Guild Wars 2

So this might be an odd question, but ill give an example.

Currently there are only 4 leyline longbow skins out there.

There are TONS of the other skins which i find it hard to believe the leyline warhorn is more popular than the long bow.

Because of this, the skin is now over 200g, but definitely is not comparable in value to the other skins all ~100g or half that or less.

What i want to know is how do I make a trade for an item like that, if someone has the tickets to get the skin?

Is there a way to do that legitimately through TP? Like could i put in a buy order for an item at x price, tell that guy which one it was, and he could sell it to me for that buy order?

Im curious about that because there are some items that i like that are unpopular, but overpriced due to it. If i find someone wanting to make some gold and sell me the skin at the same time, i need a way to do so.’

Having the person list it under what its currently at(if they’re not selling) does no good either.

Has anyone also done this for others? I am curious, thanks!

If you want to convince someone to convert scarce tickets to a weapon skin then you need to factor in the value of 5 tickets. A Leyline weapon costs 5 tickets. Since the cheapest one ticket weapons sell for 60-90 gold then you should expect to have to pay the guy at least 300 gold (60 gold x 5 tickets) If less than that then he should buy 5 weapon skins and sell them for 60 gold each, not sell one weapon to you for 100 gold less than what the tickets are worth. The current Ley Line weapon skins are less than 300 gold because they were bought with only one ticket.

Your best bet is to put in a buy order for a price you want and hope someone sells to you.

Way to trade outside TP goes like this:

You advertise that you want to sell/buy something for some amount of gold

After sending the item/gold you come in the forums and write a thread about how you were scammed and ask if Anet gives refunds.

That is how it usually goes.

Through TP itself it is not possible to choose to who you sell or which one of the offers you buy.

It’s exactly because the warhorn is less popular that there are more skins of it available. Most of the leyline skins on TP come from the time they could be bought for 1 ticket. Seems the supply of longbow skins is running out.

Basically, you are unlikely to get a leyline skin now for significantly less than the sell price. Even if you were to find someone to spend their tickets for the skin and sell it for you, it’s unlikely to be cheaper. From a purely economical point of view, it should be much higher, actually (as buying new skins at 1 ticket apiece is a far better investment).

Ah well unfortunately, i just came in to the game ~1month ago, and i was unaware that they were “Cheaper” at some point.

That would change a lot then.

I was under the assumption that they were always 5tickets, so it seemed off from all the other units.

They’re pretty unpopular as it is…. hmm. 200g for a leyline longbow. Ill have to think about that

They’re so hard to match to anything, like no colorscheme works

The newest black lion skins always cost 1 ticket. The price gets raised only after new skin set takes their place (and some older skin sets were removed from the vendor completely and thus their prices on TP are very, very high now). Most of the skins on tp come from people buying skins in that short period and keeping them until the cost gets high enough.

Ah so all the original skins and stuff were all that price at one time.

Good thing i skipped out on the latest set, they had nothing special worth buying imo.

No cosmetic or animation or particle differences to set them apart.

And with the new ley line armor coming out.. crap. I might just have to go broke
