Quick question regarding the BL Weapons Traders

[GW Noob.6038]

How often/when do the Black Lion Weapon Traders change their inventory?

[Knighthonor.4061]

I want to say about once every month or two.

 

Also you can go to the Black Lion Market in Lion Arch for the old skins

[Inculpatus cedo.9234]

It's usually, though not always, with major releases.

[Danikat.8537]

Both the above replies are accurate - it's usually every 4-6 weeks and usually in-line with new releases. It has sometimes been longer to fit with the release of episodes (or maybe because they didn't have a weapon set ready sooner), but only occasionally.

 

So for example the current Seven Reapers weapons were added when Halloween started and will probably be removed in mid-November when the next big update happens, whether that's episode 1 of season 5 or a balance patch or something else.

 

If there's a weapon you especially want it's best to assume you have 1 month from the time it's added to the game to buy it for 1 ticket. But remember you can buy them on the trading post with gold at any time and they do cycle back around periodically.

Thanks, guys! I guess I'll just keep checking the Black Lion vendors at Lion's Arch...not sure why Anet assigned one of the already available weapon set to each trader, though.
