ascended weapons skins
Ascended weapon skins? Were there such things? We can now craft Ascended weapons, and they can also be obtained from rare loot drops. I don’t think people would be happy with Ascended weapon skins. Ascended weapons are a new tier of gear, with different (higher) stats than exotic. Perhaps, you misunderstood some of the information released. I am not sure.

Someone in another thread claimed that Teq’s preview video contained a peek at a new greatsword, presumably an ascended weapon that can drop with the event rewards. I don’t have any details, I think the preview blurb said that ascended weapons can drop but I don’t recall if they are unique skins, like Final Rest from the Shadow Behemoth event.
Ahh..I thought he meant skins, as in putting a skin (only) on another weapon. If he just wants to see what the new Ascended weapons look like, there are some pictures on Dulfy, and maybe on the wiki. I’m not sure if there are any new (unique) model-skins for the Ascended weapons that don’t drop in those boxes. Or if any do drop outside the Ascended Weapon box.
I know what he is referring to. I don’t remember if it was on the Tequatl page or not but I do recall them mentioning Teq will drop a skin unique to his fight.
After much searching, I found the reference. These are posted notes taken from the Pax Conference interview:
‘Has chance to drop Ascended weapon, with a brand new reskin that are exclusive to Tequatl, and you can get a mini version of Tequatl as a rare drop!’
I didn’t re-watch the interview, but I am assuming Dulfy’s notes are accurate.

So, yes, it looks like there will be Tequatl-exclusive Ascended weapon skins. Cool!
