Q:

How can I get them nowadays? Been farming Silverwastes and having no luck … :\
Tried to look in the wiki, and I saw that they’re a reward from some living story, so if thats the only way to gain them them: How much time does it take, how much gems will it cost me and which one do I have to buy?

Thanks in advance….

A:

How much time does it take?: About an hour.
How much gems will it cost me and which one do I have to buy?: You’ll need the “Seeds of Truth”, it is the 7th episode, and think it cost 200 gems to buy it.

I believe each episode is 200 gems, with some discount if you buy them all. See this wiki page for exactly which episode you need for the pants:

How long it takes depends on whether you wipe or not. No Refuge is widely regarded as the absolute hardest segment of Living Story. It helps to have a group, even if you aren’t going for the achieves. I’d say the whole thing takes well under an hour if there are no wipes. You have one large battle fight, maybe ten minutes? And a boss fight, another ten? And all the unskippable dialogues surrounding the fights. But if you are chewing glass and dying repeatedly, as I did my first time in there, it can take much longer.

Keep in mind that whoever starts the instance will be playing as Caithe, with her skill bar, not as their own alt. Group mates keep their own skills. If you aren’t the one who starts the instance, make sure you have that episode active in your story.

An hour if I start “Seeds of Truth” from scratch?

It’s actually not that difficult if you aren’t going for achievements. If you are going for achievements then knowing the mechanics helps a lot. A full party is not ideal due to scaling. Two is fine though.

Engineers also get stuck with unusable kits even if they aren’t playing as Caithe unless they’ve fixed that.
