Guild Wars 2

Currently we can select one of this stats from the Glorious Armor:

- Assassin
- Berserker
- Carrion
- Clerics
- Dire
- Knight
- Magi
- Rabid
- Rampager
- Shaman
- Soldier
- Valkyrie

considered the last changes, it would be nice to be able to select a few more stat combination from this exotic armor box that is considered to be “a pve prize for pvp players”

at least Sinister would be nice.

I agree, in the end the Glorious Armor can not be sold and then put the stat Sinister is as if I craft it by myself

Sinister/Verata is an account bound stat, so if pve players want to craft it, they also have to earn geodes to pay for the recipes and level their crafting to craft it themselves.

PvP Players have the option to take the maguuma wastes reward track in order to earn geodes, which they can use to obtain the recipes, craft the insignia and then change the stats on the armor from the glorious box via forging.

Working as intended.

By that logic, glorious armor is also account bound so why not give it all stat selections?

There’s still the charged quartz and other ingredients involved. Seems like it wouldn’t affect anything to add some more options to it.

Though it is odd the best under water helm (exotic+selectable stats) was best obtained in sPvP.

Thats a different logic. Every PvE player has to complete specific content in order to obtain the recipe for sinister inscriptions and insignias. The same goes for PvP players, who have to complete a specific reward track to obtain the geodes.

And you dont have to charge quartz in order to craft sinister gear as you can buy the charged sheets of ambrite on the trading post for gold.

Why do you keep referring to Geodes in regards to Sinister?

Sorry, my bad. Bandit crests for sinister, geodes for nomad.

Doesnt really matter though as both currencies are used to purchase the recipes for the account bound inscriptions/insignias and both currencies are available in pvp through their respective reward tracks.

Sinister is on the tp for dirt cheap though. Well, before the patch. Verata went up more than exotics but all are still cheap compared to farming crests.

Wonder how many intend to use the track’s Geodes for the Ambrite weapon the end gives. Do have to farm a few extra to do that.

I think you are misunderstanding the concept of crafting sinister/verata and nomad/ventari gear.

The recipes for the different armor and weapon pieces are freely tradeable on the tp, thats correct. However, in order to craft that gear, you will need to learn to recipe to craft the inscriptions and insignias. Those recipes, just like the insignias and inscriptions themselves, are account bound, which means you cant get them on the trading post.

You have to purchase them with geodes (nomad/ventari) or bandit crests (sinister/verata), then craft the insignias/inscriptions yourself.

If you want to chance your stats on the armor piece you got from the glorious Box to sinister, you can do so via the mystic forge recipe. That requires you to craft an exotic sinister insignia and the recipe for that has to be purchased with bandit crests.

You can either complete specific content in pve to earn those or choose the maguuma reward track in pvp.

nomad’s also pls

Glorios Armor Box is Exotic, not Ascended. You can’t change stats on them via Mystic Forge! You can only select one combo stat when binding it for the first time.

Ah, ok. I dont PvP that much.

But my point remains, you shouldnt be able to choose sinister or nomad on them, as their acquisition is tiedto completing specific content.

Nothing wrong with multiple methods of achieving the same end result though.

It would devalue the rewards from the silverwastes reward track.

Why? That Track is not repeatable. Done and gone.
There is no doubt that Glorious Armor should give Sinister and Nomad stats
