Bioluminescent, Bloodstone and God of War weapon skins

[CoelhoAzul.5940]

Hi there! Yesterday, I tried outfitting my Thief with daggers that would fit her look. While searching for them, I came across these three sets, but alas, no way to buy them, unless I'm willing to spend copious amounts of gold, which a) I don't have and b) I don't want to spend.I don't understand why some sets are available and others are no longer attainable by players who weren't here when some events ran. Are these three sets ever coming back? Could they come back now? Why not have all of these and others always available? I'm sure I'm not the only one wanting them and I would gladly pay gems for them.Thanks!

Black Lion Weapon Sets cycle in and out of the Weapons Specialist.
They may show up in upcoming Black Lion Chests, they may show up for Black Lion Statuettes, can be available for Black Lion Weapon Tickets, or almost always available on the Trading Post.

And, as Guaranteed Weapon Unlocks, as well.

Specifically...

“I would gladly pay gems for them.”

Well, if you are willing to buy gems for them... Buy gems and convert those gems to gold, then buy the weapon skins you want?

Recently they're no longer rotating many weapon skins back in, for example Lovestruck and Devoted weapons didn't return this year. It'll only be feasble to buy them with gold for maybe another year before the prices become insurmountable.

To maintain supply & demand you have to bring things back sometimes, because low supply will destroy demand.

[Eloc Freidon.5692]

When the sets get put back into the Black Lion chest, their gold value drops. Sometimes lower than 20G each for certain sets that have returned to the BLC multiple times.

This is the only way you're going to get them at their cheapest.

Interestingly it seems they're significantly slowed on adding new BLC weapons. Most recent weapon sets are from Living World.

Definately appreciated the designs and such creative contents. In stark contrast, less of those color flipping whole range of weapons please.

Total cost 1165 gold buy order, 2028 gold sell order.Yes, they suuure are cheap [/sarcasm]

Hint: there seems to be some massive price difference between different weapons for some reasons, some types are indeed really cheap, but not all. Bloodstone Axe Skin alone is 287 gold buy 594 gold sell order. Daggers - which is what OP specifically wanted - are moderately priced, but i still would not call 85 gold buy 120 gold sell order to be exactly cheap. Also, remember - not everyone is a veteran with few thousans gold in the bank.

a single legendary is near 3k.

this a premium skinset, for 1k gold is too generous, most mmos are by far more greed with their premium skins.

and theres no need for entire skin set, premium skins are almost for "fashion" purposes, i doubt anyone can play with every weapon on this game.
