If you’d like to have one of these weapons in the future, but don’t think you’ll have the time or money to do it during the event, just collect the candy corn and rare components you want and save them till you can afford to make the recipe. Or find someone who has the recipe that can make it for you later once you have the mats.

The actual recipe (not the recipe for the recipe) for the weapons uses components found all year round. For example, The Crossing uses the Gift of Souls. The recipe for the Gift of Souls is:

Gift of Knowledge (500 CoE tokens)
250 Orichalcum Ingots
20 Globs of Ectoplasm
100 Crystal Lodestones

Then the Gift of Souls + Ancient Shod Staff(s) + Ancient Ancient Staff Head(s) + (Insert Preferred Inscription) and you have your The Crossing.

So you can still get The Crossing (or any other weapon) in the future if you want.

That should have been somewhat obvious really. You just need to find someone who will craft it (but then it comes down to if you can trust that person and so forth but ignoring that) the craftable halloween weapons will always be around and someone will always be crafting them to sell.

It’s a different case for the BLTC ones though, who knows if they’ll pop around next year.

I usually trust everyone in an MMO with crafting things (besides EvE which allows scamming lol). Mainly because scamming is illegal in most MMO’s, including this one. Someone scams you, report them, simple as that.

But yeah…get the mats and you can get the skin any time lol.

Actually… ANET’s took a stance where they don’t get involved in ANY personal transaction between players. Someone scams you, you’re out of luck. There’ve been quite a few threads where people have lost mats trying to get Legendaries crafted and ANET has basically told them, “Well, that’s your fault for not using the Trading Post.”

Anyway, best bet? Get a guildie to do it. Or, you know, do it yourself. I plan on getting my crafts up eventually anyway.
