Guild Wars 2

Just wondering whether the item being level 10 was intended

Seems so. I think it’s more for the unique skin than the stats.

Seems so. I kept my Halloween one and banked the Toymaker’s bag. It’s nice, but the flaming book looks cooler.

Yes, I noticed this as well. I have two level 80 characters and neither can use this silly thing as what I currently have has better stats than this bag.

I think it totally illogical to have a level 10 bag drop as a reward for a level 80 character. The one I got from the Halloween event actually is quite useful on my Ranger and I still use it.

Not happy with this one though.

You are intended to use it as a skin, not for its godly stats same as the halloween one. If it doesn’t suit you, oh well, remember it is a freebie.

Thanks appreciate the info. Had not thought about it that way but that actually will work. If I only liked how it looked.

I’ll take another look…perhaps it will appeal to me at a later date.

Pretty minimal for account wide gifts, would be nice if each of my characters could at least get the 15 slot box.

I would have liked for this bag to be upgraded, but meh that’s fine. The bag wasn’t even the focal point of the event, the toys were. So I’m cool with the crappy stats.

I also would have preferred the 15 slot bag as well. This for a back piece is not something I find attractive.

I like the bag actually, disregard the name, it suits my Asura really well(role-play wise); and it’s even better with toy golem mini. I’m really happy that I get to have these things for this Wintersday.

Ok, I’m a bit confused here. The Toymaker’s Bag doesn’t show up when I tried it on my character. I figure the item is used mainly for the skin but if it doesn’t show up on the character what’s the point of it? I have the Hide/UnHide checked but nothing.

Edit: I see it now. It doesn’t show up in the character equipment screen.

Toymaker bag is strictly for the skin. The stats are bad but you can always transmute its appearance onto a good backpiece.

That’s what I did with the Mad King Chronicles because MKC wouldnt let me equip anything but a basic lvl 1 gem on it. With transmutation though I was able to put ‘seal of the ____’ and exquisite gems on it. Toymaker bag will look good on an alt, I think.

As long as the new backs dont double as a light source like the halloween one does i will keep using that one, looks good AND helps me on dark places/JP’s

I still can’t see mine no matter what I do to get it work.. maybe they’ll be a fix later like they did with the magically disappearing devil horns

Totally intended, so you can buy fine transmutation stones to have the 80’s stats.

If it was only for the skin it could have been a skin like the weapons.

p.s. yes, I know this is also for low levels players but having an actual skin would make much more sense to me.

Can anyone link a picture of what it looks like? I don’t want to transmute it if it’s ugly as all hell

You can equip it and see yourself without any problem.

I can’t see it.. I tried (about 2 hours ago) on all 5 of my characters

Did you tick the little box within the Hero UI to actually display back pieces? Shows up just fine on mine. It’s a little sack filled with gifts. Perfect if you may have some sort of a desire to RP as Santa, heh.

What I would like to know, is why we can’t get more of them? For those of use with alts that we constantly play with, it sucks. At least with the Halloween one, we could get it for all our characters, we just had to put a bit of work in to get it for each.
