How many days left of random gemstore sales?
Well, the month of “new gem store sales every day” was March. But the gem store is “updated” every Tuesday, sometimes with new items, sometimes with old items brought back, and sometimes with discounts. And Anet will sometimes have sales based around certain holidays and such. So, really, you can never tell if an item is about to go on sale or not. If you do buy an item at full price, only to find that the item has a discount applied to it a day or two later, you can contact support to ask for a refund of the extra amount you paid. As long as the original purchase isn’t, like, a week or a month before the discount change, support is pretty accommodating when it comes to that kind of stuff.
Anet will not give out this info and we have no idea. Random sales are generally ongoing. If it suddenly gets discounted a few days after purchase, support are usually pretty good at refunding the difference (albeit in gems)

Okay thanks! That’s what confused me. . I knew March was when they had that occur so I was confused that I keep seeing items return and sometimes discounts in the store.
I can’t find information or the answer to this anywhere. I want to know before I make a purchase of an outfit on the off chance it gets a discount. Thank you
There are always random sales, throughout the year; there’s no predicting what will/won’t be on sale.
If it happens that you make the purchase “just before” the sale, contact ANet support and they will usually refund the difference. (There are some exceptions, for various reasons.)
Speaking for myself, I try to divide my purchases into two categories: things that I will never buy at retail prices (just about everything) and things that I will consider paying full freight for. (Well, plus things I won’t get unless free.) For example, I love the Storm Bow and I have gotten good use out of it already, whereas I am glad I waited for the Cook’s outfit to be on sale.

And because SAB started not on a Tuesday, gem shop items related to the festivals are around until Friday I think.
We are heroes. This is what we do!
