Guild Wars 2

So this is the idea I came up with that could help normalize the market for endgame materials. Since ecto prices is going down below 20s thanks to world events and dungeon rares and are now worth more less than half of Crystalline Dust, I feel this would bring the endgame market in a state that is less frustrating for players. There are clear cut ways of obtaining ecto that everyone knows about. However with T6 mats, which you need 2000 of to make a legendary, there are very few farm spots that don’t have a very good yield and are vastly inferior to CoF1 farming, which leads to high prices if people would rather farm gold to buy them instead of farming them.

So my suggestion would be, introduce a simple vendor that allows you to buy any T6 mat for the price of 1 ecto. What do you think?

Mystic Clovers.

Indeed. Rising t6 prices just make mystic clovers all the more profitable.

Mystic Clovers are pointless after you get the amount you need for the legendary. If only players could exchange those for something else or downgrade them to some materials it would be an effective way of introducing T6 materials.

Even assuming Mystic Clovers are a loss, once Ectos become cheap enough, and t6 mats become expensive enough, the Mystic Clover recipe will become profitable (if it isn’t already)

I had already started considering this a couple weeks ago… I’m figuring ecto ~15s and average t6 mat minus bone and venom is around 30s… that’ll be around the time to start crafting.

As someone who did his 77 clovers when ectos were 32s (took 371 ectos), 10 recipe is super cheap now.

10 ecto – 1.9g
10 coins – 3s

You can get 10 ectos from world events per day if you hit them all.

I guess the clover recipe is a semi-viable way to do this, but as someone on reddit pointed out (http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/1fz00a/best_way_imo_to_acquire_t6_mats/caf823j) if the price for the t6 mats isn’t high enough and/or you get unlucky, you lose money. It’s sort of like the rune/sigil gambling.

I want less gambling in this game and more guaranteed ways of getting things.

You said it brother.. I’m sitting at my job, just knowing I could be working from home right now but noooooo I have to be in the office for a pointless meeting. I need to create some random doctor appointment ahead of time I think.

actually, I like something like the OPs idea better. maybe a mixture of the two? salvaging an ecto returns a random fine T6 material?

Haha, pretty funny how this turned out. I like the change to Crystalline Dust, the price was way out of control and I’m glad they fixed that. I do believe how ever that other T6 mats should be tied to Ecto prices as well, as Mystic mentioned above.
