Guild Wars 2

I’ve been waiting through the whole Halloween event for the outfit to become available, and I thought it was so lucky that it was still added today, but it’s only in the bundle, and I really don’t want to buy ~2250 gems for it. I already have the Watchwork Mining Pick, I don’t want a Shared Inventory Slot, and I have all the dyes I need. And all the other outfits currently there (like the Ironclad and White Mantle) can all be purchases separately. Did I miss it?

You did not afaik

Same boat. This is the first time it has been on the shop this go around. I don’t want to spend any unneeded gems either as I too have the pick.

ANet please add it as a separate buy option, not everyone can afford spending like $30 USD just to get the outfit they want.

Last time it was around was the end of April this year. You just have to by your time and wait for it to return.

But it’s there. And nearly every outfit I’ve seen has been part of those bundles and individually. I remember waiting forever for the Bandit Sniper outfit to come back, and when it did over the summer I was glad I could just get it on its own for 700 gems instead of getting the full thing.

Second this. I hoarded up gems specifically in anticipation of the outfit, but it’s only available as part of the bundle now. I also have the pick already, don’t need or want more shared slots and have no desire to gamble with gemstore dyes, as that never ends well. So please, Anet, you’ve done it before, do it again: let us buy the outfit separately.

Still might be worth having, if you use more than one char, so you don’t have to keep switching mining tool every time you switch chars.

BTW, has anyone noticed that, when your char wears heels, they don’t get any taller?

In fact, their legs get shorter.

So, whereas I estimate my char was about 5’ 9", with (unusually long) 37" legs, in flat boots; she is only about 5’ 4" (minus heels), with about 32" legs, in the Raiment of the Lich heels.

Kind of defeats the purpose of wearing heels, if it actually reduces height and leg length.

Wonder why they did it like that?

I keep the pick and other farming tools in my shared slots, so no need to buy more than one set even though I have a bunch of alts. So no, not worth buying it a second time, at least to me.

Bundles really only make sense if you can obtain most of the items individually, and it would be cheaper to buy the bundle if you wanted all the contents anyway. ANet please. Money’s been tight for me for the last 6 months (your house burning down will do that to ya), I can’t spend $30 USD just to get an in-game outfit right now.
