Guild Wars 2

Hi every1,

I will need 100 charged lodestones for my Bolt.
Is if it worth to craft them trough Mystic Forge with recipe:

2x Core + 1x Crystal + 1x Bottle of Elonian wine + 1x Pile of Crystalline=
According to spidy if i place buy orders it would cost around:

2 * 1,08g + 1SP + 0,25g + 0,23g = 2,64g while Lodestones Buy Order is around 2.9g atm.
So theoretically it should work. For 100 pc it should result a 26 gold spare.

My question: Is it working in practice? Worth doing it this way?

Thank you for your answers.

I think it’s worth it. I also need 100 for Sunrise (The only thing I’m missing are the lodestones) and I’ve been farming them for a few hours each day this week. I’ve been farming at the gates of Arah, which seems to be the best place, and at Malchor’s Leap. And man, they are pretty rare. I’ve been getting about 1 lode per hour spent. Once I got 2 within 40 minutes, once I didn’t get any for 2 hours. It’s pure luck. I run with roughly 100% magic find. Have to admit, it’s not really worth the time and effort.

I think I’ll just start farming gold and buying cores. Even though dust is one of the most expensive tier 6 mats, it still saves a lot in the end. And dust price doesn’t shift so much.

Core and Lodestone prices are linked making it so that the price of converting to lodestones is about 15% less than the price of buying the lodestone, due to people who convert for profit. Because of this, it will always be cheaper to make them yourself if you intend to use them. However, the skill points used to convert them of are more value to you than many other people since you need 200 for the Bloodstone Shard and a lot for the Mystic Clovers, so make sure to account for that.

Thank you for the answers.
I have now the precursor, clovers and bloodstone shard as well. The only thing i miss is few hundred T6 and the weapon gift.
