So, with the patch came a new WvW track to get hero’s weapon, which is fine and all, but how exactly are we going to upgrade them into mistforged hero’s weapons?

remember, the old way was to spend WvW tournament tickets, mistforged hero’s weapons costed like 300 or so tickets (i forget), if you didn’t have that much you could get the downgraded hero weapon, then upgrade it using a gift of heros and some elonian wine and such in the mystic forge.

So I saw absolutely no reference to gift of heroes at all, Anet, where and how do we upgrade these items now?

They might have just forgotten about it (They’ve forgotten whole weapon sets before cough Revenant Weapon Set).

Or, they’re deliberately not putting it into the game, as a prestige item for players who played in WvW Season 1, which is bad in my opinion, because when ever I see a discontinued item, it doesn’t make me think they have an achievement, it just makes me think they were in the right place at the right time.

Mistforged Hero weapons did cost 300 WvW Tournament Claim Tickets. (I managed to get the Greatsword last time)

You do have a point. They added a reward track for the Gift of Battle. It’s possible they’re working on it. It doesn’t make sense to add a reward track for the Hero weapon skins but no way to upgrade them to unlock the Mistforged versions.

I will say it is nice they added the Hero Weapons to a reward track so we can actually get them now. Before, you had to participate in a limited time event, and were rewarded with the tokens based on how well your server did. This event hasn’t come back for a couple years or so.

There’s something charming about rangers.

Would like to know the answer to this myself. There are at least 3 skins I like but without the ability to upgrade them to Mistforged not sure if it’s worth the trouble.
