Guild Wars 2

While not technically a bug, the text on some items need to be updated and care needs to be taken so that future items don’t have this issue.

Two recent items (possibly more) found in Black Lion Chests have misleading descriptions which cause confusion for players. The Elemental Sword and Sworn Zaishen Helm Skin are both obtained via containers which are themselves contained in the Black Lion Chests. This two step process is awkward by itself, but is even more troublesome given the description of the containers, shown here, here, and below:

• Double-click to apply this look to any other sword. This will also unlock this skin for your wardrobe.
• Double-click to apply this appearance to your current helm. This will unlock the skin in your wardrobe.

Normally, when an account bound skin is obtained, the wardrobe skins are automatically unlocked. In these two cases, the player receives what appears to be the consumable skins (as per their descriptions), but the skins don’t unlock. If the player tries to right click the item, no unlocking nor application options are listed (given that they’re secretly containers). This disconnect leads to confusion, as can be seen in this anomaly note.

Solutions:

1. Update items 80918 and 81218 so that their descriptions accurately say they’re containers.
2. Ensure that future Black Lion Chest exclusive skins have separate descriptions for their Container and their Consumable versions.
