Guild Wars 2

I’ve heard a few people mentioning something called cultural armour. I’m a level 43 warrior, and my gear kind of stinks, so I’m looking for upgrades.

How do I get this armour? Are there requirements? Is it for gold or for karma? Where do I buy it?

Thanks!

You get it from your races main city Black Citadel for Charr, Div. Reach for Humans, Holbraek for Norn etc.
Look on the map and you should see a bright blue armor smith icon. Thats the cultural vendor. They are purchased with gold. Tier 1(35) is roughly 1 gold 40s and Tier 2(60) is like 5gold something. Tier 3(80) i forget but its like anywhere from 5-20g per piece.

The prices he posted for each tier are the approx. price to buy the entire set, each piece is a fraction of the number’s he listed (Tier 1 would be about 20-40 silver each, in total 1 gold 40 silver).

Also cultural armor has a really cool appearance, relevant to your race rather than your profession (I.E. Sylvari have thick leaf/plant based cultural armor).

Cultural weapons can also be found in your cities, however they can be bought by any race and cost Karma. They tend to have a unique appearance and very high stats. Tier 1 is around 10k karma per weapon and Tier 3 is around 70k karma per weapon. I don’t know Tier 2’s prices.
