Vigil Equipment Guide, is this bugged?

[Xyngynkynyn.8741]

What exactly does Vigil Equipment Guide do? The page makes it sound like it will unlock the skins of the Vigil, and I did see those green alerts above the map at the lower left of the screen saying things were unlocked but when I go to the wardrobe, I don't see any new Vigil skins in the weapons or armor. Nothing in the achievements either.

Is this bugged or am I missing something?

It unlocks the collection so you can see how many of the viigl armor skins and weapon skins you have unlocked.

 

It dont unlock any of said skins you have to buy them from the same guy for gold if you want armor skins.

 

Weapons you can either buy or get 1 per character you join the vigil on the end of lvl20 personal story.

All items for this collection can be purchased from vendors in the Vigil Headquarters, personal story rewards, or achievement rewards.

 

•  Vigil Weapon Container from the level 30 personal story.

Thanks for clarifying that @Linken.6345 but BOO on this. The official wiki page needs this clarification.
Thanks again.

P.S. What a waste of 50 silver

Yes but that last line can seem to newb (or one who has returned after many years) that the skins were being unlocked and not an achievement tracker. The phrase "unlocks the Vigil's Honor collection" seems to say that everything in the collection will be unlocked. The phrasing is ambiguous if not downright misleading.

So you think a 50 silver book would unlock a collection with 107 gold worth of skins 100%?

Why would the vendor even sell the weapons and armor skins then since you can use transmutation charges to change any weapon/armor to that skin?

Because the buyer may want the actual armor/weapon instead of the skin?

The skin itself isn't useful without an item. If the person bought the helmet for example for the sole purpose of using that skin on another helmet, then what use is the original helmet's exorbitant price because that helm's about to be trashed after the skin unlocks?

Why would a level 80 want to buy expensive rare armors/weapons to wear?
