These are suprisingly cool

That scepter, and axe and sword look sick.

DISCUSS

They look ok, nothing spectacular but quite nice.

The staff, longbow and shield are the ones that looked the best imo.

Pistol looks pretty good

Other than that, meh

They look like decent skins. As with the ley line ones, I’ll preview them later and determine if there are any that I really want. I do like the ax, but the giant butterfly gives me pause.

Those are fantastic! I must have that axe and warhorn! If only the fossil in the warhorn was of a locust for perfect synergy with Locust Swarm…but cricket is close enough.

I love the ax, my warrior may need it.

Meh, I’m not super enthused about them. Not sure I like weapons that look like bugs are stuck on your back (shield).

Hahaha I second that! I play sylvari necro so I kinda want a set and then I can dye my cultural armor black/amber/white colors. I have howler too so that goes kinda decent with the axe and scepter.

I may need to get a total makeover kit so I can get an amber glow!

Anyone know how much ambrite each recipe requires? Might as well stock up now while there’s a lot coming in

I like them. Combined with the Ley Line weapons, they are adding a serious amounts of weapons to the game.

Dagger looks the best. As always the hammer looks the worst.

Not a big fan of these, but the Ley Lines one look sweet.

Digging the style of this new set. Even better is that they’re prettier than the new gem store set (IMO).

I really love these. Especially the axe! They did a good job.

Kind of like Axe and Pistol, but otherwise eh not really a fan of theme nor a lot of the shapes

Good job, and the axe proves ANET has a great sense of humor.

I really love their elegant look. Insect lovers and entomologists everywhere thank ANET for this!

I like them very much. I will try to get the rifle for my engineer. But it is not at all easy. I am having no luck finding the chests.

If you hotkey show enemy names and hold it down, you can find chests much easier.

They’re not to my tastes, but I like the detail on them, and the fact that they’re a new craftable skin set.

Wow, the goliath beetle in the shield is almost as big as they are in real life.

I’m not sure what sort of theme to pair these with, but I love that they’re craftable.

I love the weapon skins. I’ve always liked amber and amber-fossil insects, so this is really right up my alley. I’ll even be able to make them fit on no less than 3 of my characters as far as their weapon themes go (Guardian has a crystal theme, Ranger has a nature vs tech theme, Engineer has an animal theme).

I also love the fact that its a new craftable set, and a new in-game weapon skin set in general. We really need more of those to offset the abundance of gem store skins.

I don’t love the price, though. Between these and the Leyline skins, I’m going to be getting really poor really quick. Well, poorer. I’m already sitting at only 20g as it is considering I just got a new character to 80 and geared him up, so I’ll already need to be selling some of my very limited stash of items to buy some of these.

Not that I really need to hurry and get these ASAP though. That’s perhaps the greatest thing about them, I can throw it in my long-term goal pile and work towards them without worry of the price suddenly skyrocketing (which is what happens sometimes if you wait on gem store skins).

They remind me of Ahn’Quraji

I think the actual models are terrible.
But the design idea is a really good one.
#hatebulky

Bugs. Ew.
#Nope

I love the design of the mace….but kittenroach. Nope nope nope nope and a whole nother bag of nopes.

Yeah, I think the shield is the worse one in my opinion… but the axe, staff, and scepter I MUST have. Time to permanently relocate to dry top.

I like…none of them. I checked them all out and I can honestly say that none of them appeal to me whatsoever. I appreciate that Anet is coming up with new weapon designs and what not, but whatever happened to sleek and elegant? There are a lot of clunky weapons already available and the newer ones are getting clunkier and clunkier.

About the flashiest weapon skins I use are the Fractal sword/axe/longbow, Bolt, Mistforged Hero sword and Cobalt. Otherwise I prefer simplicity over excessive showiness

I like subtle effects.

I don’t like the ascended skins, or most of the legendaries.

But I do like the bug-bows, and maybe the daggers. They are subtle, without weird glow effects or silly unicorn arrows. The amber color is lovely.

So, back to finding a $@!! fossilized bug in a chest.

I noted this in the Entanglement forum — it’s not just the insect. You will also need the inscription to drop from a chest for you. I can’t make my shortbow until I have both an insect to turn into a mosquito (at least that part is a choice we make, rather than getting a random useless bug) AND an account bound Nomad’s Imbued Orichalcum Inscription, made from an account bound recipe dropped randomly in a Dry Top chest.

I can’t wait to be able to “DISCOVER” future recipes, not get them from some chest that some unlucky adventurer before me lost in the wilderness or attempting to bribe Zomoros to give me his blessings.

And these are just reskins of the Maguuma default weapon drops, it’s too bad the NEW skins (ley line) are tied to the unreasonable bl chest rng system that I have to exploit, er sorry, enjoy a couple hundred times just to get enough scraps that I can get 1 single weapon with.
I like the ley line skins but I’ll never get enough scraps together to get one before Anet decides to take them off the limited selection at the weaponsmith cause they didn’t design the interface right for the future. Tabs? really? How about a carousel next time huh? Those are infinitely expandable.

Anyway. Got my bug, probably never going to get the recipe I don’t want so I can ‘craft’ my bug weapon cause I got tons of gold to spend on the TP but my chest luck is really poor – thanks Magic Find for not working on pretty much anything…

My bad, it has been pointed out to me that one purchases the inscriptions from the Zephyrite vendor for 50 geodes. Phew. If you have the insect, you’re good.

Ditto for Celestial weapons. Seriously, it’s like they abandoned their precious “discovery” system right after launch. I didn’t even like it in the first place.

My female warrior loves her butterflies
