Katanas (clickbait) already exist in the game, why aren't they made available?

[Heimskarl Ashfiend.9582]


 

Ok, so technically they're not Katanas, let's not get into that... I told you it was clickbait.

 

I'm just putting this out there again because they're still not for purchase/collection and I've asked once a year since 2015.

 

They are from HoT, wielded by Quetzal Tengu enemies.

 

It could be a Cantha Weaponsmith package from the gem store and include these, plus Belinda's Greatsword. Come on, its money just waiting to be made!

 

In-game item links;

Dagger [&AgFcDgEAAA==]

1h Sword [&AgGADQEAAA==]

 

Plus, Belinda's for those that haven't seen it: [&CtIVAAA=]

 

Thanks in advance ;)

if im not mistaken this is more like a wakizashi, basically a backup sword (think sidearm/pistol of the modern day soldier)

 

would love to see it available ingame (hopefully via collections) or maybe we could get something similar in the upcoming expansion

A Tengu related collection would be great, but I'd be perfectly willing to fork out for them too.

i know i know! lol but yeah something like that would be nice.

 

[ actually there's a lot of un-obtainable content like other weapons and armour only npcs have been able to use that Anet could recycle (maybe just a simple retexture since the assets are already there) and then made available via collections ]

No relevant, it is already pointed out in the op.

Well the next expansion is going to be set in Cantha, which is themed on Asia, so it's possible we'll get weapons like this (maybe not this exact model but a katana/wakizashi/tanto style) when that comes out.

[Kodama.6453]

We are going to Cantha with the next expansion, pretty sure that we will get these skins when that expansion releases.
