Top 5 Guild Wars 2 Fashion Tips for Fashion Contests

[@ko4ichigo]

not doing any fashion contest but i really want my character to look amazing i think it's important if you play the character everyday so thank you so much!!!! 😊

[@LarienBee]

You’re welcome! Yes I totally agree 😊 Glad I could help!

[@sham4124]

Yess exactly

[@LisaSummers1988]

Always said that jumping puzzles are not the toughest puzzles in the game. Fasion is. Getting it all together perfeclty gets me the biggest joy. I came to guildwars for the game but i stayed for the fasion.❤

[@kiratastic7048]

I love these tips! I’ve honestly been using a lot of these, completely unknowing that there are actual contests for this!

[@LarienBee]

Thank you! Oh awesome!! Yaass, fashion contests are so much fun!!

[@TheAquarius87]

Not a fashion contest kinda guy, but I do appreciate when a character looks amazing. And I agree that less is more. Sometimes the lights and particle effects are just too much! That and clipping issues 🤭

[@LarienBee]

So true!! You don’t need all the legendaries and infusions to have amazing fashion 😆

[@Getayla]

Thanks for the tips! By the way, i absolutely love the human at 3:55, he looks amazing!

[@thewilberforce]

I’m new to GW2…and this kind of thing makes me wish I had played long ago. Thanks so much.

[@stieviero]

for tip2, i'd like to argue that combining Head, shoulders, Gloves, 3pieces is less impactfull then chest, legs dispite being only 2pieces.

[@LarienBee]

For sure!

[@mortalux]

Do you consider having the same set of chest and legs a detriment if all other pieces are from different sources entirely?

[@montanawhite5699]

You can dye weapons in gw1. I guess it’s a superior game.

[@LarienBee]

Right? 😆

[@marvinium5432]

Great Video. I always loved the fashion part in GW2. Don’t know about the fashion contest, maybe I should go to one.

[@LarienBee]

Thank you! You are always free to come watch first to see if you would like to enter ☺️

[@MInorek5]

i always choose my weapons first when creating a look. makes the procesz way easier afterwards, trust me

[@LarienBee]

It really does!

been working on a Norn guardian that's a hybrid between the nightmarish magic user look of Spawn and the modern knight look of Goblin Slayer (currently trying to get the Dragon Render Helm for that part) the hardest part for me is the gloves and boots as of right now. the helmet: currently Armageddon heavy helm from the ruins of orr karma vendors (will change) the Shoulders: fused shoulders with dark violet abyss dye for the glowing for a true dark magic look the chest and legs: both are the heavy armor set from the city of Arah dungeon Gauntlets: citadel of flame, flame legion (love the size and scale layers but hate how the flames clash with my colors the boots: Decade of Dragons (might change later, it'll depend on the gloves) most of the colors I use are brick and scarlet for the highlights, abyss for my main color, and darkness for my secondary, Violet abyss is for small "magic" details such as gems or flames once I get the Dragon Render helm it'll truly start to look like the " paladin of Dragon nightmares" look I'm going for do you have any suggestions or advice? (also note that the build I'm using is a vipers firebrand so lots of fire and magic)

[@LarienBee]

That sounds really cool! I agree on the gloves clashing with the colors. From some of the pics I saw on google of Spawn and Goblin Slayer, you might could try the Gladiator Gauntlets or Barbaric Gloves. The dyes sound good, but I haven’t seen it, so hard for me to know the way you have them 😆 My only other suggestion is to try and get that extra flare without going overboard. Sometimes looks are really good, but then there’s the ones that have that extra oomph and makes it stand out 😉

[@dragoonism]

Wow this a deep look into the true end game ! I want to join a competition!

[@LarienBee]

Yas, would love to have you! 🌈 Rainbow Fashion Contest this weekend!! NA is Saturday @ 7pm EST in Rata Sum and EU IS Sunday @ 7pm CET in Rata Sum!!

VIDEO SUGGESTION : good looking armors that are obtainable without spending gems

[@LarienBee]

Oooo good idea! Will look into this!! 😎

[@zearcjustice7837]

@@LarienBee looking foward to it

[@Gochna89]

Mandatory not a fashion contest person, but i have been complimented on all of my Charr looks, including my own creations and/or my cosplays that took me hours to figure out, and I really love to see someone playing with a character with nicely picked armors, dyes, maybe cosplay, maybe composition or theme. I just can't help but pity those people who will just slap each and every infusion they have for glow and show, ending looking like something that would come out of a cat after eating a glitter bomb, just to basically show "I'm rich". It doesn't even look good, it is just "please look at me, please". You might be rich, but you can't buy good fashion taste with it.

[@LarienBee]

1000 times yes 😂 🙌🏻

[@Munchkin.Of.Pern09]

I recently completed Aurora and Vision, but I already had the Return To’s Legendary Amulet and didn’t like the way they looked together. So all of my characters either have the Amulet or they have Vision and Aurora showing, and the other one(s) turned off.

[@Lirka_906]

“Please look at me, please” And even if you wanted to, you can’t. Because it’s like staring into the sun.

[@LarienBee]

[@Bandit_iso]

Ive tried hard to make a warhammer witch hunter in GW2, i only have a few leather pieces and dyes... maybe one day ill have the perfect combination

[@LarienBee]

That would be cool! Make sure to check out the GW2 Wiki for the armor page so you can take a look at what pieces would best fit the look! Then you can find out how to get the pieces you need 😊

Great vid! Just found your channel, I would love for an account tour and character showcase. Let us know if that’s something you’d consider doing

[@LarienBee]

Thanks! That’s a good idea! 🤔

[@easywriter7836]

GW2 needs Designer Fashions! Everyone craves an eye-popping look, but most of use are fashion challenged. Where can we go for a bespoke suit of armor? We need popular brands whose videos tell us how to put together outfits, including character generation, and couturiers who will make us look like Indiana Jones or Wonder Woman upon request. Or even Beyoncé! Why should the gem store be the only place selling outfits?

[@LarienBee]

That would be interesting!

Thanks for the tips! Two questions : what about legendary trinkets ? On my character they are part of my theme. And how to find fashion contestés? I'm in european server and I've never found some !

[@LarienBee]

You’re welcome! Legendary trinkets are usually allowed! I don’t think I’ve ever been to a fashion contest that didn’t allow them, however infusions can be kind of like the cosplay rule, make sure to ask in advance. As far as fashion contests for EU, I actually just started holding them for EU as well! The next one is a Charr Fashion Contest on September 3rd @ 6pm CET / 7pm CEST in Black Citadel! No outfits and no cosplay allowed 😸

nice video! are you only hosting fashion competitions for NA? Im on EU and im all in for the fashon wars as end game. I would love to see something like this on EU server.

[@LarienBee]

Thank you!! I was only doing them for NA but this weekend I am starting them for EU!! Rainbow Fashion Contest for EU Sunday, July 30th @ 7pm CET 😁

[@Scigeraptor]

Personally, I tend to only do 3 pieces from a single armor set by default if I'm going to choose set items unless I have no other options that really fits the character's look. I write stories for all my toons and I tend to get a fairly specific look in my head of what they might wear. xD And most of them are very normal people so they wouldn't have extravagant, over-the-top or overly designed looks. I might have fun on their weapons to help show a little bit of who they are in it, even if they canonically have much simpler weapons, but their armor can be... difficult, at times. Especially in the heavy class. I usually forgo a helmet and shoulders altogether as they tend to be so darn bulky. o_e I swear, my biggest problem is having that specific look in mind for them but none of the armor options work, or they clip, or *something* that ruins the whole thing. OTL

[@easywriter7836]

I’m not creative, but I’d love to Cosplay my characters. Are there any guides to refer to?

[@LarienBee]

Not that I’ve seen but this is something I am working on!

[@tatianasearle3470]

A newbie question: How do you dye mounts? Yours looks amazing!

[@miruneverdies]

The same window as equipment dyeing, but where you see your character preview there is a pictogram of a horseshoe in the upper left corner. I think you'll figure out the rest from this point.

[@LarienBee]

Thank you! Yes, like the other person commented, it’s in the same area as dyeing your armor pieces, directly above the dye wells for your equipment 😊 Dyeing your mounts, gliders, skiffs unlocks account-wide at level 6

[@tatianasearle3470]

Thanks for the replies! Mine now looks kinda cool with a pink back!

[@LarienBee]

@@tatianasearle3470 aww yay!!

[@Monawaat_Shaeeka]

im new and bought the expansions, will I be able to obtain free glowing gear and weapon styles? I love glowy styles but dont really wanna pay through shop

[@LarienBee]

Hello! 👋🏻 Welcome to the Guild Wars 2 fam! There are many different pieces of armors that glow that you can earn just by playing the game 😊 Radiant is a good one but it might take a while to get because you have to have a good amount of achievement points. The dungeon sets have a couple of fiery glow sets like Flame Legion and Forgemans. Others include Luminescent from Living World Season 2 story, Requiem and Blossoming Mist Shard from Living World Season 4, and Jade Tech from End of Dragons. Check out this wiki list of all the armors 😎 wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Armor_set
