Guild Wars 2

With the 5th anniversary coming soon.

Do you think the new permafrost dye will be one of the choices in the usual dye pack that we have been getting at the anniversary.

There is some talk on Dulfy that it will.

I would really like to have that dye. Right now its selling for 500 to 600 gold. At that price, I could wait a couple of months for the anniversary if this is going to happen.

Any thoughts…..will this happen?

I don’t know if it will or won’t, but with the anniversary being so close by, I don’t see any reason not to wait to find out.

Either way it will be an account bound dye.

Last year, the two most recent dye sets didn’t make the cut. I imagine the same thing will happen this time. Still, it’s only two more months to wait.

I agree with Illconceived. I’d love for it to be in this August’s gifts, but I’ll be very (happily) surprised if it is. I will generally buy one 5-pack of new dyes if I like them, and hope, and rng has usually given me one of the dyes via that method. Not this time, alas. I’m certainly not in a position to pay hundreds of gold for a dye, so it’s birthday gifts or bust.

My five launch-weekend alts are ready, though!

I did some more looking around and found these two threads on Reddit.

Looks like there is no real consensus either way. I’ll probably wait and see. I would hate myself if I paid 600 gold for something I could get for free 2 months later.
