I was just browsing around the Trading Post out of boredom and noticed something listed under Weapons: Toy.

I tried doing a search on the forums, but nothing relevant came up so I figured I’d ask.

As far as what came up when I search items in that category on the Trading Post, nothing came up.

It does make me wonder what kind of profession would use Toys as a weapon. Maybe the Scholar professions, or even an Engineer— they look like the types that would tinker with Toys.

Any idea if we should expect something interesting in that category?

/EDIT: Okay, a little Wiki search somewhat solved my question: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Toy … apparently, the only toys in the game are those purchased from the Gem Store.

On the other hand, the possibility of functional toys that can be trained and used in combat does sound intriguing. I guess that would be an interesting Suggestion to put in.

I’m guessing something like a bundle that can do some fun things or be mini-games and whatever.

One example is the frying pan that comes with the Cook’s outfit from the gem store. They are like the weapons you can pick up, but you can’t use them in combat.

I’m having a blast with that stupid thing… I just grabbed the pirate’s outfit too while it’s on sale, but I haven’t put it on a character yet.

It’s pretty much what it sounds like. It’s going to be little fun items you can use to replace your skills with “fun” things for holidays or minigames.

For example, some kind of snowball launcher, or for summer a toy watergun. There can be others that might allow interaction with minigames, for example a mallet for carnival games, boxing gloves for some amateur boxing, etc.

Sadly, these will probably mostly be paid microtransactions rather than things given out for free.
