Guild Wars 2

After playing Ascalonian Catacombs multiple times through, and obtaining the Ghastly Sword, a thought stuck me.

After looking at all of the weapons, the majority are dilapidated and rusted for effect, some more so than others.

But, what if there were a consumable item, called a Whetstone perhaps, that one could use to polish and sharpen one’s old and rusted weaponry, restoring it to it’s former glory?

Because there’s no other place that old Ascalonian weapons and armor can be obtained, and they have a unique look to them, plus the lore and throwback to better days for Humanity, where weapons were as ornate as the Greatsword reward for example.

This ‘Whetstone’ would go for a much larger amount of dungeon tokens, and could potentially be added to other dungeon vendors for their weapons. I mean, who wouldn’t want to see a curved Orrian blade that wasn’t dripping and covered in barnacles?
Different Whetstones obtained by different means could be used for their individual weapon sets, to make it fair.

Anyway, just a small thought that would be a nice little aesthetic treat for those that enjoy cleaner, practical weapons

EDIT:

After seeing the views go up but the replies not, please, if you support this idea show it, if not, leave a little criticism or something – feedback is necessary and appreciated!

Sounds like a neat idea and it sure would add atmosphere, plus being able to chose more ‘historic’ weapon skins would be a nice addition.

Thanks! It really would make a lot more variety for weapons, and more personalisation without as much effort and time as some other things. It’s the little things that don’t take much time that really make a nice difference, it’s a shame they’re often overlooked.

Hoping for a little more interest in this, seeing views but no replies. I don’t see it being that difficult to implement ;_;

No idea if bumps are allowed or not, but heyho. Revival!
