Guild Wars 2

Four settlements (Point Pride, Kiel’s Outpost, Steampipe Steading, and Camp Karka) are integral parts of trade on the island. If all four camps are held by the players, a special merchant will appear on Pearl Islet to exchange armor for karka shells

It doesn’t say it’s a special type of armor, but I really hope it’s something looking cool and not just white armor (or yellow with different stats)

Does anyone know, if there’s any information about it?
I don’t need to see pictures, I just want to know if it has a special look.
If not I’d like to sell all my karka shells I saved because they’re on the rise

I’m guessing that, lke Ascended gear, they’ll keep it lazy and just re-use Orrian temple karma armour skins with Settler’s stats (Toughness, Condition Damage, Healing Power).

There’s a reason they made the first Ascended gear trinkets you know; It meant that the art assets they needed to create were minimal, as trinkets aren’t visible on player characters.

It’s disgusting that these cost-cutting and time-saving measures are so blatantly obvious.

I’ve seen some of it in map chat. It’s basically a new “Named”-style set with different stats – so it has the same appearance as the existing exotic armours you can get as loot.

Assuming it’s Settler’s armor, they use the same skin as rare armor.

I’d like it to be a new “Named”-style set so I can buy the cool look for my alts and transmute good stats on it

Or perhaps it was because they didn’t want to release full armor sets replacing Exotic within the first two months of the game but rather slowly the off-set pieces… but you right, or a bit of both.

I got one Island Skin iten on a crate a couple times, I guess it would be something like that.
