Hi guys,

When on Trading Post was Molten Alliance Mining Pick for 800 gems I bought it. Now Arena Net add Dreamcleaver Logging Axe which costs 1k gems. Arena Net, If another tools will costs 1k gems I want 500 (not 400) gems in Massive Achievement Chest. Ok, but players whose reached more than 5k Achievement Points may feel very, very bad. So… You should lower price of gathering tools back to 0,8k gems.

The gathering tools are account bound now, hence the increase in price.

They raised the price because now it is account bound. You can take your Molten Pick to the trader, make sure it’s in your bag rather than your hero panel, and exchange it for the account bound version. That way you only need one for all your alts as long as you are willing to transfer it via your bank.

If they are selling one per account rather than one per character, of course it will cost more. Even with the extra expense, you can overall spend far less on the tools with this new functionality.

I know that the tools are acc bound now. But if it still will costs 1k gems I want 100 gems more in massive achiev chest.

What does the price of permanent gathering tools have to do with gem rewards from achi chests?

Gieniusz Krab.8259:

Something is wrong with message over this message I mean ools was cost 800 gems before. From achi chest players can get 400 (50%). So… Now price is 1k gems, so to 50% we need 100 more gems.

But Anet never said that the gem reward from the Achi chests should be worth half a permanent gathering tool.

You most likely have a “quote” in brackets instead of a “/quote”.

But also, no one says that you need to use the 400 gems on the harvesting tool. You can just as easily use it for a bag/bank/character expansion and those have not increased in price. Or just turn them into gold, and someone who turn gems into gold a year ago (with much worse rates than now) shouldn’t be able to get the “extra” gold that you would be able to get now. I wouldn’t look free gems in the mouth, but your logic for why we should get them isn’t there.
