As Ignis mentioned in the comments: Luminescent armor (Living world season 2) is kind of out of place here as the achievements can be quite hard to complete. Apologies for that one!
With the recent change to dungeon tokens being unified, it's pretty easy to farm together the tokens needed for a full set. Just make sure you fulfill the minimum required "runs" needed in the dungeon of your choice to unlock the items to be available for purchase. Gather the tokens in your fav dungeon, it's pretty easy to find a group for most now with the influx of hordes of new steam players.
Oh absolutely, I love that change! I remember wanting to run Arah as a newbie because I had to have the heavy set from the dungeon... I had no idea what was going on in there XD Now though it's a lot better and I kinda like how you still have to meet the requirements just so you don't miss out on the story of the dungeons. Else everyone would just spam Ascalonian catacombs without seeing the rest ^^
No no no no no no It does not beat previewing each single piece in the bank while in game. For me as a veteran, that's literally what I call shopping. Once I get the things I want, then open wiki and read the acquisition tabs on each piece XD Fashion wars 2 is the greatest end game of all end game games
ah, Fashion Wars, the true endgame! Keeping in the idea of being acessible: there's an entire set you can buy (with actually good stats) from both Malchor's Leap meta (temple of balthazar) and Cursed Shore from their karma vendors. My Melandru light armor set carried me from fresh lvl 80 to fractals and wvw lvl 50 or so. Not a lot of dmg but I never died ever which is great when an entire 20 squad throw all their stuff at you lol - and looking good doing so!
Imo, for the preview armor sets, I like it better when I get to SEE the actual armor piece on my personal character. Gives better references if it looks good.
It's hard to make a saber class servant in this game because most heavy sets are not very cute. But if you want to go around asking of random people if they are your master, the banded set already fits the bill. And it's practically free.
I wouldn't really call some of these sets easy to get. For Luminescent, you need to clear all achievements from two chapters of LS2, and do the silverwastes meta several times (while making sure you're gathering the organs). Like you said, it's not hard per se, but it is a decent time commitment. Getting crafted armour would also be a hassle for someone just starting out. It's a decent commitment of gold and time if you don't have the disciplines maxed.
Season 2 is janky in so many ways that getting all the achi's is a pain. I gave up on them long ago so now there's a bunch of nearly finished luminescent collections stuck at the top of my basic collections achi's ....
I was hesitant to add the luminescent, there IS a reason I haven't completed the achievements yet myself so I will admit that one isn't too easy to get, mainly added that one for completionist sake I suppose. So you're right, luminescent is kind of out of place!
@@embreis2257 Nothing done to the graphics after recording, this is how my game looks standard with the shaders. They're not flawless though, some character portraits look downright evil at times hah! But for these videos, I love them. And screenshots look pretty neat too ^^
Love your videos!. Wish someone would make a more recent video showing off the cultural sets, all the ones that are out there are from 9-10 years ago and have lower video quality.
Thank you so much! I assume you mean an in depth showcase of all the cultural sets? It was something that crossed my mind while making this video. Hmm...
I got the Angler's Vest (bought at Fishing Hamlet, South-east Shing Jea island). For pants I use the Elonian Leggings and then my weapon is a staff that looks like a fishing pole called Still Waters Fishing Rod, from Bjora Marches. Good luck and happy adventuring!
It would be better if you showed the map in wide angle first and then see where we can buy it. I don't know maps well and it is difficult to understand from close angles.
thank you so much for pointing out the cultural armor! The level 60 armor is affordable and can be transformed over my level 80 exotics. Sweet! I especially love the sylvari armor on my necro. Picked up a few pieces for my asura and human too.
If I would have known this… I wouldn’t have spent 35 gold on my Marauder’s exalted. I would have worked to get the Itzel language mastery…. Thank you for this video.
"[...] easy sets to get [...]". "You just got 80 [...]" - yeah, who doesn't know this: you just got 80 and you have a small loan of one million gold just lying around in your inventory waiting to be used for fashion purposes.
Thank you for the comment! Yes, gold can be pretty difficult to come by, especially if you're new. Which is why I'm happy that the karma and dungeon sets don't cost any gold and can be farmed endlessly. The lower tier cultural sets are pretty cheap to start you off with as well! Other than that, there are some pretty good gold guides on youtube if you fancy more expensive sets ^^
A lot of these sets barely cost any gold aside from T3 Cultural Armors. What a weird complaint. Are we even playing the same game? 1-2 gold is more than enough to make yourself a cool looking budget set especially if you're using dungeon armors
@@tingispingis so basically you are saying a set shown in this video for let's say 1 gold per piece * 6 pieces = 1 or 2 gold ?! listen, man. I was bad at math class but are we talking the same metrics here?

Okay this actually made me chuckle, as a fellow veteran that finds himself doing this, from now on I will call it shopping too xD
that trick with the wiki was really nice, thanks.
Glad I could help.
Happy adventuring my friend!
final bonus tip was a life saver, thank you so much!
@@smokyx Glad I could help you out.

It's amazing how many people have fun just collecting cool outfits tbh, I love it!
Dude this is an excellent video, thanks so much
Glad I could help, happy adventuring my friend!
Thanks for this as a free to play player it's a great help❤ please make more videos like this
Glad I could help, I will do my best!
Happy adventuring!

Yeah luminescent armor is not easy, especially if you're playing solo. Some of the achievements actually really tough without a group.

So you're right, luminescent is kind of out of place!
If you want to go for fractals in the long run, I don't reccomend the carma skins as you are gonna drop those anyway
you can buy cultural set ao WvW for reduced price, but cost some wvw marks, they are like 10g there
Aye! Prices are half the original price which is awesome if you have some wvw marks really ^^
it's literally explained in the video you're watching.
you should definitely not be spending your wvw tickets on cultural armor!
@@cretos04 It's not the tickets you spend, but rather the badges. You get plenty of those anyway.
@@traxahn ah yes badges are nbd
How and why is your game looking so sharp? Are you using reshade or ?
Hi!
I am indeed using Reshader to increase the intensity on the colours.
@@Doublezone all done ingame or do you crank up the colours and contours in post-production to make it look even nicer?

Hmm...
@@Doublezone yes exactly, something up-to-date showing them off, going about acquiring, maybe even some lore behind the designs.
You can always preview those sets at the vendors in the capital cities to see what they would look like on your character.
@@unimatrixblue You can even preview it in every wardrobe storage as long as your character is the appropriate race.
Love GW2 one of the best if not the best mmo out there....nc video buddy
Thank you my friend, glad you like it!
It's definitely my number one mmorpg for several reasons, not without its flaws but personally my best
Wow thank you for this!
Happy to help!
Great video, useful even for veterans like me
Thank you my friend. Getting a response like this from another veteran hits differently, glad I could help!
Whats the skins that you were using at the end of video, while fishing on your sylvari. 😅
Thanks in advance.
I got the Angler's Vest (bought at Fishing Hamlet, South-east Shing Jea island).
For pants I use the Elonian Leggings and then my weapon is a staff that looks like a fishing pole called Still Waters Fishing Rod, from Bjora Marches.
Good luck and happy adventuring!

How to get Striders Set ?
The strider's set is from the Black lion market!
@@Doublezone Then I must waiting :/
thank you so much for pointing out the cultural armor! The level 60 armor is affordable and can be transformed over my level 80 exotics. Sweet! I especially love the sylvari armor on my necro. Picked up a few pieces for my asura and human too.
Happy I could help you my friend, enjoy your new looks!
well made video :)
Thank you so much, hope it was helpful!
Bladed armor is the goat‼️
It is SO cool, I remember wanting it so bad when HoT launched...
If I would have known this… I wouldn’t have spent 35 gold on my Marauder’s exalted. I would have worked to get the Itzel language mastery…. Thank you for this video.
Aah the feeling of regret, I know it all too well!
Hope I could help you out for the future though! ^^
Good video.
I'm glad you liked it. Happy adventuring!
Reshade ?
Yes!
fasion does not equal sets.
Fashio is, and has always been combining armor pieces :)
100% agree! I usually take a core piece and try to theme around it 😁
Ice encasement outfit is the best armor
I absolutely loved that one when it released!
Cool weapons ?
There are a bunch! Got some videos on some achievement weapons already ^^
Fashion Wars 2.....i only use skirts for my characters. All female. "😝
Female human meta for a reason 😅
Bro i hate light armors, is so worst, dont like any of then
Armor sets are prob this games weakest point other than actual endgame content releases

@@hermanmerman308 Yes. It works both ways!
