The new Guild Wars Skill (and Item) Unlock Packs are on sale for 50% off until 31st December. The Skill Unlock Packs provide players the following benefits:

• Immediately use these unlocked skills for your Heroes and PvP characters.
• These skills (except elite skills) also become available for your PvE characters to learn from any Skill Trainer.

This is great because I don’t have to spend time playing on other Professions so that I can have access to skills that I would like my Heroes to have. I have loads and loads of skills for Necromancers and Mesmers, but not so much for the others. Of course, if I want to have any of the unlocked skills in my characters’ arsenal, I will still have to pay one platinum to a Skill Trainer for each skill. I will also need to capture any Elite skill that I would like to use myself.

Also, Guild Wars merchandise is now available. Unfortunately, they do not sell the t-shirts women’s sizes. I snagged the shirts in size Small before they ran out, as they tend to do. NCsoft Europe sells Profession shirts in women’s sizes, but I don’t play an Elementalist, Ranger, or Monk. The Guild Wars hoodies are nice, but they’re so expensive, and with the Dollar so week against the Pound, there is no way I am going to spend nearly $100 for one.

I keep posting about stuff to buy, but we are coming up on that time of year again.
