Guild Wars 2

So, just to make sure I understand this correctly:

Earn Watchwork Sprockets, a new trophy from the Watchknights, to purchase rewards from the emissaries. Purchasable rewards include:
• New Sovereign weapon sets
• New crafting recipes for runes and sigils
• Cultural weapon sets

If I’m a human, I can trade for the asura or charr cultural weapons with the right amount of sprockets? (And possibly the “champion of insert cultural city here” thing going? I can’t check as I am at work.)

Youre not at work, youre on the forums.

Sure, but it’s not worth it. It costs 200 sprockets plus 7-10 gold depending on the item, and these same skins can be gotten for karma in each racial city – and since you seem to be under the impression that the weapons are race-specific, they aren’t. Any “cultural” weapons can be used by any race. Only armors are race-bound.

I was under that impression. Thanks for the clarification.

Yeah, seeing those weapons there gave me a serious case of WTF.

Been using the charr T3 weapons as basis for weapon skins for a while now.

wow that’s stupid. I can see having the Cultural Armor sets being unlockable for all the races, that would be something worth working towards..

the weapons? that’s just adding a new, more costly way to buy them.
