Kintsugi Raptor is is one I will probably get from the freebie. I think it looks great. In any case, how "flashy" mounts look can greatly depend on how they're dyed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've now added a select licence for the first mount pack as well. But I did get one of those, because the select licence is new so I hadn't bought any of them yet and there's still some I wanted. (Not as many as when it first came out, because I've got similar skins from other packs now.) Edited September 1, 2022 by Danikat.8537 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibson.4036 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I’m fascinated by the Kintsugi mounts, though I totally see why they would be more niche. They don’t glow, and they’re kinda high concept. I do think the design of the Raptor works better. It has more color variation in the ceramic with it’s standard dye set, and the gold that springs out of the Jackal makes it a little stranger. I found one video with the Jackal ceramic dyed a deep, imperial red, that made me say, “Oooh!” out loud. Now I’m second guessing my decision to choose a skyscale skin! The Kitsugi mounts live in a great place of being fancy without having to glow. Ugh. Decision paralysis! 😄 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kharmin.7683 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I mainly use my skyscale and jackal, so the choice for me was rather limited. I didn't want a free skin for a mount that I hardly use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means skyscale and jackal, but I also use my gryphon quite a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browsing at the selection, some of them look basic compared to the others, which implies that some of them were harder to get when they were available. Wanted to ask if any of you know which ones in the selection are particularly rare since I might go for them. Right now I'm prioritizing the warclaw as I like to WvW a lot and still have a basic mount skin, but I'm open to choose a different one. Thanks, fam! I mean rare by gem store rotation? Rare by players? Stock mount skins are quite rare since most people use different kinds of flashy mount skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pallas.8150 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I'll echo that the 'boring' skins are going to be the most rare - most (though not all, mind you) players prefer flash and spectacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pick what you want. Ended up choosing the geode warclaw. Thanks guys! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
