Guild Wars 2

I’ve browsed around and seen some interesting armor sets and weapons that drop on certain encounters, or at least have a chance to. I’ve also see the interesting method in which the armors and outfits have been implemented in the Gem Shop—I was none too pleased learning about trans charges the hard way. I’m sure everything that’s around has been datamined, but I’m just wondering barring actually looking at that myself, are there unique weapons, armor pieces, or items that are just randomly out in the world if you happen to find the right cavern, underwater cave, or hidden cranny? Unique skins or such that aren’t found anywhere else? I love the open world of the game, just wondering how well it’s been put to use.

Heart merchants have a number of armor and weapon skins not available anywhere else. Champ bags have weapon skins only found there.

I not sure how there could be unique skins in a hidden spot somewhere that hasn’t been found by at least one person after almost 3 years so I’ll say no to that.

I don’t mean items that no one else has found, I simply mean items that can only be gotten by exploring. Unique skins/armor/weapons that can be discovered in game.

There are a few skins that can only be obtained from karma vendors (via direct purchase or recipes) and a lot of chef-crafted foods that require supplies from such vendors.

There are several unique items that only drop from certain bosses, including many of the world bosses, Orrian temple bosses, and local bosses (e.g. Rhendak).

If OP means something like exploring a cave and finding a chest that has a unique skin, then no. That would be impossible to do with an mmo imo. If in the same spot, then it can’t remain unknown. If it spawned “randomly” it would still spawn at set points. It wouldn’t take long for this to be worked out and posted on wiki so that everyone would run to its spawn point for their daily chest opening.
