Ok, just looking through the wardrobe to see new stuff and get a bead on what I want to get from the new content. That is when I saw them. Invisible Shoes! Well Invisible Slippers. There are 3 different versions for each armor type and the are named.

So cause of that, I figured they could not be a glitch or something. I really would love the medium version for my eng silvari. It would be perfect.

So, does anyone know how to get them? I have tried doing searches and wiki and even dulfy. Yet no one has any info.

Thanks if you can help me out.

I think players (mostly humans) will look ridiculous barefoot, but this is something I’ve seen people ask for, so props for giving it to them, I suppose!

I have a few outfits for my charr that would look good without shoes. Especially on my mesmer.

Ya thought it might make my Engineer, Rose Oil’s look a bit more interesting. ;P

Though I would like it for my Charr as well as my Asuran.

Maybe just me, but wouldn’t just adding a toggle to hide your shoes/boots be easier? I mean, we can toggle our helmet, shoulders, and backpack, so instead of making a pair of invisible shoes, wouldn’t it of just been easier to add a toggle to hide them?

Or maybe it’s just a glitch. /shrug

Don’t know. So far I have yet to find an answer. I did not think it was a glitch though since the are actually named:

Invisible Slippers, Invisible Boots and Invisible Stompers! There is also something called Gyve of Madness that is only in the heavy boots section. The icon kinda looks like a shoulder piece but shows as invisible shoes.

I don’t think the option is meant to be visible. Assuming that Anet are intending to add a visibility toggle to boots in the future, this is probably an internal placeholder intended for keeping the existing boot stats whilst toggled.

They’re definitely not a glitch. I’ve been asking for a visibility toggle for the foot slot for a while, but to no avail. I think people finally got tired of my pestering and created this item for me to equip on all my characters so that they can be barefoot like me. :-)

I hope you’ll be able to share the spoils of victory with us Matthew! Congratulations on finally succeeding in your dream as well!

The only area I can safely not use shoes myself in Structured PvP due to not minding the minor loss of Armor from them. But being able to do so everywhere would be fantastic. :>

But I have to laugh. I have seen demands for it in the past, so it’s good it was met I suppose.

I actually don’t know where they are…if they’re a drop or part of a collection? They didn’t tell me since I think they want us all to find them. I’ll keep my eyes and ears open in game though, and if any of us gets a hint, hopefully we’ll update this thread. :-P

If I find them before you I will report back here, that is a promise! I’ve made a few petitions on the forums for a toggle option for shoes as well. Are you sure they’ve been implemented for being obtained? If they are I will embark on this wondrous quest and hopefully be succesful!

Did they give you any clues? like Halloween only or something?

Well I’ve emoted with Queen Jennah. So they’re not from her as far as I can tell… I thought that’d make the most sense to initially try, since dancing with her is a precursor step. I also checked all the vendors in Divinity’s Reach in case someone was selling cheap knockoffs; “Hey, these shoes are totally just invisible! Like Jennah’s! I’ll sell them to you for only 100g a piece!”

I’m kinda trying to think of things that make sense to try. I haven’t tried any mystic forge recipes. I don’t know where to start if that… thing is involved. I also checked a few HoT vendors, looked kindaish thoroughly through the achievements, and looked at the collectibles and didn’t see anything that raised an alarm.

I was thinking of trying to roam through Hoelbrak as the Norn tend to not wear shoes. I too didn’t find anything out of the collectibles. The Mystic Forge could be another place ofcourse, but that would be kind of cryptic unless there’s some really hint giving items.
It could also be related to the sylvari I suppose. Off to Hoelbrak, then!

So why does anet do this crap i like how bungie implemented a system that allowed you to track the area/ people you needed to work with in destiny to aquire items are you garunteed to get it first try hell to the no but you have a direction anet just screws us. If you are sincere matthew i am sorry that your fellow workers keep this kitten to themselves shows how greedy the company has become. Nightfury example people have spent 900g trying to figure out its recipe and only know like 50%

Give me an invisible chest piece too please. I’ll cry if you don’t. And it wont be the raid tears you crave. It will be empathy inducing tears that will make you feel sad.

If the Nightfury and these shoes are unlocked in the same way, we’ll never find them. It has taken people more than 1000g to try random recipes for it.
There are so few looking for these, we may never find them. ;_;
I hope they’re not exclusive to halloween. My norn has been needing these shoes for years to complete his shaman look.

Someone in my guildchat linked something called Gyve of Madness which was a Heavy Foot Armor with no model and showed my character barefoot in the viewer. It could be an unfinished item but the icon for it was strange indeed. didnt look like a shoe at all?

I think the Gyve of Madness may be Nightfury related, but I’m probably wrong.

I checked the Southsun beach vendors and had no luck. I also checked Hoelbrak and had no luck.

Today, when they remove the Itzel poison lore requirement, I plan on finishing the HoT story. I’ll report in if it’s a reward from that. I’ve also been looking for a Matthew NPC (and I thoroughly checked the Hoelbrak area where Colin’s NPC is). I’ll also try to check Lion’s Arch thoroughly (including the tavern that is only open at night).

I have plenty ideas of where they could be, but that is way too much ground to cover. I’ve seen a few Nightfury hints floating around — can we get a hint for these invisible pieces too, please?

I think it might likely be that Gyve of Madness is the invisible leg wear as the word gyve means a shackle that is used to bind legs. Now where would we get such a thing? I know we already have Shackles of Madness which are for the Glove slot and are bought for 6 Candy Corn Cobs.

It might be introduced on tuesday maintenance if they decide to add more content to halloween but I’m confused enough as it is already. Send help.

There was one briefly, actually. A… year or so ago, when a new armor was introduced in the files, the item code was determined but it lead to a nonexistent model/texture. I wish I could find my screenshots of that, since it was the only time I got to see my asura markings in their full glory.

I’ll settle for something medium-weight with an open back though?

I’m hoping for an invisible chest version for all weight classes too. Please devs make it happen an invisible set for those of us who want to hide individual pieces of armor, without losing the stats. It’s a brilliant concept, and I love that there are invisible shoes, now we just need it for helm, shoulders, chest, gloves and legs :P

Show some sense please people. Invisible shoes are a good addition, but be realistic about invisible chest and leg armours. This would mean too large a portion of the community would go around with all invisible armour and look like they are wearing just underwear.

IIRC, this post was made about the “Gyve of Madness”(which was misplaced as a footwear skin). Seeing as how this post and title was changed, this leads me to believe that the original gyve was never in the game and that’s why we can’t make nightfury.
