GW2 Kites from Buried Chests in Dry Top

Dulfy 26 Comments Jul 30, 2014

Videos and images of the three new kites added to the Buried Chests in Dry Top. These kites give you 5% speed increase and 33% during sandstorms. Special thanks to Old Sayid for helping me with the kites!

Run speed increase: 5% normally, 33% during sandstorms. It stacks with Swiftness but you can only use utility swiftness skills since your weapon skills are blocked while using the kite.

Acquisition: Buried Chests during sandstorm in Dry Top. Can be also brought on the TP but kinda expensive atm (20-50 gold)

Hi do you know whether this kite can be converted to a guild kite?
- Akuni
  
  They cannot… sadly.

So those are basically a super expensive IMS during which you cant use your weapon skills…. yeah seems worth to buy

Does the buff stack with signets that increase movement speed?

And of course I wasted my precious gems on a completely useless kite right before these show up =’D
At least mine is prettier I guess…

The kite is tradable unless you open it.
Aaaaa

These kites do not stack with swiftness AT ALL. Trolled into wasting 40g, good job I guess assholes.

i am really sad, that i bought a kite for 500gems and 15 gold and he doesn’t increase movement speed anywhere.. i think we should send out angry tickets^^

  Hi,
  
  Dulfy said the kite were those in the dry top CHest.
  The previous kites do not increase speed.
- Sty
  
  I agree that all the existing kites should increase run speed like the new ones. Anyway, adding functionalities to cosmetic items is a good idea.

  It’s how Anet drain your money.
Nope

The kites DO NOT stack with swiftness.

I think the reason they don’t add functions to cash shop items is to make gameplay a little more even for everyone. And personally I like it that way, we wouldn’t want GW2 to turn into one of the games where he who was the most money wins.

Valuable suggestions , I was enlightened by the specifics ! Does anyone know if my company might be able to get a template NY Managed Land Access Permit version to edit ?
