What are the sources of these claim tickets? Are they only available through Black Lion Chests or will they be dropping from event chests instead of other ticket event specific claim tickets (like the Dragon’s Jade Claim Ticket) in the future?

Basically I’m asking if there will be a single “currency” for all future skin sets?

If you read the patch notes correctly the answer to your first question is only from the Black Lion Chests.

Due to this release ends in two weeks I would guess the answer to the second question is no. Due to the tickets are still available after these next two weeks.

They will still keep dropping, but the price of the aetherized weapon skins will increase substantially. Right now you need 1 claim ticket or 10 scraps to get one of the weapon skins, after the 2 weeks are over the tickets and scraps will still keep dropping from the chests, but you’ll need 5 claim tickets or 50 scraps to get them.

Seems to me that they’re moving to that, having a permanently dropping single currency for new RNG based weapon sets, and keeping them on the game permanently as well, but with a substantial discount if you get them during the apropiate event, we’ll see if it’s a one time thing or a new permanent way to get the new skins.

It’s a pile of Elonian protection magic, mixed with a little monk training,
wrapped up in some crazy ritualist hoo-ha from Cantha.
A real grab bag of ‘you can’t hurt me. They’re called Guardians.

That certainly seems to be the case, it does state that they have been added to the black lion chest it doesn’t say they’re only in the black lion chests. I was wondering if people got them from other sources that grant Black Lion goods, like from daily rewards, map or story completion, and so on.

Due to this release ends in two weeks I would guess the answer to the second question is no. Due to the tickets are still available after these next two weeks.

My second question was will these be replacing event specific tickets in the future, I know these tickets are staying around.

That sounds reasonable, I dislike the sheer scale of the price hike after 2 weeks (5 times the price is very steep) but if this is their new pattern for the future then you could keep a Black Lion Claim ticket until a set comes along with a weapon that you like and then buy it.

It’s just a pity they didn’t make the Black Lion Claim tickets trade-able instead of the skins, oh well.

There are nothing in the patch notes that state that they drop elsewhere so the answer to your first question is no. I also have not seen them drop elsewhere. The skins themself drop but not the tickets.

The answer to your second question is yes for the foreseeable future.

Are the claims tickets just for the new weapons or can you buy an old one, like a flame and frost weapon, with it?

Just the new. From my understanding.
