[Suggestion] Barefoot?

So we all know Queen Jenna likes to feel the ground beneath her feet, but what about us players who like to go barefoot? Would be neat if we could hide our boots. We can already hide gloves, shoulder and helmets.

Wish we'd have gotten that, but instead they added the Invisible Boot Box.

we have a solution alreadyhttps://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Invisible_Boot_Box

My ranger was barefoot in the first game for years - so maybe they could put the old 'druid' armour in the store? :)

Ah, I was unaware of the invisible boot box. I haven't fought one of those mushrooms yet because everytime someone calls one out on the map and I reply "WAIT I'M COMING I NEED IT", by the time I get there, even if it's right by a WP, they've killed it...

Oh well. I guess its presence means we won't get a barefoot option but at least there's something. And it's not locked behind a paywall either - though I guess it could be considered as such as you need access to Verdant Brink...

That was asked for multiple times. ANet’s answer is invisible boots you can’t craft and with an abysmal drop rate so that it’s not something you can readily get.

Slashed about 2,500 - 3,000 shrooms without drop.

Before Invisible shoes were added: "Why is Queen Jenna barefoot? Is she too poor to afford shoes?"After Invisible shoes were added: "Only rich people can afford to go barefoot!" (It all makes perfect sense now...).

I would love to have a toggle instead of an unaffordable 2799g 99s 99c pair of invisible slippers. The current set can only be afforded by the Emperor. ;)Or make the invisible boots/stompers/slippers much more affordable. Max 50 gold I would suggest.

You can readily get slippers from TP :wink: :https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Invisible_Slippers

1) there’s all of 5 on the trading post. Unless you’re arguing that 5 slippers is enough to supply everyone who wants invisible shoes then it’s not readily available.2) the lowest price is 2800 gold. Unless you’re arguing that that’s a price that’s easily available to all who want to buy these slippers then it’s not readily available.

I see where you're coming from but you're not quite correct with terminology."Readily available" would mean if logged into the game right now on a brand new acc, could I get them? The answer is - Yes. Sure I'd need a bit of gold, but that technically can be done in a couple of minutes via bank card and conversion of gems to gold. Now if they were account bound, that would be a different story.Just saying that there are no barriers to access this item, just a price which some might not be prepared to pay.Now this isn't to say that this item is always readily available, but right now it is.

And I say you’re not correct either as I’m talking readily available for the playerbase. Not just the ones that have sufficient disposable income to convert money to gold and who are one of the very few that can buy before the supply drops to zero or prices skyrocket.

Readily available means it’s within the reach of the average player through a low enough drop rate or buying/crafting. It’s not readily available when it’s a luxury item for the very few. Everything is “readily available” when you have enough money.

The usual solution for going barefoot is surely to remove your boots?

Fair enough, I don't disagree it's a luxury - although this was clearly not specified in your first post.High price =/= unavailable.

And I didn’t say high prices means it’s unavailable. I didn’t say anything at all about price in my first post. I said in my first post it’s not readily available due to abysmal drop rate and and not craftable.

Getting invisible slippers for 2800+ gold or getting the barefoot tribal walkers for free from WvW?

Light armor PvErs are in such a pickle, lol. Well, medium and heavy are fucked.

apparently barefoot in gw2 costs $3000...here in real life... prada costs $3000

If you really want a barefoot character and don't want to buy invisible boots or try for a drop make sure you check out the armour galleries on the Wiki and the Wardrobe preview in-game carefully because there might be other options.

• For example if you've got a light armoured character there's the Tribal shoes, or on sylvari the Orchid boots which are actually just a vine around their legs.
• On medium (or even heavy) armour you might be able to combine slim boots with trousers that cover most of them and dye the bottoms to match your characters skin colour (especially on charr and asura where their toes often poke through).
• Or if you're in an area of the game where you can afford the stat drop you could simply remove them. I think most PvE stuff would be possible to complete without shoes if you really wanted to.

Just to counter the "you can use your credit card so it's available" argument: 2800g would currently cost €180.

So yeah technically, you can buy it, but practically speaking no, you can't.

Don't worry, I have a friend who's been farming it every day for years and never got a drop. :) It's rare like a precursor. It's easier to farm Gold elsewhere and buy it from TP. In my opinion it's not worth thousands of Gold but then again, I'm not fond of the idea of being barefoot... It's okay for Queen jennah in her throne room but kind of silly during exploring... :P

The invisible footwear are one of the worst examples of RNG use, ever.They are denying the vast majority of players the access to something that doesn't even require an artist work, something that by all logic should be simply a basic toggle, making it super rare, super expensive, a cause of debate, community infighting and obsessive behavior.As a social experiment about the value of digital products, its brilliant. As a GW2 content, is garbage, uncomfortably close to a scam. It's just wrong.Please stop it, Anet. It's your right to do it, no doubt, but IMO a decent company should be above this kind of jokes.

Go to Bloodstone Fen. The treasure mushroom there is much easier to find. It's almost straight down from the airship, and the foes around it are (usually) much easier to deal with than the Mordrem (partly because they are less numerous).

Your comment about real money to gold conversion does not support your statement that, "practically speaking, no you can't," buy the item.

Will do when I'm there. I'm only at Auric Basin now in the story. Holding off on going further as I'm waiting on my friend catching up.
