Q:
How long does Shadow Weapon stay as 1 ticket?
Anet doesn’t give us the next update schedule, so there’s no-way to tell how long the shadow weapons will remain as 1 ticket.
You answered your own question.
Too long for some, not long enough for others.
Your first line answers the question. “Anet doesn’t give us the next update schedule, so there’s no-way to tell how long the shadow weapons will remain as 1 ticket.”
Generally they last until a new set of ticket weapons debuts, could be a couple of weeks, could be a couple of months. New ones tend to show up on Tuesdays, so on any day you see them for 1 ticket, they should still be 1 ticket for the rest of the week until Tuesday.
There’s generally an announcement about a week prior to the cost going above 1 ticket as well. So if you’re concerned about not being able to get the weapons at the 1 ticket price, I would just make sure to keep an eye on news bulletins so that you’ll be informed about when the ticket price will be going up.
I can’t recall exactly how long the 1 ticket period was for the previous weapons, but I think it’s somewhere around a month.
Most typically they have been one ticket for a month, 2 updates from the time they were introduced. But not necessarily. And even if they say only X number of days, it doesn’t mean they will actually do that. There was one weapon set where they said a month and it turned out to be much longer (6 weeks or 2 months, I forget how long)
ANet may give it to you.
