Guild Wars 2

This chart is to show the Gems/Gold Conversion Chart of the Black Lion Trading Post.

This chart is solely from the server Blackgate, though I suspect the pattern may be similar to other servers.

These numbers were taken at various times during the day throughout the month.

This chart may not interest some of you, but it is for those that are interested to see if there is a pattern to try to make a profit. Or to see the past month’s conversion rates.

For Example, if you bought Gems with gold on Nov 4th, and sold them today you would’ve made a pretty penny in profit.

afaik conversion and other stuff on the bltc are cross-server.

Halfway into Nov, it spikes hard, and doesn’t recover much.

I can’t help but think something’s off in their algorithms.

Algorithms? the gem:coin ratio is determined by supply & demand. The supply has been increasing slowly, but the demand has been rising in leaps and bounds for these reasons:

• Players have more coin to spend (especially those that got exotics and named exotics during the karka event — watch that happen again when ANet gets the reward chest to those who got DC’d)
• There are things on the TP that people want: make over kits, keys, boosters, storage, the Black Friday deals, …
• There have been three events coming close together with associated gem shop items: Halloween, Karka invasion, and (upcoming) Wintersday.

It would be very surprising if the coin:gem ratio hadn’t spiked enormously.
