== Dialogue ==
:Welcome to the Black Lion Trading Company. If you've got a claim ticket, or enough scraps of one, I can show you some of our rarest and most interesting merchandise.
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Tell me about new weapon opportunities.''
::Check back often, as we discover new weapons, or have special ticket pricing on different weapon sets.
::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Will these weapons always be available?''
:::We endeavor to keep most weapon types available, but as weapon supplies decrease, our prices will rise considerably.
:::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I'll be back.''
::{{dialogue icon|sell}} ''I'd like to upgrade my soulbound permanent gathering tool.'' <small>'''(If you have old soulbound permanent gathering tools)'''</small>

:{{dialogue icon|sell}} ''Show me what you've got.''
:{{dialogue icon|end}} ''I'll be back.''

== Notes ==
* New Black Lion weapon skins are usually introduced at a rate of one Black Lion Claim Ticket. The price is eventually increased to three tickets, usually at the same time as a new skin is introduced.
* Skin sets are regularly removed from the vendor to open up space for new sets, but may return in the future. [[Lauren Kamieniecki]] hinted  in 2015 there might be some improvements to these vendors so that skins are always available.<ref>[https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Zodiac-Weapons-gone-from-merchant/first#post5015369 Lauren Kamieniecki on Official Forums]</ref>. However, as of 2024, this has not been implemented.
* To check which skins you have already unlocked, see [[Black Lion Claim Ticket/Skin unlocks]].

== Trivia ==
* The Black Lion Specialist in Lion's Arch will exchange the following discontinued [[soulbound]] unlimited gathering tools for the equivalent account bound version. You need to have a soulbound version of the item in your inventory (i.e. unequipped) to exchange your tool.

* The ability to convert soulbound gathering tools to account bound ones was added as part of [[The Nightmares Within]].
