Guild Wars 2

The leather set is crafted. You can make all the pieces for that set through crafting.

@RoseofGilead.8907

Try again and check the market then (shoulders).
How else would you explain 29 silvers for Giver’s shoulders (masterwork)?
Please check the image in the wiki so we make sure you are not misunderstanding which armor set I meant, there are many named “leather” but they’r all different.

The set you linked to is the set I made with leatherworking. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/List_of_armor_sets#Crafted_armor_sets

@RoseofGilead.8907

If you managed to craft those shoulders yourself why don’t you share a screenshot?
I find no other reason for it missing in the market, perhaps it is soulbound?

Also I just noticed only 1 out of 3 of the images provided in the link I posted shows the right leather shoulder skin (others were wrong) so let’s refer to this http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/File:Norn_Female_Leather_Armor_Medium2.png

It’s called “leather” on the wiki page for crafting (listed as “outlaw” on a second crafting page, though), and it’s called “outlaw” in-game when crafting. Exact same armor, though.

@RoseofGilead.8907

I see then thanks for sharing, it seems it was an errata, (Outlaw is a different set/skin, this item should be named just “Leather”) I’ll update my first post.

Wish some others shared more about other classes though =/

Yeah. I have noticed what you mean about other pieces from sets not dropping, but I think that pretty much all the armor we get for story completion has identical sets that can be made through crafting. Not sure what the others would be, though.

@RoseofGilead.8907

In fact the other 2 choices out of the 3 ARE craftable either actually drop, I’ve been playing since day1 and I’d honestly give even 30g just for the Stalwart helm skin, but sadly it’s nowhere to be found.

Just to point out, I’m not into armorsmithing either weaponsmithing so I don’t know exactly which set you can craft but they are usually sold through the market anyway, however I checked a lot and I can’t seem to find those items, in my whole playthrough I haven’t found a single player wearing those armor pieces either.

Most of these are unique rewards in later parts of the story missions, inspect all rewards before you pick

@Ruggy.7819

I know, but I created my character on day1 and as such I didn’t know which item would/wouldn’t drop, there weren’t guides and the market had yet to display all of the items due to the lack of high level people, so I simply picked the armor that had the best stats for me (the wrong ones appearently XD), so I’d have to start a new medium-armor-character just to get those skins, and even if I did, I wouldn’t be able to get the complete set anyway because some pieces are missing…

Here is a PvP only skin for light armor:
http://argos-soft.net/GW2ArmorGallery/index.php?weight=1&race=0&color=10&sex=1&armorSet=voodooi

It shares an icon with a crafted set, but when you craft it the appearance is different.

This could be another:
http://argos-soft.net/GW2ArmorGallery/index.php?weight=2&race=0&color=10&sex=1&armorSet=guildmi

It says Stalwart is available through story, but I never saw it.

@ElenaDragon.8401

Ehm…. which one? you linked a gallery =S
Could you please post an appropriate screenshot either list the right name of the item, you said it shares the icon, maybe it’s a name errata.

Also… are you completely sure it’s not given in any way not even through personal story rewards? (possibly these http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Further_into_Orr)

Ah, I see the links to specific pages don’t work. Bah.

I am sure about the first one (light armor) that I posted. There is a thread about it here:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Update-PVP-Masquerade-Armor-Set-in-PVE/first#post1271081

Edit: Actually it seems that the gallery links work if you copy and paste instead of clicking through.

@Daecollo.9578

I have the chest (rerolled a new char and got it to 30+), want a screenshot?

It is a reward for:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/An_apple_a_day
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mightier_than_the_Sword
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Quaestor%27s_Siege

If you want another screenshot (in abyss maybe <3) just ask I already gave it to my main via transmutation.

@ElenaDragon.8401

Thanks I’ll update the first post then, I think it makes more sense if we name this set Tribal and not Masquerade as other topics mentioned an errata too.

I know the chestplate is available (the ugliest piece of the entire set, lol.), but the Stalwart Boots/Gloves/legs don’t look like the ones in the PVP vender.

They just share the name.

@Daecollo.9578

I see I didn’t get those yet as it’ll take a ton of time to get me there then I’ll update the first post, but could you tell me which skin they show then first?

r freak — thanx for posting , i have posted about this a few time myself and have never gotten response , i wish the medium headgear was available , those are the best two — commando, stalwart — ive gotten the coats and pants for these sets but never a hat , but i did see someone else with one once (commando)
im guessing anet saving it for something, why not release them otherwise, oh well i guess i got to kepp leveling medium armor wearers and hope i get it in personal story reward

red answer would be great for this — thanx

@diggdugg.9815

The personal story rewards are actually listed in the wiki

Yes, the Stalwart’s truly the best which is a shame to see it missing, about seeing some1 wearing it however, must have been either in PvP OR beta (or pirate hat perhaps, very similar but kinda sucks compared to the coolness of stalwart).

Not even the wiki has proper info about them as even the PvP locker has wrong skins/icons.

I’ve been delving through many sites only to find people that were like me, searching for those specific skins, didn’t exactly know what those skins were (shame on’em) or how to obtain’em, I even read those were the WvW rewards (lol) and not a single person had the real thing… which is why I’m making this topic, first to point a direction for those looking for these sets (like myself) and second, to make people realize devs shouldn’t bother making new armors when there are some that are in game and not yet available.

The helm from the Conquest set (medium karma armor unique to Fireheart Rise) isn’t available in PVE either, as far as I can tell. The relevant karma merchant sells the mask from the Gunner set for some reason, even though they sell the correct light and heavy helms.

@Hyper Cutter.9376

I think you’re mistaken, did you try out the Cursed Shore NPCs? They should sell the Conquest armor pieces too (I got the chest for one of my favourite armor combos there so I know).

I would love to know if the Stalwart’s Boots from the PVP set can be found in PVE. However, from what I’ve seen and the efforts I went through I think it’s impossible. The lv.71 personal story reward “Stalwart’s Boots” share only the name with that set and are in fact just the beginner medium boots. If I had to make a guess I’d say that they were meant to share the skin but the model didn’t get properly linked and so the story reward took to the default appearance making it a rather boring and pointless choice. Of course, I don’t know for certain but it would be nice to have a better means of finding this stuff so us medium armor wearers (ranger here) can diversify a bit!

I see kaiserneon.8427, I’ll update the first post because I saw a couple other topics saying so too, if somebody can provide the screenshot to prove it please post it (fear not, I’ll update the list, though the boots might not be the only missing skins sadly…).

Bumpedy bumpy bump

I’d like this to be stickied in order to give some help to those looking for such armor skins (maybe desperately) either have some official response on the matter.

Besides, let’s go on and contribute giving more information, I have yet to meet an heavy armor skin expert I guess, it’s hard to believe ALL heavy stuff is available in PvE.

Shining Blad Light Armour (Anise’s set)

http://argos-soft.net/GW2ArmorGallery/index.php?sex=0&weight=3&race=2&color=0

This is a good site to find armors, shows acquisition and stats.

@Karizee.8076

Yes but the problem is some of those are not available in any way in PvE and some others are quite easily missable so… here’s the topic.

There’s just a couple that are Glory vendor or PvP reward only.
I’m ok with that. Those guys earned those.

@Karizee.8076

It’s not a matter of glory/pvp reward or not, they ARE meant to be found in PvE but they aren’t in reality, the fact that some pieces of those armors actually ARE available means they are meant to be there, even the fact that some skins are not matching (with the name) is quite the bug and it needs to be listed, you wouldn’t believe how many clueless topics I’ve seen up to now, please avoid posting if you don’t know for sure what we’re talking about.

@Safer Saviour.9685

Is that skin actually shown in game anywhere? (PvP locker)
I’m aware there are some NPC-onky skins but we can’t do anything about those.

So… any news around here? Nothing? I’d really like if this managed to get into next patch (just a quick fix to drop rates if it was meant to).

Also… are ALL heavy armors actually available?

Rfreak.6591:

As of now there’s a number of armors or pieces of such armors which are still entirely missing from PvE, …

Commando gloves (entirely missing)

I hope this gets bumped. I want to get my human thief tier 3 cultural armour. I love the top, shoes, and legs, but I don’t show mask, and I’ll be using different shoulders than are available. The tier 3 gloves are hideous to me, and the ONLY gloves that really look good with the outfit are those which are labeled as “Commando” in the PvP locker. In my case gloves DO matter. I don’t mind waiting until a high level to get the skin, but I DO want to be able to get the skin, and I DO want to be sure I’m going to be able to get them – especially since I am going to be making a decent financial investment (for me) in the rest of the armour. C’mon ANet, help us out here. Don’t let Fara go with ugly gloves.

Just a little reminder because of the incoming patch, I’d like to see the issue described in this very topic fixed or, if possible, confirmed to be worked on.

Also wanted to check a bit more if people found out more unavailable skins that, even thought they are implemented in-game, there’s no way to find’em outside of pvp.

I’ve been asking for Tribal Armor to return (believe it was PvE available in Beta events) for a while. Please make it happen!

You realize the Commando set uses the same skin as the Barbaric set right?
Right?
(edit: The heavy armor Commando set)

The tribal armor skin can be purchased from Master Armorsmith vendors in the borderlands and EB maps for only 160 badges of honor. If you don’t want to play wub-wub, then that’s more or less hitting up the jumping puzzle in EB about eight times, easily doable without any combat for those not interested in/afraid of/etc. pvp, especially if you have alts and friendly mesmers on your server.

The pieces are also available on non-max armor as karma rewards (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Tactical_armor). Transmutation stones/crystals will keep this skin relevant for you.

Either method should allow you to get the look on any light armor of your choosing.

@synk.6907

That’s not the armor skin we are talking about

@Croark.3402

That’s not the medium-armor Commando armor set displayed in the mists.ù

Refrain from posting wrong information to prevent further confusion on an already quite confusing matter.

Just… do you guys even read before posting?

Synk was not referring to your commando problem, He was responding to invictus looking for tribal armor skins.

@Aeonblade.8709

I know that

Tribal Armor Set (LIGHT)

There is a heavy leg piece which matches the guild chestpiece which is in PvP lockers but which I have never been able to find in PvE. It’s very similar to the banded set but the shape of the cloth area (the bottom of the guild tabard, effectively) is different and the whole ‘skirt’ part sits differently on my Norn, at least in the preview window – it’s more centred on her torso, and flares out less.

could you provide screenshots so I don’t mistake things?

Whichever name the Medium hat has that is the Lionguard hat (tricorn with eye mask), that’s not available PvE. I thought it was called Conquest?

It is the only PvP skin I truly desperately want in PvE.

Rfreak.6591:

@synk.6907

Please accept my apologies. I’ve confused those two armor sets since launch.
That doesn’t mean much considering the darn name being different is sitting there, staring me in the face, I suppose.

this is really disappointing.

i really wish they would fix these poor, poor left out skins.
some of us would really like to use them.

images related.
i can only look at them and sigh and frown. then go back to the main game and cry.
you don’t want us to cry, do ya Arenanet? : (

yeah, this is really stupid. Why on earth would these NOT be in PvE? 8 months & still nothing? I can’t gasp what is going though their heads.

I don’t get why these wheren’t added with the other realtively uncommon armors to the wvwv vendor, so badly want these stalwart shoulders as they are pretty much the only ones that fit with the new set I put together and the same thing for commando gloves just like Gabrielle up here, so annoying >.<

There are other stupid things like some weapons not using the proper skins like the shortbow in the hawkkeep it’s using the longbow skin but in pvp you can see it has it’s own smaller version wich looks much better same thing goes for the pirate shortbow.

I will note that a very kind soul saw my post here and sent me info in game. The Lionguard hat CAN be worn PvE! You need 20 badges of honor, I believe. Go to your Borderlands keep, head to the little set of vendors in the covered area. The female vendor to the front has tabs; bottom tab, and scroll all the way down to Conquest, and you get the skin.

I have been so happy with my Thief’s look ever since.

It would be nice if PvE could get the PvP Tribal/masquerade Armor… seems like such a waste of gorgeous armor

As soon as I saw Alastia Crow in the personal story wearing her tribal armor, I went searching for the type. Only available in PvP.
I do hope they have plans to add it to PvE. The more skins for armor/weapons the better.
