Guild Wars 2

As the title says, we need a vendor that sells the weapon designs to make King Toad/Storm Wizard skins. I finished the tribulation modes back when SAB was available and made a bunch of King Toad Weapons, but since I wasn’t sure which of the yellow weapons I’d use, I held on to my Storm Wizard coins to make one when I decide which one I want (when the SAB and the vendor would come back again…).

2 years later, SAB hasn’t returned and neither has the merchant, and I’m stuck with my 3 Storm Wizard coins, wanting to make the staff, but I only miss the 2 gold vendor design and I can’t buy it.

Since we do have festival vendors still selling rewards if you held on to your festival tokens/etc, it’s not unreasonable to add one for the Moto weapon designs – you still need the SAB coins, which are currently unobtainable, to make those weapons (so you still had to be there when SAB was up to get them). Especially since we don’t know when or if SAB returns.

Please, thank you.

Meanwhile I can be a special snowflake with a golden pistol no one else has.

Yes please! I’d love to be able to craft my Storm Wizard weapons as I too saved my coins deciding what weapon I wanted to craft.

Not sure you understood, this wouldn’t make the weapons any less special. The key part of making them was still the coins – I played SAB 2 years ago and finished the tribulation mode to get them. The only thing I didn’t do was to throw them in the mystic forge back then. Now I can’t buy a silly vendor item worth 2 gold. You can’t do anything with the design if you don’t have the coins anyway.

Already have your golden pistol. Waiting to make a golden shield now as I have the mats, but not the thing from the vendor.

Okay, say they do this. What about ppl who don’t have the coins to buy these designs? Yes the festival vendor is still around but the items they sell are also available from the laurel vendors. So for this to work, I think for this to work we’d need to have an alternative method of obtaining weapon designs besides the coins, most likely laurels.

It has been suggested countless times, even years ago after it was first removed.

So it is quite likely that the vendor won’t be returning until SAB itself is reinstated as a whole, which will be some time after the release of Heart of Thorns.

If you don’t have the coins then you don’t get the weapons, simple. They are rare skins for people who did certain content. The purpose of the vendor is not to make the weapons available for new people, it’s to simply allow people who OWN the coins to MAKE USE of them. I just find it silly that even though I have the coins, I can’t craft the weapon.

Edit: It’s also about the designs which were part of recipe to craft green/yellow weapons and not really the bauble skins, I remember them saying the latter would be available to buy only during certain time (so the first batch of blue skins didn’t return with the second appearance of SAB). The thing about green/yellow ones is that the coins (which you get only for completing 3 tribulation levels) were the main part of getting the skin and if back then i’d buy 1 of each design, today i’d be able to craft the weapon I want…

Edit2: Also worth noting, the first time SAB was gone, it was gone for a few months and not 2 years, so it was easy to assume that even if you hadn’t decided on your Storm Wizard weapon, you could craft it when SAB comes back again. But since this isn’t the case anymore, they could AT LEAST allow people to make the skins that THEY HAVE THE MATS FOR.
