Why is it that holiday masks don't have armor and can't be upgraded with runes?

They can be upgraded with runes as far as i know , they just cannot be upgraded with insignias for some reason , no idea why though , try asking Regina on her talk page on wiki , its something many Guild Wars players would like the ability to do though.

Probably because otherwise any new char could get a max armor upgradeable head piece for 10g.

raise the price to 1k, new charcters can already get elite armor at lvl2....



Holiday hats are never armored and you cant mod them, thats the way it is.

Because sometimes it's nice to have something for it's looks rather than to be practical

it's only for looks, not meant to be played in all the time. this prevents people from wearing the masks all year round; the fact that they are useless in fighting.

Actually, you are fully able to wear holiday hats and complete PvE. Just make sure you aren't getting hit on your head too often

I want them to allow them to be changed. I posted a topic in Sardelac about it. I obviously see a reason to keep it from being 10g, but my suggestion took care of that.... check it out in Sardelac if you haven't yet.

I'd like to see masks being able to be upgraded with insignias. I don't see what's wrong with it, it still has 0 AR

If you add a stalwart, brawler, blessed, herald or sentry insignia, it will no longer have 0 AR.
