Subscribing on the off chance Phalanx armor comes back.

Wreath of Cooperation: 200 gems (50% off)

Jungle Explorer outfit: 490 gems (30% off)

Rampart Heavy armor: 640 gems (20% off)

Also, if this thread turns into a discussion of the merits of the items or suggestions for other items, the super useful informative point of it will be lost.

Thank you, Flesh, for the heads up on today’s items. I didn’t even think to look until you posted it, and a guildie who’s been playing less thanks to a new baby was able to snap up the Wreath of Cooperation which apparently she didn’t know about before.

I wants the holo dragon wings recolored and/or textured for things like claw of jormag, kitten, and my personal fav, to look like toxic wings (like the toxic gloves and shoulders? Those colors.)

Flesh maintains this thread as a generous and selfless service to other players and is not really for discussion of existing or potential future gem store items, but for notification of current item availability and discounts (thanks Fleshy!).

Your desire should instead be posted in the thread where such desires are made known to ANet: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Suggestions-Gemstore-Items

I think I have posted it there but people read this more I think

That doesn’t mean ANet employees read this thread. Those are the people you need to have reading your requests. If you want to make suggestions for new things, a thread of your own or the official request thread is the way to do it, as ANet staff reads those.

Adding a comment. Only the glider part of the Moth wings is dyeable. Not the backpack. It remains the default colors.

Also available short term if you go into the very back vault of the BLTC in LA:
Ley Line, Shadow, Mordrem, and Phoenix skins, 3 tickets each.

On dyeing the Moth glider: You get two channels, one for the field and one for the “eyes.” The edge of the glider remains default color, beige-ish.

Here’s a post from Dulfy with the video and pictures of the new Moth wings

“the glider can be dyed and has 2 dye slots.

Probably never.

My poor chars are reduced to living off raw meat and vegetables scavenged off the land while I wait for them to send me that big paycheck.

If that raw meat is slabs of poultry, your retirement fund tanked something fierce

Upvoted this in total agreement, and many thanks once more to Jafw.

Oh god. Run, JAFW. Run before she hobbles you!

Oh god. Run, JAFW. Run before she hobbles you!

It’s too late for me I’m afraid. Anet has failed to send me my thousands of gems for this thread and last night my char was arrested and jailed by the Asuran Peacemakers after being caught dumpster diving in the lowest corners of Rata Sum. The charges were vagrancy and no apparent means of support. I tried to tell them I was the one, the only, FLESH WOUND and that the check was in the mail but they hustled my char off to prison. I have my suspicions that they are in cohoots with ANet. They certainly got there fast enough. I barely had time to grab a few bites before the little ankle biters were dragging me off.

Now, I’m thinking an Asuran Ranger named Annie Wilkes with a pig named Misery is surely in order!

From the patch notes

• The new Electromagnetic Ascender toy is available in the Toys category of the Gem Store for 250 gems.
• The Electromagnetic-Descender Glider is available in the Upgrades category of the Gem Store for 400 gems.

Video of toy, from Dulfy

Both are available for 6 days. The toy will allow you to float through the air. (Just above ground level. Has a electromagnetic glider type effect).

Something I saw from a post by that_shaman. A dyeable floral glider is in the wardrobe. You can preview it. Has (white? dyeable?) petals coming off it. My guess is only the flowers and maybe the petals are dyeable. Not the green leafy background.

Darn, still no chain whip sword. The wait continues… >_>

Cool glider, by the way! With all the attention given to the sylvari and mordremoth in HoT, I’m surprised it’s taken this long for a plant-themed glider to surface.

This isn’t so much as a bump, more adding to Astrals post that the phoenix glider is in store for just 2 days during this window.

There will be many who will miss it, but worth getting the message out there since it was a highly requested skin

Glitter Bomb harvesting tool: 1000 gems

Home instance node pack is 2560 gems (the savings is 640 gems compared to buying them all at retail value of 3200).

Thanks to Just a flesh wound‘s timely edit, it’s clear that the node combo pack is 20% off the price of the components bought separately, e.g. 3200 for the full set (versus 4000 individually). See below if you want the math done for those who already own some of the packs.

Dulfy video of the Glitter harvester: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UO8LuSIAyDE

Also per the blog https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/its-skritt-week-at-the-black-lion-trading-company/ there may be more skritt-related items other days this week.

Illconceived Was Na.9781:

Home instance node pack is 2560 gems (the savings is 640 gems compared to buying them all at retail value of 3200).

the price is also adjusted depending on what nodes you already have in your home instance.

I’d gobble up the Home Instance Node pack if it were only 640 Gems, for sure! Lol.

I see where Flesh got the 640 figure — that’s the price if you only have one node left to get (in my case, leather). But the Leather Node still shows 800 gems individually priced, so I would need to buy the pack at 640 to get the discount.

Good point. There’s always a 20% discount. For those who don’t want to do the math:

• 5 Node/Node-packs: 3200 gems vs 4000 gems bought separately
• 4 items: 2560 vs 3200 separately
• 3 items: 1920 gems vs 2400 separately
• 2 items 1280 gems vs 1600 separately
• 1 item 640 gems vs 800 separately

Anyhow, the main point is: it’s not 640 to unlock it all. (I guess we know now that Just a flesh wound already owned four of them before today )

Incidentally (and speaking of math), at current gold:gem rates, it would take over 5 years to pay off each node pack, if you farmed them daily (closer to two years for the lumber, closer to 9 for cloth). So don’t buy them for the mats; like all gem shop items, they are convenient rather than cost-efficient.

???

I’m seeing it on my screen (main account) as 640 gems

Maybe it’s because I already have part of this and it’s showing the price as already discounted for the rest that’s remaining?

Ok, I switched to an alt account. NOW it’s 3200 gems. I didn’t realize it would matter which account I used to check. Editing.

So what’s the price y’all are seeing. On this account its 3200 gems. Is anyone seeing it as less who hasn’t bought any of the nodes before?

Edit: as calculated above then
5 Node/Node-packs: 3200 gems vs 4000 gems bought separately

I’m seeing it for 3200 on an alt account without any nodes

Ok thanks.

And thanks everyone for the catch and the math.

That certainly woke up the forum dwellers. I went off for a round of sapling murdering and come back to a bunch of posts. Lol. Well, now I know to use an alt account to check.

Illconceived Was Na.9781:

• 2 items 1280 gems vs 1600 separately

That’s really good to know. Looks like I’ll be getting those last two nodes today.

The nodes cost 2560 gems for me, and I only own the mineral one.

Would have tried it a few months ago, but it’ll be too hard to get more gems, so I’m probably saving for something else.

@JaFW

The tool-tip states that the price is adjusted for the amount of items in the pack one already owns.

This may be a new feature, or not…I don’t remember if the prices were different previously, if you already owned, say, a Glider that comes in an Outfit pack. If it is new, it is very handy. =)
