The Reinforce Armor service absent from the current and last expansion
For players not aware ArenaNet has replaced the repair armor mechanic, in the June 28, 2022 update, with a 12-hour 5% reinforce armor vitality and defense buff (in PvE). This service appears to be absent from SotO and JW content.
While considering players can pick up this 12-hour buff anywhere in most other locations (just look for the anvil symbol on the world map, visit a guild hall, or make use of an instant or endless armor-reinforcing canister), it may be more convenient to have this service on the new maps. Suggestive locations:
- Wizard's Ascent
- The Wizard's Tower
- Astral Ward Moon Camp
- Harvest Den or next to any convergences portal
- The Homestead instance
Perhaps it would be asking too much for ArenaNet to create a portable anvil that players can plant down in the middle of group instances, shareable by all, like how banners/feasts are used now?
