Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone
So I have a few questions for you guys…

1. What can I do with the Quartz Crystals?
2. What’s the difference between a Quartz Crystal and a Charged Quartz Crystal?
3. Do you guys recommend to get 2-3 stacks of Quartz Crystals? what will be their use in the future?
4. I’ve heard people talking about buying recipes from the merchants in Labyrinthine Cliffs, what are they good for? (the recipes) and how can I make money out of them?
5. I’ve heard about a new set of gear that would be available soon, how can I get it?
6. What are the Zephyres?
7. Where can I get Fortune Scraps from?

Thanks

1. Quartz Crystals turn into Charged Quartz Crystals.
2. CQC are used for Celestial gear.
3. Crafting Celestial gear.
4. You buy Zephyr crates which contain celestial gear recipes used to craft… celestial gear. (You must have the recipe for insignia/jewel to craft the items which also require a recipe, so you can’t just use the discovery panel.)
5. Celestial gear, no new looks, just celestial stats (every stat, total set gives +145 all stats along with MF and CritDamage).
6. Zephyrites are people who live in/on the Zephyr ships.
7. Kite Fortunes, found on mobs all over Tyria. Also obtainable from Sanctum Sprint.

Note: All Celestial Gear (and Celestial Insignia/Jewel) are account bound, so you can’t just buy it from other players. You MUST craft it yourself. The CQC (Charged Quartz Crystal) are also Account Bound, so it will take 30 days to craft a full set of armor (not including trinkets which would take another 5 months or so for one character… or you can use ascended, kitten kitten ).

Thanks! much appreciated!
