Gold version of Shiro's Blades

I don't think there's much to argue.
With all the assassins these days, people absolutely LOVE the sexy, long skin of shiro's blades.
I mean, come on? Who doesn't like dual katanas? The problem? You can't appreciate the skin because they're vampiric, so you can only use them as a wep switch in-battle.
Besides. Everyone knows Zealous is the 1337sauce.

So I think that in the next content update or whatever, they should add a gold version of Shiro's Blades. No point limiting such an awesome skin to such a worthless green.
I mean, come on? It's rq13!

Well, like the other factions-end game skins, they would have to drop in the elite areas, so it shouldn't be much of a problem.

But if they are going to drop unscribed most of the time, excepting the ones from the reward chests, it doesn't matter to me if they add them or not. ~~~~

I just want a weeaboo ninja assassin samurai with swords Q.Q

Sure, it's nothing game-changing. But it would be convenient for both us and them.
Most, if not, all of the playerbase highly favors the skin as the best dagger skin in the game. And it would let anet reuse the skin, only having to add dyable areas.

Win-Win, if you ask me.

Have you seen any scepter of orr there ? or any other famous weap from some chapter there dropping as an insc item ? no right ? there you go. Its like asking an insc version of Urgoz Longbow , no reason to turn exclusive skins non-exclusive.

they are SHIRO's Blades for a reason, besides they would have to rename the gold version and it wouldnt make shiro's blades unique. altho i do agree that the stats could be different, maybe Clean shiro blades can be added to the zchest, i just dont see it dropping anywhere else.

Have wanted this for a long time, the only real dagger skin that I like is set as an r13 Vamp weap :/



To whoever saying they have to stop progress on GW2 to do this, you realize they have seperate people working on GW1 and GW2 right?

Well i had the same problem, but you can find nice gold skins too... I like Storm Daggers, Demon Fangs...

Right now i am using a pair of White Dyed Deldrimor daggers, they look awesome!
If They'd make a gold version of Shiro's daggs, every lil kid'd play with it, and it would be an overused skin.

Pick one of these, there is no way you dont like even one.

who says it doesn't drop already?
just that the drop rate is 1 in <insert random insane number>

anyways yea - if you're gonna put that skin, then you need to put in other green only skins too...

/signed, couldn't hurt. Honestly, most dagger skins are too over the top or just ugly. I currently use stilettos because of the simple, realistic look. Same way with assassin armor, too. I hate how most assassin armor is really spiky. Aren't assassins supposed to be discreet? /endrant

Eh, that sin is okay. Deldrimor daggers aren't bad, but the ninja mask and FoW... it's almost a cliche. At least it isn't all black.

Anyway, on topic /signed
Its a perfectly reasonable idea. And its not like this would be that hard to do (people whinning about taking away people from GW2 need to realize this a) isn't a major change and would be easy to implement since the model is already there so it would not have a big impact on GW2's development and b) this is a GW suggestion forum. Don't shot down every suggestion with "but they are working on GW2" if you don't want to hear suggestions.
And yes, you can't use Texmod to change the models of other weapons into something else. So really, that doesn't help the OP (though the golden Shiro's Blades are pimping, the OP is asking for a gold item rarity as opposed to a green, not an actual gold colored dagger).

-Yawn- They should just make a crafter that can make any req9 weapon with any skin. Requiring some rare material plus platinum that would fluctuate based on how available the skin is. People are eventually going to want that anyway. I know I'd like to pimp my necro in Plagueborn stuffs and not have to spend forever in town hunting them down.

Everything looks the same under Splinter.


While I wouldn't mind it - I won't exactly be throwing a tantrum if it does not get added.

I wonder what mats I'd need for an Obbi Edge



In all seriousness, I think they should make a quest or something. Maybe after-game quests for each campaign that extend the epilogues or tell more about the villains.

Or maybe a villain bonus mission pack?
I'd love to play the adventures of Shiro and the Lich. They could just get lazy and re-use old maps like they do with dungeons, but use different graphical effects and npcs to disguise them as another dungeon. That is, if I'm correct on how GW works would be similar to Ocarina of Time which uses a header for things like the Skybox, and actors/"Hidden npcs" to put on shader effects for areas, which would be very easy for devs to do if GW runs similar to 3d Zelda games.

Random rambling aside, it would be a cool idea. And I heard they hired new artists, so it could be possible. I would love it

May as well. I don't see a problem with an option of having a gold pair. I'm rather fond of the skin myself though.

There are a few skins only available as 1 set of stats. THis is just one of them. As mentioned, the Drago's Flatbow is a nice skin that many like, but don't want to use for all builds because of the stats. Maybe I want a Flatbow with Drago's skin, but Zealous instead of Sundering, or Fiery for a Conjure build.

Although there will be some people who would want these, that does not make it something that should be added. Having unique skins like this is nice, and if you don't like the stats, then don't use them, or deal with the stats.

Not many options exist doe where they would drop, and since it would be a Factions drop, the chances of them dropping with stats ANYONE would want would be slim. Maybe it would increase activity in The Deep and Urgoz Warren though....

Drago's is a a green with the Greater Sturdy Bow skin a PvP reward most weapons in this game are available in modifiable form as a PvP reward (including some you will never see in PvE ever!)

Each skin should be like this:
- With one single name. No multitple names for the same skin.
- Exclusive name. No multiple skins with the same name.
- Available both 'clean' (fully moddable) and as an unique item. No skin found only as a green item, and no skin yet to be used for a green item.

There are enough bosses to make possible for each one to have one skin.

I agree with this, though I'd like the gold versions of currently rare/unobtainable weapons (like Shiro's Blades) to still be hard to get (don't make them craftable unless it's in some hard place (like Obsidian armor is in FoW)).

Yes, I am aware of PvP skins from the rewards. Didn't think the gold drops were part of PvP though since nothing drops in PvP outside of a couple chests. Point is there are a few PvE green weapons that have no comparable skin available to PvE players outside of that specific green item.

Also, they need to add the remaining Tolkano-only skins into the drop table...

I think they need to add some functionality to the Eternal Weaponsmith. Have him craft Eternal blades, bows, shields, ghostly staves, and eternal/ghostly versions of the other weapon types. They would of course, require ectos to create. And he would only be available after opening the eternal forgemaster or completing the Fissure of Woe.

I'd love to see an Eternal Spear for my Imbagon.

Theres a hard PvE place?

but seriously as much as a love the skin i also love the exclusiveness of the skin. maybe instead of making it gold, lower the req to 12 so at least we can get a critical hit or something. this would probably result in more ppl using it and still holding its exclusiveness.
cuz honestly, i didnt know shiro made a million of his blades and stuck them in a chest in the underworld or something.

LOLS!!!!!

Anyway, I would like to have skins like Drago's Flatbow, Tanzit's Defender, etc...
But since Shiro's Daggers have a weapon requirement of 13, all the golds should be 13-16!!!! AHAHHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!
So /signed on this I guess.
