Guild Wars 2

Is there a list of the PvP only skins or skins that are super expensive in PvE so I can make sure I craft them now? My rank is only in the 40s, highly doubt I can get to 50 before the 15th, so I’m not sure if I’m high enough rank to make anything worthwhile or not, but I still have over 100k glory to burn before the update. Thanks for any help!

100k glory, dont craft anything, at r40 you dont get anything good from craft, buy them in the vendor, cultural or dungeon sets.

Thanks, didn’t know if 40 was high enough for anything decent. I’ll probably just just buy tomes then, I’ve been a PvE’er for a while, so I have all the dungeon/karma/cultural armors I like the looks of and loathe leveling.

That’s the best you’re going to do at your rank or gamble the rest of your glory for phoenix tokens to get an icy dragon sword/runic blade (infinite light pve) or the corrupted weapon skins.

Those are the items I’m looking for, thanks!
Can I salvage items from the PvP mystery coffer for tokens above my rank? Never bought one so I don’t know what’s in it, but if I can get any item from it, I’ll buy some and try it out. Else, I’m not sure how I can get phoenix tokens.

there are 2 armour sets that aren’t available in pve

since you’re 40 there is also priory and vigil armour which you can only get if you do the personal story and pick their faction (people like the medium vigil leggings in particular because they’re super skimpy on female chars)

theres also the Paid tournament “super crits” (getting really really luck)
like Dwayna’s Longbow,
Magma’s Arm (which shares its skin with a legendary precursor)
Dwayna’s Shortbow (which also shares its skin with a legendary precursor)
and Lava Axe (same skin as ele conjure) etc.
(all of which worth hundreds of gold each)

if you have glory to burn and nothing to buy the make dyes, the prices have sky rocketed, you can start the new patch with plenty of gold to spend on unlocking traits and amulets :P

Dungeon armors you have x6 chances to salvage a bear/shark/phoenix/dragon token based on which dungeon armors you buy: Nightmare is Dragon/Furnace is Phoenix/etc.
edit: The above method is gambling because you can get no tokens from salvaging all 6.

I made the fiery gladius and dwayna shortbow. I don’t know if it was just luck or what, but it only took three tries for each. Pushing 20+ on the longbow now.

Is there somewhere to look all these super crit recipes up?

The dungeon armors… That certainly is a gamble, don’t think that’s for me.

Will all these pieces of gear be soulbound when the patch releases?

I recommend rank gear since you can just do reward tracks for any of the dungeon gear

Dang, guess I lucked out then. I had only two longbow tokens left and managed to craft Dwayna’s longbow on the second (and last) attempt.

Wasn’t so lucky salvaging a phoenix token. None from the 6 t2 cultural pieces I salvaged, and decided it wasn’t really worth wasting another 40k glory just for another chance at maybe getting a phoenix token that might yield a runic blade. Used my glory to buy enough tomes to fully level 4 alts instead.

I posted a rather lengthy post that has some tips regarding what to craft before the update in PvP:
