Guild Wars 2

I see this question asked a lot so for those of you who don’t know how to do this here it is again!

1. Look for the item in gw2spidy or Guildhead
2. Get the item ID from the URL, for example: www.gw2spidy.com/item/19697
3. And paste the ID (19697) here: http://streamchan.com/gw2id.html
4. Paste the resulting code in the chat box, left click preview.

ArenaNet we should really have a sticky for this imo!

Conversely, look up the item in the GW2Guru Database and they have the item codes posted there.

to much work just to preview an item in the tp. The devs should had implemented it in the first place. No clue on why they would not add that in automaticly.

they did not have time to implement it.

The TP UI is nothing but a web browser built into the game.

It would take a lot of time and resources to let us preview items in game.

You can already preview the city clothes from the Gem Store.

you can bypass 2) and 3) with http://www.guildwarstrade.com/search. this site only has items that are on the trading post though. find what you what to preview and copy the code into the chat.

Thanks, this is really helpful! :)

Helpful thread. Kudos. Wouldn’t it be better to put it in the Player Helping Player forum though?

Hey why didn’t I think of that! DOH!

(Mods if you would please! :P )

They have a new TP UI in the works and I can only hope it’s almost ready!
