Guild Wars 2

in GW1 we have exclusive crafters, they are the kind of crafters with unique skins.
like the 15K armor, you can only get it from that specific crafter and they are relatively expensive.

now i was thinking, the only thing simular are dungeon armors but you have to do a dungeon instead of letting the crafter craft it’s work.
so what if we have a crafter in the world that can craft exclusive armor in exchange of the correct mats+gold, it doesn’t have to be worldly expensive but the crafter could be quite a long way out of the normal play areas. (like deep in orr or somewhere most players just don’t go to).

why not as a recipe you might ask, these skins can only be crafted by this specific crafter because of tradition, they don’t share their technique to anyone else but their own family.

i personally think skins are ether gained way to easy or way to hard, there is no middle road where you can just take mats and go to a crafter.

The way you suggest it would be no different to collecting heart vendor skins. With the wardrobe system the way it is all you’d have to do is purchase the skin once and that’s that.

“the crafter could be quite a long way out of the normal play areas. (like deep in orr or somewhere most players just don’t go to).”

With waypoints, there isn’t a spot in the game that’s not a jump to nearby and a short run and except for a few annoying Risen it’s not any harder to get to a spot deep in Orr than it is to a spot in Lions Arch once you gave the waypoint, unless you want to stick the crafter at the end of the Arah dungeon.

Truthfully, your suggestion of an NPC crafting a set of one time purchase armor isn’t really different than the one time purchase of cultural armors. One requires mats and one gold, but that’s about the only real difference.
