I’m starting to debate whether this is worth it.. I currently have 36 of these, I don’t care about celestial armor and there are no other recipes..

Yes since it’s just a small side trip after(or sometimes just before) killing Shadow Behemoth.

Every day. There are no other recipes yet, but you know what replaced wind up spring watchworks? Quartz crystals. You don’t think the introduction of Charged Quartz and now watchwork sprockets is a coincidence do you?

rng. I have gotten more than one several times and also got 2 charged crystals from it.

It is a silly node though I would have to agree. Takes forever to get over there by free teleports or you end up paying half of what you would make on the tp in teleport fees. They should have put it in Lion’s Arch where everyone is all the time, like making the instance right next to the bank.

The personal node is kinda silly though, it only gives 3…

You can get upwards of 18 from a personal node in a single day without considering the chance at getting a Charged Crystal Quartz. I’ve looted my node and charged my Quartz every day and have gotten one bonus Charged Crystal Quartz from my node. I’ve also looted 13 Quartz as my personal highest (there’s a chance, when looting, to loot 5+1 Quartz with one strike).

The two “best” loots from your node are the 5+1 strikes and the Charged Crystal Quartz.

Yes, but not because I care to make Celestial gear (particularly with ascended gear on the way). I’m doing so because my borderline-OCD makes me want 250 of every item in the collectibles tab.

Up to 51 Charged Quartz now. Today will be my last batch of 25 Quartz, so production will slow after this, but I fully intend on charging another quartz every time I get 25 normal Quartz.

I still dont understand why you can charge only one per day. I mean… it’s already limited due to the fact that theres only the nodes in home instances left, so why couldnt they just remove that additional limitation? You have to admit, it’s really kind of silly.

They’re pretty good if you’re using them for jewel upgrades. Independently though, they’re meh. I wouldn’t buy an Armor piece that has all the stats because they’re all so low due to equal distribution.

Depending on the profession they come out as a much better survival with slight less DPS alternative to straight berserker, for the armor itself that is.

Because they wanted it to be time constrained more than money constrained. Even though you can only mine them once per day, you can buy as many as you want. By doing it this way, it’s time constrained, and will be money constrained also if/when they release something people really want that uses them. (Like precursors.)

You can buy them off the TP so the home instance node doesn’t limit much. Of course there is not as much as when the four winds was happening but unless we need it for all the upcoming ascended weapons we will never run out of quartz on the TP.

If I’m on, and if I remember, I usually make one. I horded a good amount of them, when they were still only 1g per stack, for future use and profit. Though due to their sheer amount of time-gatedness, which they are about to share with the new t7 mats, my guildies and I have been wondering if they might be used toward building the precursors in the future.

Since it has been stated as…

“Building your precursor will require a large amount of the new crafting material rewards listed above, 500 in crafting, and likely a combination of other items earned for completing more specific content in the game.”

The charged quartz would be right up the time-gated ally of precursor building.

We’ll never know what ArenaNet is planning for the future. It would be better to keep making them now rather than finding out you’d need a boat load of them for something cool further down the road and have to rush to catch up.

I don’t make them religiously every single day or anything, but I do carry at least 25 of them on every character and if I come across a place of power I’ll make one.

I’ve missed a couple of days of mining my personal instance and charging, but I’m around 52 charged quartz and ~450-550 quartz left. I’ll most likely keep 225 or so in my bank just in case quartz is ever needed for anything by itself.

^ Same. XD My mule character is parked permanently in Divinity’s Reach, and he (used to) hold all my spare stock of Quartz Crystals. All he does is go into Salma District to harvest the quartz, and then take a short trip out to Shaemoor to charge it.

I still have a full stack of Quartz in my bank in case Quartz itself becomes needed for something else. My mule just holds any excess, and whenever he hits 25, he goes out for a charge.

Yeah, still charging it. Not making Celestial gear, though, seeing as they plan to kill it next update.

Celestial gear will lose for sure it’s useless magic find stat for something better on the next patch, on top of this quartz and charged quartz could be used to raise some point in the next crafting update, Maybe only with the discovery of celestial recipe so keep on gathering and charging it!!

I think you’re mixing up cause and effect. The prices are rising because other players think ascended weapons are going to require charged quartz too.
