Hey! I'm wondering what should I do, buy some gems(About 1300-2000) or just save up some money and buy the weapon skin via TP? I think I should buy the gems and try my chance with the blc. What's your opinion on this?

If its in the chests, I'd personally stay away. If it's direct purchase of the skins, well you can always wait and see if there's something you like. So I'd say save up for now so that you're ready to chose when you see them.

I believe they are going to sell the skins over gemstore, not in Blc, but we will see, im very certain thats how its supposed to come off. Eventhough, I wouldnt be surprised if theres exclusive weps/skins in the chests ( -__-)

so... save up I guess, we dont know what will happen yet as Arewn stated :3

Yeah, but the thing is that when the event start the gem price would go up and I can't afford to spend $ to buy gems atm atleast.
So the moment is now to buy some gems while they are at 60s or something.

Oooohh, gotcha. You could try a mix maybe? grab 700 gems or so, which should be enough for a costume/skin if there's one you really want on the gem store, and then have some gold still for the TP. A bit risky depending on how expensive the TP gets though :/

Yeah, well I guess I will just buy gems with all my money today and tomorrow... I love gambling, and blc's kinda is gambling..

I dont see any indication of the new weapon skins being from the Black Lion Chest, if it was, they would have stated like they did with the Hollween ones. it may be a direct buy, or if that green chest is any clue to anything, it will be in a special chest on the gemstore that will drop theme weapons, tho my guess is one direct buy.

Also looking at the quote it reads..

"The Gem Store will be well stocked in November! Unique minis and brand-new weapon skins made just for the Lost Shores weekend event are just some of what the Black Lion Trading Company has in store."

Besides the things mention last Monday....

• Power Trader (Booster): Activating power trader allows you to have up to 4 trading post listings per item and stack up to 1000 items in each listing
  
• Personal Black Lion Merchant Express: Double-click to summon a Personal Black Lion Merchant for five minutes, allowing you to access basic supplies and sell loot. Reusable.
  
• Stat Reset: Resets attributes
  
• RC Controller: Double-click to consume
  
• Name Change Contract: Double-click to change your character name once. The abandoned name will be reserved to you for you to reclaim on a different character for 24 hours. This item will be destroyed when finished.
  
• BWE Transform Weapon
  
• Sealed Package of Snowballs

what else might be in there? just things to ponder over.

Oh lawl, didn't knew about this. Well It's too late now anyways, I just bought 1300 gems. Btw for the past hour the gem price have gone up quite fast. The gems were 65s for 100gems, 10min ago was 79s for 100gems. Now it might be even bigger.

BWE Transform Weapon, What's this tho?

I honesty have no idea what those transform weapons are, but my  best guess is that they are the Lost Shore Weapons. dont know what BWE stands for, but it the past it stood for Beta Weekend Event, so maybe they are calling this weekend a "beta" of sorts. ofc all of this is just my understand of it,

edit note: heres the link to the page the talk about those items, http://www.guildwars...e-trading-post/
