Guild Wars 2

So, the 3 skins that you can rent have a permanent craftable exotic counterpart.

Great stuff.

The issue that you might have heard about is the MASSIVE cost of those items, because to craft them you’ll have to:
-discover the gift recipe. Aka: craft the item that will let you learn the recipe for the gift that will be used to craft the final item.
(It needs crystals + wine (skillpoints) and 250 corn + fang/core/skull depending on gift/weapon. This means that you’ll be able to get this recipe only during hallowee event, or only as long as you’ll be able to get corn + fang/skull/cores from TP.)
-craft the gift (which atm seems the costly thing, 250 oric ingots + 20 ecto + 100 lodestones + a gift from DG).
-use it to craft the (hopefully…) final weapon with atm undiscovered recipe (hopefully – again – nothing more expensive/complicated due to gift being already a big hit to your wallet).

Apart all this little summary, the question i have for you Anet is: are the recipes (for gifts via craft, for items via MForge) avaible after event?
I mean, if i get all the event items i need – corn + fangs etc – will i be able to craft gift/weapon at any given time (aka: when i’ll have enough ecto/lodestones/oric to dump in the gift) or are we supposed to get all the mats durign this week, then all recipes will be deleted/disabled?

I would assume that the recipes are added to the game and will always be there. The only thing you would need to do during this event is make sure to stalk up on the items that are only available during Halloween. I think ANET had a smart enough state of mind that making these rare skins only available for a week to get all the crafting mats would be dumb. That’s my hope and thoughts

Have the items to discover the recipes all been revealed yet? I want to know what I need to stock up on. Shame there is no long bow skin though.
