t really surprise me all that much if that was actually how it worked.

Very poor choice when deciding on a name for this item, ANet.
(Apparently there are one or two other helms in the game with “mantle” in their names. Who names these things? Are they aware of the history of the word “mantle” in RPGs and what they have always been and that GW2 is an RPG?)

this is how to create it
