Guild Wars 2

I’ve never played PvP, but I heard that it is easier to craft a runic blade in PvP. Just curious if I could have spent my money elsewhere.

Crafting in PvP was removed with the latest patch.

For a Runic blade you needed a phoenix token if im not mistaken ,which means you had to be rank 70+ in order to make one.
I made mine in pve as well and its my favorite weapon atm, i dont regret spending a penny. In fact i was considering making a 2nd one but then this patch came out.

and it isn’t even guaranteed. you would probably end up getting a pile of the other skins before the runic blade skin.
