Guild Wars 2

So, I currently am at level 69 with my charr warrior, I have a level 32 asura mesmer, and I’m curious to know; how hard is it to get the 119 gold needed for the T3 cultural items?
Also, is it worth it? Or will the dungeon armors end up better in the end?

All gear of the same level, rarity and prefix are exactly the same. The only reason to pick one over the other if the look. Cultural armor is only rare whereas lv80 dungeon armor is exotic. Exotic is better than rare.

There are few is any people who actually get cultural armor for the stats. It’s mostly for the look.

Let’s add that what is generally done, is to buy the cultural armor and transmute it on an exotic one. Thus you can have the skin of the cultural and still the stats of an exotic. This is done using a Transmutation Crystal because it is level 80 stuff.

About raising the money, it depends how much you play and how much farming you can handle. Some argue that it would take a week of Citadel of Flames farming, but it is quite mind-numbing. Playing normally, well, that should take about one to three months, depending on how much you are willing to sell crafting materials you find. I don’t, so I am not even close to that kind of money.

To add further …

119 gold is for the full set. Many players do not buy the entire T3 set, but only certain pieces. Mixing cultural (from all tiers) with armour from other sources (crafted, faction, dungeons, PS rewards, etc) makes for a more unique look.
