List of currently available Gem Store items[edit]

Note: This section has a high chance of being out of date, as tables for Gem Store data are maintained voluntarily and manually. Do not rely on it as a definitive reference for what is currently available; at present, the only way to see what is currently for sale and what price items are discounted to is by checking the Gem Store in-game. |
The below tables were last edited on December 18, 2024 at 20:37:19 UTC Edits do not always mean a change of offers; they can be e.g. typo fixes instead. As such; even if the time indicated here should lie after the last change of the Gem Store offers in game the below tables may still be outdated by these offers; be it whole or partially. Further; since the below tables are maintained voluntarily and manually there may be a lot of time between changes to the Gem Store and the below tables. Offers may as such also not fully reflect the in game offers; be it they are e.g. missing here but are present in game or are present here still even though they are long gone in game or have other inconsistencies to their in game equivalent. The only truly accurate way to check the offers is to do so in game. Caveat lector.. See this page to edit the data behind the below tables.

Notes[edit]
- The Gem Store is actually a regular website, which the game renders by using a built-in browser engine. If you're having trouble viewing it, check your firewall or antivirus settings and make sure the game is allowed to access ports 80 and 443 (HTTP and HTTPS, respectively).
- When opening the Black Lion Trading Company by interfacing with a Black Lion Trader, the Trading Post, not the Gem Store is the default panel. Switch to the Gem Store using the
icon on the navigation bar. - Gem prices in USD ($) do not include Sales Tax. This is added at the time of gem purchase depending on the State of residence.
- Gem prices in EURO (€) already include 20% VAT.
- Free accounts can neither gift items nor purchase some items, including gliders, passes, and the Plush Quaggan Backpack Set.
- As of the July 11, 2017, update, the store interface was changed to a modern version with a drop-down menu.[1]
- Occasionally, server-side stored images (not retrievable via the API) of offers are not showing properly and may be replaced by the "service unavailable" image shown on the right.
- As of September, 2018, players in Belgium are no longer able to buy loot boxes and related items (such as chest keys, dye kits, and certain packs featuring random content) due to the introduction of an anti-gambling law in games.[2]
- Regionally restricted items have the following notice in the Gem Store: "This item is not available to purchase in your region."
- Around 2016-2017, ArenaNet used to rotate certain items in the Gem Store as a part of "Seasonal inventories", meaning that specific items were available only during spring, summer, or fall/winter. Although items still rotate in the shop, they are no longer bound to specific season of the year.
