So I like many others have decided to craft a legendary and instead of whining about precursor costs, my birthday is just round the corner and I want to know whether I should buy a gem card for 2000 gems to convert to gold to finish off the legendary. My question is, is there a stable way of calculating how much you can get gold wise in terms of gems? The rate at the moment is ~10g per 100 gems but to me ( and this math may be completely wrong but here it is) it seems like its 1000 gems for 100g. That to me doesn’t seem favourable at all and I would be very thankful if someone could tell me A) if I am wrong and how much one can get for 2000 gems

Quaggan finds your post inaccurate, wrong, misinformed, smelly and not as
good as Quaggan. Quaggan for President!
I traded 250 gems and got like 26.6 gold last night… It varies only way to know what you will get is just do it… Wish I could give better advise but really the in game chart is about the best we have….
For now, 2000 gems are traded for about195 golds. May increase with the halloween update, but it wouldn’t increase that much.
So yeah, it doesn’t really worth it.

yep its currently 100 gems gets 9.41 gold
or 1000 gems gets 94.1 gold
is that a bad deal? yeah, its a bad deal for the people selling gold, because 1000 gems costs 12.50 which is about 2 hours of minimum wage work, and you get an item which takes even good farmers 10 hours to make.
this has some range, based on how much you earn, versus how fast some people can farm, but its highly likely you are on the take advantage side of this equation.
also, the rate fluctuates based on how much gems are traded versus how much gold is traded. so it could be more different later. Most trends up to this point have you getting more gold per gem later.
So talking figures here, if you are going to get anywhere near the gold range of 1500+, you would need over 12,000 gems. which works out at somewhere near the answer of – I’m not that rich…… So what have we learned? That even by ANet’s own methods (and don’t get me wrong I love ANet) they make it very hard to trade gems for cash

And if you aren’t near a computer with the game installed, use the API.
Use in the number of gems you are looking to convert instead of 100 in the above link and get a real time result of the amount of gold you will get by selling them. Just remember the exchange fluctuates constantly.
For example 2000 gems at this moment is about 207.5g.

gems is basically a means of you trading players gem store items for in game gold. Its not exactly made to make getting items in game easier, its more giving you a way to trade players your real world time for their in game time, at a rate that is somewhat based on the demand comparison.
Basically, you are paying players to farm for you, and i dont think you could hustle someone for more than that.
The question is, would you rather in grind gold farm in game for 150 hours or give someone 195 dollars. about 27 hours of real world work if you make 7 an hour.

kitten spidey is slow, and the fluctuation seems to be large
So to recap, at this moment in time, you have two options – either sell your soul to the farming gods who still seem to roam Tyria or be willing to spend I don’t have the time to farm and gems just aren’t favourable sighs ANet when will you love us?

This is also a good place to check, if you don’t want/can’t download anything. (I’m at work and can’t download).

basically you either farm gold like a exploited laborer, or you spend cash
other option is take your time.
Overall i think they need to add some less time intensive goals, more skill/objective based stuff, or ways to increase your earning(of gold or items or whatever) through skills/objectives.
However i think their intention was to have people time valued similarly, and thus they dont really want to do what i suggested overall.
they want it to be about time
Except GW2Spidey’s Gem prices have been wrong since mid August with no indication if it will ever be fixed. The Gold to Gem price is too high and Gem to Gold price is too low. It still shows relative movement but don’t rely on it for actual rates.

I was not aware of that….
“You know what the chain of command is?
It’s the chain I beat you with until you
recognize my command!”
Right now the gold to gem rate is roughly 14.59g while Spidey reports it as 15.16g. Gem to Gold is 10.5g while Spidey reports it as 10g. The two tracking lines should never move in opposite directions and they did between Aug 11th and Aug 14th and since then the rates have been wrong.
It happened after an outage on the exchange chart.
how much one can get for 2000 gems
