Guild Wars 2

This is getting annoying, here is what I came up with:

Twilight Arbor armor set: It has Rampager’s stats, which I cant justify. But this is imo by far really the best looking armor.

CoE, CoF, Arah armor, they all look like kitten to me, although they have the right stats.

Then there’s the named sets. Nika’s Armor has the right stats, but comes with Runes of Infiltration, which I don’t really want.

I used this list to browse armor: http://www.gw2armor.com/human/male/medium_list.php
And yes, I am a human male.

So far it looks like my best shot is to craft the gear myself, and then transmute it into Twilight Arbor armor, but that’s just a major waste to achieve my goal.

What can I do to get a nice looking level 80 exotic set with runes of my choosing?
There may be something I missed.

CoF is easy to get since path 1 and 2 are quite easy and fast. If you really like TA looking you can always get it and transmute your CoF gear to look like TA.
The runes you can change them, so not a big deal…a cheap and great option is to use Ruby Orbs…that’s better than the runes from dungeon sets. Otherwise Scholar if you feel like spending 20-30g.

Use Ruby orbs for now till you can afford the runes or grind enough tokens.

I bought a full set of the following piece and added the Ranger runeset:

Tyr’s set would be the logical choice, I just don’t like the looks.

Sleepy, your idea is also what I ended up with, but it’s a major grind, as i would need both dungeon armors. (But i’d do it) – How do you just “change the runes” though?

You just apply another rune and it will erase the old one.

About the grind, you’ll get the sets before you realize it, and doing CoF also gives you good money now that dungeons are more rewarding.
The only choices are either doing dungeons and get the gear stats wise that you want and then transmute it to whatever you want it to look like…or buy from TP the stats you want (some pieces will be more expensive than others)…or craft it which will be pretty much the same as buying the pieces directly.

Thanks for the response (I didn’t know you could just overwrite a rune )

And yes, i’ll get through the dungeons, already ran all paths, so I guess I’m started already. CoF transmuted into TA armor it is! – Random last question. If i take the stats from CoF gear, and the looks of TA armor, what will the name of the gear be?

Edit: Nevermind, i figured it out. Just transmuted the first item. Damn TA boots looks ugly without the rest of the set
