Guild Wars 2

“players will salvage Essence of Luck from Fine and Masterwork gear and from Globs of Ectoplasm”

….very concerned by this change simply b/c Ectos were already an overstressed commodity that obviously has started becoming less common ever since people stopped running World Events this month.

Price of dust will go up?

You still get them from ectos. The luck is going to be additional just like you will keep getting raw mats from fine and masterwork gear and luck.

The dust price may still rise because they appear to be an ingredient in most ascneded weapon recipes from the dev livestream earlier that messed upour economy even more..

You do realize how BAD this would be in the middle of a massive increase in demand for T6’s, right?? ….unless this update also comes with a change that REMOVES Ectos from the Clover recipe…. Bad Bad Bad things are going to happen.

Asudementio.8526:

Already happened. T6 dust shot up 8s but is now coming back down as more ectos are salvaged to fill the supply gap.

Ectos are still up 6s from earlier when supply was drained from 36k to 6k in 20 minutes. Supply back up to 23K.

I wouldn’t know.

On one hand, you have dust being used as a recipe for ascended material from those who want it

On the other, you have dust being sold of from those who get it from ectos when they really just wanted the essence of luck.

Overall I think dust will continue to rise. I think there will be more who will bank the ectos for their own personal use rather than sell

wait what?

There’s a ceiling on how many Lucks you’ll ever need…. exactly 300 of ‘em according to this. T6’s though … okay I have no idea the number needed either … I wouldn’t know.
But, I’;m guessing it’s more than 300 if past patterns are any indicator, especially for those of us who want 500 rank in all 3 disciplines

300% is the cap for MF. It is not the the number of essences of luck that you need. Each essence raises your luck bar and each full bar gives you 1% MF. They have already mentioned that each % of MF is going to require more and more essences of luck. If they keep the formula the same as exp it would require around 5million essences to get to +100%MF (including the 20 everyone will be getting).
