I don’t think anyone has made a thread to follow all the sales for the anniversary sale, so I guess I’ll compile one and update it daily when I can. I’ll update so that the newest sales are at the top, as well as add video links when possible.
If I’m not able to, please post the sales in order to keep everyone updated.
NOTES: Thank you all for constantly updating/ answering each others questions. That’s a wrap. See you guys again next year!

I’m just wondering…is the Account Jump Start Package a limited time offer thing? Or is it permanent on the Gem store?
My guess is that it’s like the Black Lion Introductory Package where it’s a one time price when you buy it, then afterwards if you wanna buy more it’ll be at the regular price (as a permanent store bundle).
I thought you could only buy packages like the BL Introductory once per account. Thus, the price never changes. I suspect the Account Bump/Jump will be the same.
Sylvari used to call asuras “imps” when they first met them outside the Grove. Now they can be one. Them little devils are so cute even when they are trying to look mean.
I wonder if those nice datamined dragonfly wings may show up.
I’m really looking forward to those wings for one of my characters. Hopefully it will not be much longer of a wait.
Nice character.
The only thing I’ve bought from the gemstore in the past were transmutation crystals, and gems to convert to gold. Those dragonfly wings may be the first gemstore skin I’m interested in buying.
Judging by what they have already done, I’m guessing they aren’t going to discount account based stuff(bag, bank, character slots, etc)? Outside of bundling ofc.
Was hoping to pick up 2 character slots, but it isn’t looking like they are going to go on sale.
Sadly that looks to be the case, judging by how little’s actually been discounted so far.
A real pity, I had a bunch of stuff I was really excited to see on sale, I’ll be a fair bit less excited to see all of it at full price, as that means I’ll be able to get far less of what I wanted.

This was in the gem store like a month ago. This has got to be the most pathetic sale ever.
I don’t remember it being for sale last month or being mentioned on the forum as being for sale and wiki says it was for one day only in March. Possibly you’re confusing it with the white wings which was in the gemstore fairly recently.
I consider all sales and offers as something good, because ArenaNet tries to make money from those microtransactions, while keeping the buyers happy.
I am always curious to see what is next. Personally I am waiting for great things such as Bunny Ears, Royal Terrace Pass or items/weapons/outfits with awesome special effects.
Black Feather Wings are today’s additional offering, 500 gems, 4 days only (all the first 10 day ones are now 4 days only as the clock ticks down). I don’t think there’s anything else new for the day. It gets harder to tell as the number of items increases.
Guys, can we please keep this thread to listing the items added, perhaps with minor exclamations about said items? There’s a merged thread for discussing the merits of the overall sale and I’d be sad if this thread got merged in there so we could no longer find the OP’s excellent listing.

Thank you very much. I like her a lot and I have other characters that are slight variations on the overall design or simply in alternate colors.
Looking forward to what today’s item(s) will be.
Curunen, if you are interested, you can quickly gain 3 transmutation charges in about 7-10 minutes doing map clearing on three of the small and quick cities with a new character. Just an alternative way of gaining them if you were unable to purchase more and in a pinch, but wanted to change a character’s look.

Oh no I meant in the past when we used to use transmutation crystals and no wardrobe, and it was to transmute Order armour across characters – that’s when I bought some.
I get more than enough charges now from pvp reward tracks and have a lot already.

Any slots we got from buying HOT in the presale have long since been used.
That’s so true. /sigh.
I was just playing the game, minding my own business, and suddenly the character slots filled up and before I knew it, they had started leveling. One got to level 80 and got itself fully geared up. The other parked itself at a jumping puzzle and is bribing me with silver doubloons. :/
Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.
I not used one of my freeish slots, hehe, but if there was a slot discount, i may have to buy one.
Also agg, I really want account bump now, but I just worry about future items and who knows how long the new discount will last

Haha, yeah, both of mine are doing the same, but also reserving a couple names I want to use either when revs drop or name change scrolls go on sale.
(I’m a very patient person, and on a tight budget, so I can’t bring myself to buy pretty much any upgrades like that at full price when I know eventually they’ll go on sale again)
I get the impression though this isn’t that kind of sale.

If i buy Account jumpstart, the bag tab you get for a character, should i make sure the character I want for them, is the one who buy them?
No, it does not matter. You receive an account-bound item (2 in a stack) that unlocks bag slots for the character that ‘uses’ the item. I’ve thrown mine into the bank to hang on to until I am sure I want to use one or two on a character.
The bag slot expansion item itself is account bound, I bought 2 for a character but then decided I wasn’t sure so I’ve had them in my bank for like 2 years, they still say account bound.
Once you use it, it’s for that character only and cannot be transferred or recovered if you decide to delete/reroll a character, so make sure it’s one you really want to keep or that you don’t mind the loss before you use it.

I currently have 2-3 main I sorta use for different things, and SO i was not to sure, but with the price slightly cheaper now, I figure I should buy it before I lose my chance.
Chickenado was there already. I was just checking for new things and didn’t see the Unicorn. I hope they clear it up if it’s glitching for people that would like to buy the Unicorn (I already have that finisher, so I shall just go watch the Twitch stream and check again later).
Thanks for this thread, I’m away until Monday so it’s good to know what I’m missing. Both so I don’t convince myself they’re giving away bank tabs while I can’t log in and so I van decide what I do want when I get home.
