Guild Wars 2

Hi all!

I have been playing my Thief to lvl 80 now, and i have only met one single back item, which i think i got from my story. What is a back item? It is not visible as a cape on my character, but there is an on/off switch at the back item slot. Neither have i been able to find them on the Trading Post. How do we get them? Is the one i got from my story the only back item in the game? If so, why then even bother adding them?
I know this is a a lot of questions but i have really been searching a lot for info on them

Thanks in advance

There’s two from the story, one near the beginning and one near the end. These two have no visual.

If you’re in a guild with the guild armorer perk, you can buy a backpack from the NPC for 5G. This one has a visual (a backpack!).

You can also get one from the new Halloween quest from the Magister in the square in Lion’s Arch. It also has a visual and looks like a giant book on your back. :D

I see you’re a thief, but if you were an engineer, you could pick a backpack during character creation, as well.

Okay thanks! I can’t remember getting one near the end. I still have the first one, but my story is almost complete (Victory or Death). Maybe i sold it.. :/ Oh well, kitten happens

Have a nice day!
