Guild Wars 2

I was just wondering if at any point we will be able to change the Order we chose in the story. I recently went to look at the armor offered by my order (Whispers) and that the stats were less than choice for my play style. If we can’t change orders, will there ever be more choice in the armor we can buy for different stats?

I have been wondering the exact same thing. I just want a weapon for an order I didn’t choose. I remember that they said that we would be able to do it “with a little effort”, but can’t find out how.

There are transmutation stones that allow you to apply the appearance of one item to the stats of another. Im not sure how to get end game ones yet though I have heard you can make them in the mystic forge somehow.

However I dont think there will be any way to change orders since it plays a pretty major role in the personal story.

^ Exactly what Lutinz said.

They’ve said before that it would be possible.

And how can we submit a request to the developers for the Orders change feature?

This is from 2 years ago and has probably (definitely) changed since then.

Regardless, it’d be nice if you could at least buy the armor/weapons from other Orders once you’ve gotten to a certain point/beaten the personal story. Really regretting I chose Vigil over Priory.

At the very least adding the armor/weapon skins to the gem store or something would be amazing.

It may sound crazy, but this is my #1 request for my Guild Wars 2 wishlist.

There is a way to get the order skins for a guy not in the order I think if the transmutation stones don’t soulbind the gear.

Basically, you get a non-soulbound item that has the stats you want. (crafted probably)
Transmute that to look like the order item.
Then you put it in bank and ship it to whomever is going to use that.

Though I kinda have to say that once you’ve completed the entire story quest, it would be nice to get access to the gear.
After all, you kinda are an authority figure to all of the orders, so it shouldn’t be too much to ask to get the standard issue gear from them.

I’d actually go for the ability to pick a different order entirely. I was hoping the Vigil would be more Ember and less Gullik. Big mistake.

Does transmuting work like that? I was thinking that if an item is soulbound, the transmuted version of that item would also be soulbound to the same character.

Yes, it stays soulbound.

So, basically… there is no way for me to currently get a weapon from another order or do we just not know about it yet? If not, is that intentional or just something not added in yet?

I want Vigil armour but I’m Whispers ;(
