Guild Wars 2

So I just bought this game since it is only 30 bucks, and I got the heroic chest. I opened it and it gave me a choice of three armor sets? No other information was given to me other than the name of the sets and I have no idea what they mean. So i kind of just picked one randomly and it says I can’t even wear it. I’m warrior and I picked the krytan set? It’s apparently not wearable on my profession. Is there anyway I can maybe take it back and try again?

Contact support.

The three sets are at the Gem store. One light, one medium and one heavy. Maybe you should have researched a bit before picking.

They didn’t say armor type (light, medium, heavy)? Primeval is the heavy class armor skin, I think you’re stuck with what you have but you should be able to use on a different character

No it didn’t tell me what armor type it was, just the three names. I researched it and the medium armor I got is usable on my engineer. But it wont let me send it through mail? I can’t place the items in my the mail slot things. Anyone know how?

You should be able to place it in the bank (which is account shared) and transfer it that way.

Talk to a banker.

Normally I would agree that you should check what you’re buying/choosing before you get it. But for an item that’s specifically designed to be given to brand new players the first time they log on I think this really needs to be made clearer.

Other than the stuff your character starts with (which you don’t get to pick) this is very likely to be the first armor set a new player gets. Depending how much they’ve read about the game they might not even know there are different kinds of armor, or they might assume that the ones they’re offered are appropriate to their character so it wouldn’t surprise me if this mistake gets made a lot.

Ambience: You could give the Krytan set to any ranger, thief or engineer character (since they wear medium armor) by putting it in the bank (look for a yellow money bag icon in any city), or you could contact support and ask them to swap it for the Primeval set which your warrior could wear.
