Guild Wars 2

I just finished fotm 49 and got my daily rewards, I’m not sure if this is intentional but I received the fractal trident as an exotic weapon instead of skin. I don’t really mind I’ll just be 1 Transmutation Crystal less but I thought the Fractal weapons are supposed to drop as skins only after the Fractured patch?

Please don’t reply about FOTM Skin Box from 51+ I’m talking about the RNG Fotm skins where you do not have the choice of what skin you want. Theres a reason why arenanet didn’t add FOTM Skin Box to their rewards page because it’s not in game yet so please stop with the Box comments I’m tired of explaining.

“This boss chest will also have a chance at containing a number of other rare rewards. As your fractal level increases, so do the odds of obtaining these items:

Fractal Weapon Skins (starting at level 10)"

Made a video just for this.

While odd to see that it has no stats;
" I don’t really mind I’ll just be 1 Transmutation Crystal less", may be why they exist.

There’s a post about this on the General Discussion forum too.

I wanted to make a bug thread about this, but I’m no longer allowed to make threads due to accumulation of infraction points.

I had the same thing when I received a Fractal Trident. I don’t know if it’s unique to Tridents or not, but we should try to gather more data.

I’ll double-check when I get home, but I’m pretty sure the Sword I got post-patch was a weapon and not a skin. I didn’t pay close attention to it, but I’m pretty sure it said nothing about double-click to apply to another weapon, which all the skins I’ve seen say.

edit: sorry, my bad. though from the screenshots you can see why I would think that (the tooltip looks nothing like previous skin tooltips) Greatsword is pre-patch, Sword is post-patch
