Guild Wars 2

Okay so I’m sure we’ve all taken a look at the vendor that is taking tokens for current and past living story content rewards. I really like this idea that this was done. Let’s other people get in on things they missed.

Anyway, my question regarding the nine skins are, if I buy one, does it unlock the same skin across all three weight classes or just one? Someone told me it unlocks heavy, medium, and light no matter which one I buy.

I just need some clarification.

Sun helm’s kinda tempting but the maintenance stations… hnng.

Buy one of each type ( wind, sun, lightning) and it unlocks all the armour types for that aspect.

Oh good. I only have 1600 tokens, I don’t think I’m willing to grind away another 800 (already did a grind for 1600 after getting the meta) so I’ll buy the two I like.

I was in the same boat until one night before bed I just tried it. A pleasant surprise that ended up keeping me up later!

Now I have to decide if I want the crafting station recipes or two helm skins…uuuuugh such decision to make. I’m kicking myself in the teeth that I did not stop at the other maps to buy the recipe— wait I think I bought two of the three.

I can’t help you there. I don’t have much interest in the recipes. Maybe wiki them before making a decision.

Oh, seriously? I thought I needed all 9 to unlock all the weights. That’s a huge relief!

The station recipes are SO expensive to make. Make sure you check out the mats before you decide to buy them.

if they were still 5 gold a piece I’d swipe them up just for the sake of collecting temporary availability recipes. But the mats… yeah I bought the helms.

And suddenly I find myself starting to grind for another 800 tokens for the wind helm now.

Also yes I can now confirm as well: buying one unlocks all three weight classes.

Huh, really? Maybe I should consider picking them up then…

Yeah this really surprised me aswell, that when I bought one they got unlocked on both light, medium and heavy.

Knowing that they unlock for all weights, I need to get them now. 800 tokens for the skin of all weights seems much more fair than 2400 :o

My advise to everybody is buy the weight you are likely to use the most, that way you can at least save a transmutation charge.

Skins. There’s no point having the recipes, considering the stations are completely impractical to make and their cost is (un)surprisingly ridiculous.

Unless you’re like me and you like having your crafters know ALL the recipes. (Learned all three, but no way am I actually crafting the items at current prices.)

The crafting recipes are beyond worthless. You will never craft those items.

The only way I will get the crafting recipes is if I get absolutely everything else and have tokens left over to spend and nothing to spend them on.

I was so happy when they added the Wardrobe and my Medium Zeph helms counted for both Heavy and Light cuz I wanted Sun one for my Guardian so bad. So yeah, it’s nice they count for all 3. Going to get the Lightning one for collection this time around.

Someone mentioned the stations being a waste because the ingredients are way too expensive.
