Default skins...

I don't get skins, i have to say in the year i have been playing GW I never understood skins.. I have some questions..

How do you get these "rare" skins??
Do they drop on weapons??
I have seen some rare crystaline skin and the sword was clean and required NO swordsmanship, why is that expensive??

Can someone just tell me about skins so i know from now on?

Thanks.

That "Crystaline Sword" you saw was a Long Sword quest reward from Pre-Searing. Obviously it's worthless.

Rare skins appear on gold or green items (well, most likely to be max damage). Easy as that.

Vanity, my friend, vanity. People pay 100k + __Ectos just to be able to brag about their 15^50 Gold *insert rare weapon skin here* just to feel superior.

And this is a prime example of a person being jealous of another persons luck/fortune.

I assure you, I would much rather spend my money on something useful rather than a 15^50 piece of glass. I was simply answering the OP's question(s), so instead of making rude assumptions, please, stay on topic.

It's something to do with your money when you've beaten the game and have maxed out the gold on your account.

Braggin rights FTW!

Alternately, people buy a particular skin because they happen to really like it and have had zero luck trying to get it to drop for themselves.

What you mean you guys havent found the UW crafter yet. Shame Shame.

There is even a materials guy there that crafts 50 glittering dust and 1.5k into ectos. Glad not to many know about it then WooT.
