Guild Wars 2

Just bought the game yesterday and began my first character (a warrior). When opening my initial in-game mails, one was an option to select the legacy armor. Either I did not pay attention to the options or it wasn’t clear, but I ended up selecting light armor. This is (obviously) no use to my warrior.

Did I completely screw the pooch on this?

My wife did the same thing, but picked heavy instead of light. Not sure if anything can be done though.

Do I get legacy armor for each new character, or was this my one and only chance? Thanks for answering, btw.

I have no idea, she hasn’t rolled an alt, although is thinking about it.

My guess would be to submit a ticket under account issues, or search there for an answer to this questions. I am going to do the same. I’ll let you know if I find anything,

I believe it to be your one and only chance at selecting and acquiring the free legacy armor.

Also, you did not miss anything. It does not state that each armor is for a different weight and this has been pointed out to them as having caused this same issue many, many times.

Unfortunately, support is unlikely to offer the skin for the desired armor weight class were you to file a ticket requesting it.

The only thing you can really do is purchase the desired legacy armor you actually want for 500 gems and save that light armor to apply for free later on if you happen to create a light armor character down the road (or apply via charges after those are used since they are unlocked in your wardrobe you can then use that skin on any character that can wear that weight).

@Kapps

I submitted a ticket under account issues (Legacy Armor). Although it may be unlikey to get the desired weight, it doesn’t hurt to try. Try adding your experience there as well and perhaps we can get an offical response on the matter.

Indeed, it doesn’t hurt to try. I wish a positive outcome to the tickets for you both.

Victory!!

I think this is where she was referring to as well:
