After this Living Story is over, will it still be possible to acquire Assault Knight Power Cores for the Ascended Spinal Blades Backpiece?
(I mean from an alternate boss fight and not the Black Lion Trading Post.)
I havent managed to loot any, and I was concerned that I may not be able to complete the backpiece I have been working on.
This is old conceptual art for the Sylvari during their first pass, when they were still more or less elves with leaf-hair.
You can see some similar designs in their old promo video:

This was considered inefficient for what the artists were trying to convey, so the design wasnt used anymore when the Sylvari were upgraded to the versions we have now, more plant than human.

The assets werent completely scrapped, though, so its still possible to see pieces of this older armor on town npcs in The Grove, or your home instance.
I dont think it was ever was meant to be acquirable.
Gonna bump this thread out of curiosity, too.
Currently looking for this skin.
