Guild Wars 2

I just started playing the sPvP part of the game and it is a lot of fun! Now that i have reached rank 3, I am noticing the reward satchel contains random pvp armor for each tier I unlock. Is this the only way to get better pvp gear?

This makes me sad no post here….I want to know too how to get better gear… im almost rank 10 and have no clue…

There isn’t “better” gear. Everyone has the same options for gear stats from the start. All of the PvP gear is cosmetic upgrades only. If you want to change gear, go to the vendors in Mists and get new runes and a new amulet to customize yourself.

Structured PvP is specifically structured so that everyone is equal and no one has an advantage because they’ve played longer or something. World vs World uses your regularly obtained gear, so if you want a PvP experience where you can get better gear that is your best bet.

Yep, no better stats gear, just better looking gear that u can get from bags or craft with mats in the myst close to the tournament npc, u can buy the mats from the npc vendor and salvage the gear u dont use or that u have doubled.

This is all true, but also… higher ranks in PvP do allow you to purchase higher “ranked” gear sets (different cosmetic gear) from the vendors. Actually, you purchase loot bags and open them up for random pieces of cosmetic gear.

In sPvP all gear has equal stats. This is not true in PvE and WvWvW.
