Guild Wars 2

No, I’m not complaining about the price – I have a question. I have a fair amount of these in my possession that I’ve been saving, all of which I gathered from drops. They haven’t been selling at what I used to post them for, so I’m assuming whoever would buy up to my price isn’t in the market anymore. My question is: should I sell what I have right now, or wait and see if (whenever they decide to implement it) a precursor scavenger hunt would make them more in demand due to the Juggernaut crafters? The only sticking point here is that the scavenger hunt may be pretty far off on the horizon.

The hunt will probably be far in the future, but it’s reasonable to expect that they’ll increase drop rates of them or make a more reliable way to get them sooner than that.
Which will obviously tank the price immediately since everyone will want out.
But who knows how long that’ll be.

I’m not so sure the scavenger hunt is far off in the future. I’m thinking that it’s going to be within six months, due to the Mystic Binding Agents that come out in stacks of 10 for 10 tokens from the daily tokens to be released sometime in the estimated first half of the year.

The reasoning behind it is because 5 of those tokens also gives 5 Obsidian Shards, and the simple name ’Mystic binding agent" sounds like it would be useful for MAKING a precursor….not to mention I could see it to be a necessity to have to a daily 250 times as part of a “scavenger hunt” to make a precursor.

I’m personally hoping that the Mystic Binding Agents are a MF ingredient that’s used to upgrade Exotic items to Ascended ones. Put the Exotic item in along with MBA’s, an Infusion, and maybe some Obsidian/Ectos, and out pops an Ascended version of the same item with an empty Infusion slot. This method also permanently fixes the upgrade bonuses, so you’d need to be absolutely sure that this is the final setup you wanted!
