Guild Wars 2

I understand you can get them from the mystic forge, aether blades and not so secret parkour challenge. The problem is I need 250 currently… At the mystic forge you need watchwork sprockets which don’t give you many shards but cost quite a bit, aether blades only drop it rarely and the jumping puzzle is just irritating to do. Is there an easy way of doing this? I really don’t have time for this when I’m trying to get 100% world completion…

if you have the sprocket node in your home world, you have a chance to get some from it.

Sorry to hear that you are lacking Bladeshards … I have stacks of em and Im still waiting for a way to spend em. That being said its the cost of missing the various living story chapters. I have similar but not exactly the same pain with regards to other Living story chapters so I honestly feel bad for ya. At least you are not completely blocked from acquiring the blade shards … there is absolutely no way for me to get the item I want.

they make it really easy to get 1 or 2 from aetherblades / watchwork node. which makes me think they want people using the MF to get those 250, as 250 via 1 or 2 at a time would take FOREVER.
btw, which spinal blades are you trying to make? it requires 250 for Advanced and 250 + 250 for Tempered + Gift of Blades

You also need another 500 for the Gift of Blades. Getting them now is pretty difficult but I guess they were meant to be gathered during the event like most LS related items.

I think making them trad-able would solve a lot of problems for a lot of people.

People asked for more account bound rewards, so people cant buy those rewards on the tp. This is what you get.

It is basically 30 gold worth of sprocket right?

Easiest way is try to find ways to make 30 gold.
