Guild Wars 2

I read somewhere that there were going to be 4 new rare weapon skin sets added to the Weapon Master in the Retribution patch (Aureate, Flame, Verdent, and Norn). However, I don’t know if this is true and/or where to find these skins. Any help/info would be much appreciated.

I don’t think they’re new sets, I think they’re PvE sets that you previously couldn’t preview in the PvP Lockers. They all have names that match existing PvE sets anyway, and all Tier 2 Cultural Weapons if I recall correctly.

+1, saw something in the patch notes about this, would like some info

PRETTY sure that you guys are talking about the 4 skins (Mace, Shield, Bow, Quiver) that is in the cash shop.

Yeah, Melchior is right about them existing already -- they’re skins that you can otherwise get from tier vendors in PvE (e.g. Seraph Outfitter for aureate skins, flame skins off Mala in the Citadel) now being offered as rare skins for badges on WvW vendors.

The badge-based skins work similar to the HoM skins, if you have access to those.

The ones in the shop are specific skins of Roxy/Braham’s weapons.

Do you know where I can find these vendors in WvW, because I just checked and I didn’t see any new skins being offered.

Head into a borderlands or EB and look for "Weapon Master [Weaponsmith]" vendors (don’t go to the "Weapon Trader [Weaponsmith]" ones -- they don’t offer anything of value).

The default tab is all of the exotic "Invader’s" weapons (power, vitality, toughness -- like soldier’s prefix gear), but there should be icons on the left for Common and Rare skins categories as well. The new ones are under rare-quality and cost 50 - 100 badges depending on which weapon it is.
