Sodeni.6041 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Hey! I'd like to buy a new lanyard and I really want a gw2 themed one and I heard that there are path of fire themed ones but I just can't find where to buy them. They are neither on the official GW2 merch shop so where can I buy them? Would appreciate help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Doing a Google search turns up links to mostly people showing off their lanyards from events, but there may be some eBay listings, as there is a link there. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I want to buy a new lanyard not a used one. Sadly Anet does appearently not sell them :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProverbsofHell.2307 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 A lanyard? Just kind of curious why one may want that sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To attach a key to it so it doesn't get lost and show off your GW2 love :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of people have to carry ID/key cards at work, and/or actual keys and find a lanyard is a useful way to do it, especially if it's an ID card that needs to be visible. And if you have to wear one anyway you may as well personalise it. When they bought key cards in at my work we were all issued plain lanyards and within about a week lots of people had swapped them out for personalised ones, and were discussing and comparing them. As Inculpatus cedo said I think the GW2 ones are only used by Anet staff and as give-aways at events, so unless you're able to get to a convention where they have a stand (I think E3 is the next one) you'll probably need to buy one from ebay.

Oh it's a shame if they only give them away at events :( Would be amazing if they sold them in their merch shop and I think some people would buy it.

Ayakaru.6583 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Had to google 'what's a lanyard' :p keychord apparantly. But yes, it's a nice gimmick to have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Try suggesting this to the official Swag-vendor for ANet: [For Fans by Fans](https://www.forfansbyfans.com/fandom/detailView/guildwars2.html) You can [submit designs](https://community.forfansbyfans.com/m/fan-forge/submission/Guild-Wars-2-Fan-Forge), too. They have T-Shirts, Mugs, Wallets, Hoodies, Pins, Plushies, Water Bottles, Calendars... all stuff that is easily obtained and re-branded; I imagine it wouldn't be hard to add lanyards to the list. Also, it's probably not that hard to make your own, by purchasing a plain one and using some sort of heat-applied lettering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercury ranique.2170 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Arenane has several of the, and they are used as promotional gifts (and therefor not for sale). For fans by fans could do a custom design one. But the best way to get one is to go to an expo event where arenanet is attending, walk to their boot. Tell them they are awesome and ask if they have one to spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the expression was "walk a mile (km) in someone else's boots so you can understand how they got their lanyard." (Sorry, I know that was a typo and you meant `booth.)
