Guild Wars 2

Hello all,

Sorry if this is basic and people already know it, but a search only turned up people having confusion or trouble making it.

So as you may guess from the tile I am totally confused on armor box sets. I would like any and all info you may be able to provide but my main questions are the following:

1) is this cost efficient?
2) does it work with any armor set that is craftable
( guess i should have asked this before making my entire exo knights set for my war).
3) i have seen numerous posts referencing the "raising price of Bottle of Elonian Wine " isn’t that vendor purchased so how is it changing?
4) once you “make” the recipe in the forge can you then create the armor box of that type as many times as you would like just like any other recipe i purchase using karma?
5) and lastly is this something you would mainly want to do to outfit your own toon when you want to craft the full set?

Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this and any light you can shine on this for me.

Well with this many views and no responses yet the question is either VERY dumb or it is as confusing to everyone else as it was to me :-)

I remember Anet saying something about bring the mats used to craft boxes/satchels in line with crafting the set separately, though I don’t think it ever happened. Last I knew, the boxes/satchels were far to costly to even bother with, especially now that prices of materials have gone up.

I think its better to craft the items you need, use karma, or use dungeon tokens. I believe boxes/satchels were a complete fail from the start.

ok thank you very much for that. I thought I was missing something as I couldn’t find the benefits.

I can answer your #4 at least, once you make the recipe in the Forge and consume it you can make the box/satchel as often as you want, providing you are willing to accumulate the large stacks of stuff you need.

Thanks for answering #4 kozai
