Guild Wars 2

The Sylvari Tier 1 cultural weapons in the Grove are Asura, while the Asura Tier 2 cultural weapons in Rata Sum are Sylvari. It’s been like this for several weeks now.

Several months. I’ve never seen the ‘Sylvari Tier 1’ or ‘Asura Tier 2’ cultural weapons actually sold at any point.

This is a moot point in any case, sylvari T1and asuran T2 are both verdant skinned weapons (plant themed) and the opposites both use the glyphic weapon skins as I recall… In any event, all the T1 and T2 cultural weapon skins are available as drops from their race’s respective regions, and since sylvari and asura are both basically in the maguuma jungle region, it makes some sense that their t1 and t2 weapons would be set up as such.
For reference, human T1 weapons use the Krytan skin found as blue-green drops and t2 uses the Aureate theme found only as rares afaik, similar with charr’s steam (t1) and flame (t2) skins and Norn’s Norn (t1..i think) and Shiverpeaks (t2, this is probably wrong b/c i never paid much attention to norn culture weapons).
Only the Tier 3 weapon skins are unique to the Race and do not drop, can not be traded or bought off karma vendors outside their race’s main city(anymore, at release there were some holdover early karma vendor skins from beta, but these are long gone).

In game at Teir 1 sylvari vendor now: I just came to check out what options were available for my new alt Sylvari Ranger, If I am not lucky enough to get a drop of a sylvari long bow by lvl35 Ill be bummed I cant buy one. From what I read the skin is in Tier 2 Asura vendor, but does that mean I cant get at lvl 35?

Or, could it get fixed?

Still broken though, and going on a year now.

some T3 have same skins as dungeon weapons too with slightly diff coloration.

It’s not but, it is like it should be. Inimicus explained already why is it like this. Both races starts in maguuma jungle and that’s why their culture is mixed up.
