Guild Wars 2

I was looking at the new infusions for a while now and their prices on TP and I saw a single lonely +13 ran for 500 g. Last night I saw that it sold and since it was the only one chances are someone may make a +14! The first ever!

It makes me think that someone with a lot of wealth say, the legendary and precursor manipulators, could well indeed afford such a large Infusion and make lots of money at our expense. They can also buyout the whole market on infusions and make only the high numbered ones cornering the market if they so cared.

I calculated the cost of buying the required +1s at 10.01 silver and the costs of Thermocatalytic Reagents shown on wiki and it would cost around 955 gold or so.

A Player will have to list at over 1228 gold to make a sizable profit after this huge expense.

We now have something in game that rivals the prices of precursors and legendaries!

A +15 would probably cost as much as Legendary and anything over +15 will be a legendary x the number of +1s over 15 +1. It would be like the GW 1 market where things were priced in ectos, but now it will be priced in legendaries or infusions.

This is of course if people will be trading via mail and trusting each other now more.

I don’t run fractals a lot, but would there really be any demand for these high infusions? Isn’t it overkill? Can you do lvl 50 fractals with a more manageable +10 infusion?

You only need 70 AR at lv 50 to make agony a tickle (1% hp a second 3 seconds).

You can get 70 ar total in the normal infusion slots, (14 slots x +5 versatile infusions) but most people want to add the MF infusion to a trinket wasting one slot and WvW infusions for the rest, so getting 3 high numbered infusions for the infused rings and back item may be in high demand once everyone catches on.

as Yumiko said:
70 AR < 70 AR + 55 stats + 11% damage to/from guards
(23 + 23 + 24 AR, then the rest wvw infusions)
it’s all about min/maxing

According to the API, someone has even created a +16 Infusion but obviously didn’t decide to sell it.

A guy is my guild was showing off his +30. So I’m not really sure what all the fuss is over one in the teens…

Anyone can ping anything. A +30 would require 8031588g just for the thermocatalytic reagents (not factoring the 536,870,912 +1 infusions required), so let me assure you that your guild member does not actually have one.

((Shrug)) Could be. Didn’t feel the need to challenge him on it.

Honestly, I don’t think the current system is going to survive long enough for it to have that large of an impact outside of a very small percentage of players.
