Guild Wars 2

15 Orich ingot = 30 Orich Ore PER 1 Ascended weapon. (You have what? 2 weeks to get that? One node give you 3 already, it takes you about one day for 30 orich ore?)

It looks like the new mats will be the grind. I guess after people abused the crap out of Orich ore for leveling crafting, then the price will come down.

To get to 450 you’ll need at least 250 Orichalcum ore. You can also get a few levels by refining ore into ingots as well.

that isn’t bad at all. 250 Oric ore isn’t much. Now, I just need to levevl my weaponsmith.

With all the champ loot bags dropping ori, this is a paltry sum.

I crafted a grand total of 4 Exos to get to 450 in Artificer.

thx to you overzealous guys I sold almost 750 ori for 7,8 silver EACH. Still can’t believe it… I’m definitely going to wait until everyone calms down until I start crafting further to 500. (or sooner to 450 cuz of time gated refinements)

kinda funny how people are focusing on ori ore. I assume refining ancient wood planks can also get you to level 425.

O_O what the puppy!?!? ancient wood log jumped wayyyyyy more than ori. buy listings to 14s.

Turns out we’ll be needing alot of orichalcum and ancient wood. Alot more than you think.

I’m at 480 weaponsmithing and 480 Huntsman and burned through 270 orichalcum ingots and 280 ancient wood planks.

Talking about the ancient wood logs and ori, I’m making (at most) around 1.5g with an outing of logging/mining between the two zones. Prices are insane right now – in a good way for the seller.

I spent so much on ore/wood getting just Huntsman to 500, and I stocked up on a good bit ahead of time. I’m not sure how/if it’s expected for most people to be able to do this? Even if the prices drop a bit over time, it’s still going to be extremely costly. I had figured we would get more XP for the ascended refinements, but nope :o

Once you are level 500, your usage of wood and ori will drop significantly. It is not like you will need to level to 500 again and again.

I just reached 500 weaponsmithing and 500 huntsman.

I used up over 500 orichalcum ingots and over 500 ancient wood planks.
