Guild Wars 2

So, I’m kind of frustrated as to Halloween weapon skins costing 2 black lion tickets a piece. Is there any particular reason for that?

Because once you unlock them all, you get 5 tickets back as a reward, which would essentially make them free if they had been priced at 1 ticket.

1) to increase their rarity whilst not making them ridiculously unobtainable (ie 5 tickets like some skin)

2) Getting all 5 skins gives 5 tickets back in return for the achievement collection.

There are only 5 pieces in the collection. If the price was 1 ticket then when you completed the collection you would be rewarded with 5 full tickets 100% refunding your purchase and allowing you to keep the skins. I am actually surprised these were not 3 tickets each to be truthful.

Maybe if you searched before making this thread, you would have found the answer. This has been talked about since the day they were added to the gem store.

The reason is they are not new skins. They are returning skins. Only new, never before released skins, get to cost 1 ticket. Returning skins will always cost more.

I tried searching, nothing came up under Halloween skin

I suppose it could be that there are less weapons in the collection so they want it to be not too easy in relation to the normal collections to finish. However, as it has already been mentioned, it is mainly because they would essentially be free if they costed 1 ticket (which they effectively do if you get them all).

Are any skins available beyond using black lion tickets for those of us that never fell for the scam of buying keys?

Aren’t they on the TP?

Do you mean the gem store? I will look tonight.

Not the gems store itself, players sell them via the trading post

Searching for gw2 Halloween skins will lead you to Wiki, which lists Halloween weapon skins under: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Black_Lion_Weapons_Specialist#Halloween_Weapons

Clicking on one of them gives you the information that
During the Halloween 2014 Blood and Madness event as well as the 2015 Halloween event, the usual price of 5 Black Lion Claim Tickets was reduced to 2. Which tells you it’s a returning skin reduced in price from 5 tickets each to 2.
