Guild Wars 2

My character dual wields swords and I was wondering if there is a directory of sorts for the various swords and sword skins so that I can decide upon one and work towards it? At the moment it is super hard to know the various and obscure weapons and skins and I want to decide upon a skin before hand so that I can work towards it.

The Guild Wars 2 swords directory is VERY incomplete and is no where near the number of options in the game.

On an unrelated note I really enjoy the role-playing capabilities of MMOs and I like to make my characters as cool and realistic as possible. Are there any cool yet realistic swords straight metal swords other than the really bad starting skins?

Thank You For Your Help!

Log on, and go to your Bank or a Crafting Station. Click on the Wardrobe button, and then choose weapons > swords. It’ll show every available sword skin in the game.

By my count there’s more swords in the Wiki gallery (175) then in the in-game wardrobe (108) which means some skins are actually repeated.

But RoseofGilead is right. The wardrobe shows every skin in-game so that’s the best place to check, especially because you can use the preview function to see it on your character.

Although I like using the wiki galleries for a quick side-by-side comparison to narrow the options down.

For a straight, metal, realistic sword I’d suggest looking at Bonetti’s Rapier, the Ceremonial Sabre or Unspoken Curse.

Dulfy site has a good database of almost any weapon skin in the game. It also includes the information on how to obtain them.

Here is also a nice gallery if you just want to see all those skins on one screen :
