I’m a little confused here. I did the story, received the greatsword and thought wow, I’ll complete the collection. This is where it gets confusing.
I crafted the 4 orbs and 4 scions, but I cannot figure out how to actually craft the weapons. Do you need to first do the HoT story 4 more times (ugh, please no) and then use your orb/scion/vision crystal each time?

It seems after reset I got the mail from the Pale Tree to come speak with her. I went and talked to her and completed that part. I went back to my home instance and Ridhais had moved a bit but I was able to talk and got the option to trade the sword I got in for a ‘Regrown Caladbolg’ + 1000 unbound magic. The ‘Regrown Caladbolg’ is soulbound but you double click on it to select which of the other weapons you would like. You get the Ascended weapon then which is like all other Ascended weapons. You can open the rest of the collection that way without having to craft anything but you only have one weapon. If you want them all, not just the skins then you would probably have to do the crafting bit.
Yes, it is not clear at all. I think you would need to have a total of 5 characters having gone through HoT in order to actually acquire all 5 weapons. I only had one that did it and cringe at the thought of going through that again….

i haven’t seen anywhere to preview these weapons in game. Is there a chatcode cause i don’t see it in wardrobe storage?

Thank you for this post. That saved me so much time and gold/materials.

Yeah, really wish I had known there was a way to do the collection BEFORE crafting all of those. I don’t need/want the weapons, I just wanted the achievement/ap.

If they are not saleable I would submit a ticket to see if they would give the materials back since you had no way of knowing and it really wasn’t clear.
