Talk:Armorsmith (vendor)

Do Armorsmith vendors autoscale with your level? I'm on a Level 11 Sylvari Guardian in Divinity's Reach trying to see if I can find one of the human armours on Profession selections screens and all the Armorsmiths I find only have level 10 and 15 tabs.

I am not positive, but I think they do. I remember most my accounts in the beta had level 0 and level 5 armor when they were 1-4ish. Then when they were in 5-9ish range they had level 5 and level 10 armor available in vendors. However, there is a chance that I just went to higher level vendors. Either way, it still needs a confirmation. BioMasterZap 02:31, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

As of today (Stress Test 8), the vendors scale to your level. It wasn't like that last week. Today, though, I was offered level 30 and 35 armor at a level 6 armorsmith, in Caledon Forest. Wombatt 03:40, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Backpack Straps

Noticed Backpack Straps on an Armorsmith vendor in Queensdale today (3 July 2014). Checked another in Queensdale and Stubb in Frostgorge and they all have them.

When were they added to their inventory? --Dibstaru (talk) 12:08, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Probably around the time they introduced the straps. There's hardly any reason to talk to these armor/weapnsmith vendors, so it's not surprising that no one noticed it until now. —Dr Ishmael 12:21, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

They've been there for quite a while. I bought some back before last August. Vahkris (talk) 13:23, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Values incorrect at lower levels

Hey just noticed while on a low level alt that the 15 level gloves are 72 copper not 80 copper. I know for a fact that the gloves are always cheaper than the boots as well.A Liability (talk) 11:05, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

Scaling with level

Hey, not sure where to post this but it seems a recent patch broke the scaling with level feature of non-city / wvw armor-smiths. Now the merchants sell thier armors at the level of the area. Not sure if this is intended, but even if it isn't, shouldn't we actually update the page?A Liability (talk) 11:42, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Plenty of merchants don't sell the scaled-up version of armor or weapons, it's not a bug, likely intended. --Ventriloquist 11:46, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

But up until a short time ago they only offered level specific armor.A Liability (talk) 08:29, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

Are you talking about the same NPCs that are now offering non-scaled armor/weapons? --Ventriloquist 08:34, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

Yes. At least 3 month ago they were ALL tied to your character level. Now they offer region level armor and weapons instead of being scaled like in Cities and WvW.A Liability (talk) 17:43, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

OK so, I just added the ascalonian merchants. Most of them do not scale, I listed down their set armor values. I'll be working on the other regions as I have time.A Liability (talk) 02:14, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
