Guild Wars 2

Having been browsing the forums and seeing the “Let’s see your profession” screenshots I have noticed people’s characters wearing tons of different looking armor and gear all the way from level 20-80. My main character is level 30 but looks like I still have the starting gear. Can anyone explain how to get these armor skins or explain how other peoples characters got these awesome looking gear/armors at such low levels? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Use basic or fine (for level 80) transmutation stones, available from daily rewards, map completion, black lion chest (or possibly other sources).

so i could get level 80 gear and transfer its looks to my level 30 gear?

I just hit lvl 70 this evening and up to this point I have only had one half decent looking armour set. I am pretty much only doing pve which I assume may be the issue, perhaps doing dungeons and wvwvw is the way forward.

Personally though I wouldn’t get too hung up on armour when levelling, you out grow it quite quickly. Save your time and effort once you get to 80.

Think you need the high end transmutation stone for lvl 80 gear, and it needs to be of a similar type ie heavy armour boots transmuted with heavy armour boots.

heres an example of a warrior i saw earlier

thanks for the info/feedback

you can get a lot of different skins from the renown hearts that turn to karma vendors after you complete them. I think around lvl 30 is where you start to get more variety than the 3 basic beginer styles. You can then transmute the skins to different gear to get the stats you want.

Yeah looks sweet, I haven’t had anything like that since I started. Haven’t been looking though tbh.

I think the armor in that pic is crafted. you can buy the pattern for karma from the master craftsman. It can be made in almost any level with almost any stat.

Someone posted on one of the threads earlier that you can open your “Hero” tab and go to the Mists (pvp area). From there on the east side is the PvP Lockers. From the lockers, you preview every armor / weapon set in the game on any of toons you take there.

^^^ this is what i do a lot of. lol, and try to find the same armor in PvE. note, they will have different names. you can also check out the line of vendors at Fort Mariner’s (sp?) WP in Lion’s Arch. they sell the different dungeon armors and some are pretty cool as well.

just another quick tip re: transmutating armors / weapons even. basic transmutation stones for anything level 79 and below. you’ll need fine transmutation stones so long as one item you’re trying to transmutate is lvl 80. and also, you can’t have the item currently equipped while transmutating. so you have to uneuip it, trans, then equip again.

good luck finding the armor that suits you and that you looking foward to sporting everytime you log in!

Thanks for posting this!!
I pass though the Mists area all the time (free travel to LA …), but don’t do PvP so never knew where the PvP Lockers are located …

I’m lvl 77 and been having a tough time finding human female medium armour I like…

When you arrive in the mists, turn right for the lockers
