Is the new armor only available through the gem store?
if so, why? i havent got the money to spend on the gem store right now and i would much rather earn the armor through gathering mats and doing something something rather than buying it

Only through gem store, as far as we know.

You don’t have to spend cash, you can exchange gold for gems then buy the Armor so its the same as earning them in game, cost would be similar to tier 3 Cultural armor or close to it depending on current exchange rate.

Have you seen the price for the new armor skins? TP has been down so I haven’t, but I’d assume it’s between 500-800 gems per set based on past pricing on similar items. If it is 800 gems per set, then it would be about 25 gold for one set. T3 cultural sets cost 119 gold per set. They would have to sell these sets for almost 4000 gems to make the two comparable.

OP: It will cost you between 15-25 gold for one set of the Aetherblade armor skins, assuming they are priced comparably to other armor skin sets.

At least it’s not rng boxes. If you want to farm mats go ahead, then convert it to gems.

i need one for PvP and one for PvE… they better not be overly expensive or tucked inside RNG boxes… can’t we go back to when we earned the cool skins by playing the content? :/

I’m just wondering, who has bought the med armor set? I would like to know if you can split the set between characters. Ex, I like the hear gear on one character, but the chest and gloves on another.
Or is it that once you open the set on a character, all pieces are soul bound instead of account bound.
I’m very interesting in finding out so I can have a goal of how much to farm.

Want an art commission of your character? PM me to find out how! In-game gold art commissions!

I would love there to be more armor and weapon skins put directly in the game, alongside the current armors we can find/earn in game.

I think these armor skins are more like the costumes we could buy in GW1. I really wish that they would use that system again though, the thought of paying $10 for a single-use armor re-skin is…painful when compared to a $10 skin in GW1 that could be used by any character at any time, at the same time.

The new armor sets are account bound. So you can easily transfer skins to other characters if you wish.

Yes… I can like some things about the Aetherblade light and medium armor, but come on, seriously, that heavy armor??

I know you’re going for steampunk but this just feels so wrong. Just the heavy helm and it’s “goggles” seem awfully displaced.

When I think of heavy armor, I think of this in a game, when will you add more proper heavy armor, Anet?

Am I the only one who thinks the new three armour skins look awful?

The medium one isn’t too bad but the other two look more like clown outfits.

i didn’t really check, but i think the skins are account bound until applied. don’t quote me on it though.

i just converted everything to PvP skins.

they don’t look good together, but their individual pieces are awesome.

i feel bad for female characters though, they got crappy skins that look nothing like their male counterpart.

Sadly female characters are battle strippers, unless you prefer to play the loli.

The heavy set is the only one that I find unattractive, and only because of the huge & randomly placed shoulder gear/cog thingy.

I want their rapier and cannon (lol).

For armor: heavy coat and legging is badly designed (is it leather or what ?). (good for male character (clockwork soldier >.<), bad for female character)
Medium: is good
Light: I am a machinist….. (good for female character, a bit err for male character)

Maybe y’all just aren’t into steampunk? I really like all the skins. It’s kinda weird to me that some of the helms have the goggles covering the eyes and some don’t, but the skins look great to me still.

JUST flagging this one in particular, because i’m really pretty heartily sick of the armor choices in this game. and the town clothes choices.

while you guys are playing around with all the “trendy” things, like steampunk, and booty (cargo) shorts, and stupid hoodies, why don’t you ALSO offer us some … um, period clothing? you know, like we’ve been asking for for … ever?

love the images, btw. some nice sets there.

sweet. thanks

note for application:

once you have applied ANY skin to ANY piece of armor, if it’s green or above, it will become soulbound. if you decide, later, you wish to use it as a skin for another character, or the character you originally purchased it for has new armor, here is how to make it account-bound again:

(best results, have a lvl 2 or so character to purchase armor pieces with)
purchase a piece of white or blue armor (i.e., non-soulbound armor)
transmute the skin you wish to make account-bound on to the newly purchased armor

that armor is now a skin again, and can be used for any character, barring faction or race restrictions.

for instance, i put my warrior in a full set of vigil gear at level 28 by buying the gear on another vigil character and skinning it. because both were vigil, both could wear it; a priory character could not.

i’ve put T1 and T2 mixes of racial armor on all my characters around lvl 2 — but those pieces can NOT be used on other races.

you can make your character look how you want it, within reason, starting at lower levels — just requires ’mute stones of the appropriate type, and white or blue armor!

Slight addendum, you don’t need to buy on a level 2, you just need to get the white armor from the TP. There’s lots of level 2 stuff there!

yeah, but if you’re like me, you ’mute it to put on a low-level character, right? so, i buy the armor on my level 80, then ’mute it and put it in the bank, then switch to said low-level character, and have to blow MORE ’mute stones to get it down to a wearable level!

and if i go the route of getting it from the tp? zomg, i HATE paying tp prices when it’s so CHEAP to just buy it on a lower level character! easiest? the character you wanna put it on? just have that character grab the white gear.

thanks for making that point, @donari!
