Guild Wars 2

Where do you find/buy weapon skins? I can find images of existing ones but I can’t find the skins in the gem store or anything.

Perhaps post the specific skin(s) you’re looking for and someone can help you. There are quite a few skins and quite a few ways to get them.

Some skins are no longer available on the gemstone as they were/are limited time only. Others are only available in the trading post for ridiculous prices because they are no longer available from the gem store or from the Blacklion weapon specialist. So you really have to be specific with which skin you are looking for to get more specific help.

Trading Post, Karma merchants, weaponsmiths, crafting — wiki may help narrow down what you’re looking for.

Or from personal story rewards if you’re in the priory.

• Use the Wardrobe at any bank NPC to help you find the skin (and it’s name). Note that you can also preivew how the skin will appear on your character before going any farther.
• Use the wiki to find the specific skin and how to obtain the skin should be available there.
• If I’m not mistaken, the dulfy.net site you got those images from has a DETAILS table below each weapon images that tell you where to get them (and how much they cost).

People should learn how to read. And use google.

For cryin out loud, you even have the name of the weapon in link you posted

Note: You automatically unlock the skin of the gear you equip. Even if you can’t equip it (wrong class etc), you can still unlock it by right-clicking the gear and clicking Unlock Skin. This will bind the gear to your account, but the skin is now unlocked forever.

This can be useful if you find gear for the wrong class you really like (by clicking Preview), and if you don’t intend to keep it for another char or sell it on the TP. Even low-level gear can look good.
