Guild Wars 2

So apparently people have been telling me that there are weapon/armor skins beyond what they did at launch that don’t require gold or store purchases. I’m curious if someone has that data because I’ve tried looking at the confusing network of searches on google/wiki and I’ve even tried guildhead but for whatever reason they don’t list them.

I know about the crafted one in the fort where we fight Jormag’s claw but I’ve not seen any of the other ones other then holiday stuff.

Oh I should point out also that it’s not dungeon sets I’m after either.

No one has any idea? I promise this isn’t a complain thread I genuinely would like to know :P

In theory, the new weapon sets can be acquired via pure luck as drops (the boxes drop in southsun cove), so I guess there’s that. The previous fused weapons could also be acquired by getting keys from map completion or personal story.

Also, the guild weapon set was added a couple patches back, as well as guild back banners in the April update. Also the new Fused Gauntlets and Molten Jetpack from the Flame & Frost content.

As for entire armor sets, I can’t think of any non-gem store sets.

Well there was SAB skins that weren’t Cash shop RNG only items. But yeah, most (I would say at least 3/4 of them) have been in the BLTC, and about 80% of those were/are stuck in those kitten RNG cash boxes.

Two new sets of weapons were added with Fractals (the Fractal skins themselves, and the black and white exotics that drop already bound). The Fused skins, guild weapon skins, SAB skins, Braham and Rox’s skins and the new creepy southun stuff would be it I think.

Hmm that’s not what this guy was telling me.

I wonder what it was he was talking about then. Weird.

I thought they had really added something cosmetic I could get with gameplay and not money and not doing dungeons. Even if it was a mystic forge thing that would have been annoying to me as a crafter however it still would have been something.

(scrolls up) ahh guild weapon sets maybe that was it. Any solo way of getting these things my guild doesn’t always do the events or group up like this?

The only way to get them is with commendations, which require doing guild missions. The most expensive weapons need 7 commendations, which is impossible to reach in one week, but only takes about an hour of gameplay total if you’re in an organized guild. There’s a lot of time gating on it (max commendations per week is 6, in a guild that has every mission unlocked, if you attend one mission of each type; each mission only offers commendations once per week.)

There are some large guilds in some servers that run public guild missions that any player can join the guild temporarily to get the mission rewards. If your guild isn’t running them yet, it may be worth looking into whether your server has any guilds that do that; as the game supports multi-guilding, you’ll only be temporarily not representing your guild.
