Guild Wars 2

Please explain to me townclothes. Can I wear them outside towns and still fight monsters effectively? Or will wearing townclothes remove all my attributes?

You automatically switch back to armor when you take damage or get in water.

You can also hit your weapon swap key to swap out of your town clothes quickly into the last weapon set you had equipped before you put town clothes on. Yes, even if you are an Elementalist (as am I).

I hot keyed shift-z to toggle my town/fighting clothes quickly, and I can either hit shift-z before going into combat, or `.

i like to ride my broom through high level zones until something hits me,
i got all the way to Orr before i had to stop.

You can wear town clothes anywhere, but they disappear when you take damage. Silly way for ANet to set it up. :/

Why? They’re town clothes…as in…clothes you can wear in town. Not in the field. Then they’d be field clothes

But we can still take damage in towns…

And then you get to put your armor on!
