Game of Thrones: Kingsroad weapon skins are high-tier cosmetic items obtained primarily by progressing through the game's Season Pass tiers. Players can earn skins tailored to the Knight, Assassin, and Sellsword classes, such as the Kraken Coil weapon set and the Ash and Steel Weapon Skin Box. Active players can unlock tier-45 Season Pass weapon skins in as few as 29 days without purchasing level skips.
Available Weapon Skins and Class Variations
Netmarble Neo's action RPG provides specific weapon appearances corresponding to the game's three playable classes: Knight, Assassin, and Sellsword. Weapon cosmetics match the signature armaments used by each archetype:
- Knight: Sword skins (including the Kraken Coil sword design)
- Assassin: Dagger skins (such as the Kraken Coil daggers and flaming red variants)
- Sellsword: Axe skins (including the Kraken Coil axe)
Weapon skins are featured in seasonal reward tracks. For example, the Season Pass: Rain and Flame introduced the Ash and Steel Weapon Skin Box as a top reward in the Season Pass Premium tier. Weapons have also featured distinct visual effects, with community players documenting glowing red and green weapon effects across past event rotations.
Season Pass XP Breakdown and Unlock Time
Unlocking a featured Season Pass weapon skin requires reaching level 45. Each level demands 150 XP, totaling 6,750 XP across the pass. EXP is acquired through recurring daily missions, weekly challenges, and non-repeatable milestone activities.
| Mission Type | Available XP | Reset or Completion Rules |
|---|---|---|
| Daily Missions | 75 XP per day | Resets every 24 hours |
| Weekly Missions | 525 XP per week | Resets weekly |
| Worm Walks | 900 XP total | One-time reward across 30 levels |
| Beyond the Wall Expeditions | 1,000 XP total | 250 XP per 5 completed stages (up to stage 20) |
| Quests and Bounties | 500 XP total | One-time completion for 3 specific tasks |
Free-to-Play vs. Paid Progression Timeline
Player calculations show that an active free-to-play player can reach level 45 in approximately 29 days (during week five) without spending premium currency:
- Free-to-Play Pace: Free players receive three free Beyond the Wall Expedition attempts per week. By maintaining daily missions, finishing all weekly objectives, and completing one-time content (Worm Walks and bounties), a player accumulates 6,100 XP over the first four weeks. On day 29, completing the 15th expedition milestone alongside available daily and weekly tasks yields the remaining 650 XP required.
- Premium Dragon Purchase Pace: Players can spend Golden Dragons (approximately 1,200 Golden Dragons across four weeks) to purchase two extra Beyond the Wall Expedition entries each week. This advances expedition milestones faster, allowing players to enter week five needing only 150 XP. However, this still requires playing into day 29, meaning paid entry purchases mainly provide scheduling flexibility rather than significantly shortening the calendar duration.
- Instant Leveling: The Season Pass interface allows players who wish to skip the grind entirely to instantly purchase pass levels directly with Golden Dragons.
How to Equip Weapon Skins
Players who unlock a weapon skin often find that it does not show up automatically or within the standard cosmetics wardrobe tab. To equip a weapon skin on your character:
- Open your main character menu and navigate to the overall equipment screen.
- Locate the large weapon cosmetic icon located on the bottom-right side of the equipment screen.
- Select your weapon slot from this menu.
- Choose the unlocked weapon skin from your inventory and confirm the selection to apply the cosmetic model to your active weapon.
Unclaimed Season Pass rewards from completed levels are delivered to your in-game mailbox once the season concludes, but levels that were never reached during the active window cannot be claimed retroactively.
Cosmetic Collection System
Official developer notes confirmed an upcoming Cosmetic Collection feature. Once implemented, all unlocked weapon skins, outfits, and mounts automatically register into an account-wide collection ledger. Completing set milestones within this collection system will award dedicated milestone prizes, giving cosmetic collectors long-term account perks in addition to cosmetic appearances.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my unlocked weapon skin not showing on my weapon?
Weapon cosmetics are not equipped from the standard cosmetics tab. You must open the character equipment screen, click the cosmetic icon situated in the lower-right corner, and manually select the skin for your weapon.
Can free-to-play players unlock Season Pass weapon skins?
Free-to-play players can earn enough pass XP to reach level 45 within 29 days by clearing all daily, weekly, and one-time milestone tasks. However, certain exclusive boxes—such as the Ash and Steel Weapon Skin Box from the Rain and Flame pass—are placed exclusively on the paid Season Pass Premium track, which requires a pass upgrade.
Can you buy Season Pass levels to get weapon skins immediately?
The Season Pass system allows players to spend Golden Dragons to instantly advance to any pass level, bypassing the daily and weekly XP grind.
