Guild Wars 2

So, I can’t buy it until I get it as a drop/reward first. All it says on the wiki is Carapace Legging Box is only offered after completion of No Refuge.

However, I do have the headgear, shoulders, and gloves unlocked. Here’s what it says about them:

Carapace Headgear Box is only offered after completion of The Mystery Cave.
Carapace Shoulder Box is only offered after completion of Hidden Arcana.
Carapace Glove Box is only offered after completion of Into the Labyrinth.

Headgear and gloves are also ‘only’ offered on completion of living story episodes, but I have them, so can I also get the legs as a drop somewhere too?

I started 3 weeks ago, so don’t have any living story episodes unlocked, and I’d have to pay 200 gems to get one, so I’d like to avoid that if possible :P

No, there is no way to get the leggings box without doing the LS chapter, and you can only get the other two boxes of leggings from the vendor once you’ve done that chapter.

Headgear is ONLY obtainable via completion of its corresponding LS chapter (which was released about a week before you started playing), too, so you had to have done that chapter to get those. The gloves can drop from lost bandit chests and greater nightmare pod chest in the labyrinth. The shoulders are also a rare drop from killing the five champions during the Breach in Silverwastes.

The shoulders can drop from the underground champs and the gloves and boots can drop from the bandit chests.

From the patch notes

Earn pieces of Carapace leg armor by completing the Seeds of Truth storyline. Extra pieces can also be purchased for bandit crests.

At some point there will probably be a Season 2 + HoT or an everything bundle.

That’s what I mean though haha, I haven’t done any season 2 stuff, but have the headgear unlocked in the vendor somehow, despite the fact it shouldn’t be according to the wiki :P

And I’m too impatient to wait until a bundle haha

I’m saying you obviously did that living story chapter, which is why it’s unlocked at the vendor for you. I’m not sure how the other two worked since they’re also on loot tables to drop from other areas of the game, but the headgear should be/is tied to the LS.

Sorry I misunderstood you and edited the post, but only as you were writing that haha.

I haven’t even activated the living story once yet (where you switch between the personal story and living story), and I don’t think I’ve received it as a drop as all the skins are locked, but it’s definitely unlocked in the vendor :P

That could just be one of the many bugs. There are some items that do not seem to be unlocking for people when they are supposed to.

I haven’t done any of Living World Season 1 or 2 and I have Headgear, Boots, Shoulders and Glove box unlocked at vendors and got a shirt from a Bandit loot chest box. I haven’t gotten leg gear, which is apparently only obtainable after Living World Season 2 Chapter 7, which I have now gotten knowing this info, but now I am confused how I have any other of these items.
