Guild Wars 2

Simply put, the sub-filter for upgrade components -> weapons always returns nothing. It doesn’t seem to work at all. This makes it impossible to browse for only sigils, you have to shuffle through all of the armor runes as well. Please fix this.

EDIT: Just checked to be sure. Weapon upgrade component filter returns jewels but not sigils. Not very useful.

Some of the filters are misnamed. There are actually more filters than what is shown, but for whatever reason, they haven’t included them.

Annoying ain’kitten

If you want to search for Sigils, do this….

Type “sigil” into the search bar….
Select the Filter drop down….
Then, select either Masterwork, Rare, or Exotic.

The results will be limited to the selected rarity.

I just tried it, filtering for Rare, and it returned 59 items…..56 Sigils and 3 recipe sheets for Major Sigil of the Night.

Yeah that works, thanks. This was driving me nuts, the search field can’t handle multiple words unless they are exact, apparently.

Actually, the search field searches for ALL words typed in (up to six words). If you type the correct words in the correct order, it will list that item first, but it will also return every item on the Trading Post that contains ANY of the six words you typed in. Any words typed in after the sixth word are ignored.

It’s a very clumsy way of searching and returning items, but if you pay attention to how items you searched for are returned, you start seeing patterns. Once you identify those patterns, you can LIMIT the words you type into the search field, then start using the filters to narrow down the list of items returned.

Also, you can only search text that is in the item’s name. You can not search for stats or features of an item. For example, if you search for “power”, the returned items will be ones with “power” in their name, like “Powerful Venom Sac”, instead of armor or weapons with +Power as a stat.

There are so many quality of life changes that could be made, just to searching and filtering, on the Trading Post. It makes my head spin sometimes. I love the TP. It’s SO easy to buy and sell items….if you know EXACTLY what you’re looking for. If you don’t, it’s a real pain trying to find something.

Except when I type “Sigil” and it returns pages of “runes”

Really? That’s very odd.

I just typed “sigil” into the search field, using no filters, and hit “Search”.

It returned 179 items. All items had the word “Sigil” somewhere in its title. 170 items were actual Sigils (Minor, Major & Superior) and 9 items were crafting recipes (3 Major / 6 Superior).
