Guild Wars 2

If you want to get those cool soul bound warrior shoulders as a guardian, just make a
warrior, buy a lvl11 fine chain shoulder from the market, and transmute it with the
warrior scale shoulders. Now the shoulders are account bound, and your guardian can
wear them and look cool as soon as lvl11.

I say this because the warrior scale shoulders look a lot cooler than the chain shoulders.

The guardian shoulders are way better than that and can actually be used with higher end armor since most of the later stuff is actual plate compared to chain/scale.

Or… you could just buy/craft a pair of scale shoulders and trasmute them onto whatever you want. The shoulders in the picture are the same as for the scale armor set which are crafted at crafting lvl 75 and wearable at lvl 25 (or whatever lvl you find shoulders to transmute them to).

No, the scale shoulders you can craft at 75 look completely different. It covers only
one shoulder and looks extremely ugly.

In my personal taste, the guardian shoulders you start with, are butt ugly, and I
really wouldn’t use them at any level.

But then again, taste is completely subjective.

i saw a character with the starting Guardian shoulders PLUS the helm. he definitely looked Guardianesque and had a certain aura about him. : )))

You are obviously looking at something completely wrong. Here’s the crafting 75 set: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Scale_armor

It’s the exact same shoulders.
