Guild Wars 2

Hello there,

First of all, I did a quick search to check if anyone already addressed this issue. I found only one post vaguely related, but since the issue wasn’t explicitly pointed out, I figured I better create a dedicated thread about that.

So, let’s get on the subject : I think there’s an issue on how the stats are considered primary/secondary on the Emerald jewel. This jewel is supposed to fit into the “Knight” category, which has “Power/precision/toughness” on it. Power and precision are secondary, and toughness is primary.

It appears that on the exquisite emerald jewel, and only on that upgrade components, the primary/secondary repartition is messed up. As you can see on the link below, this jewel has Precision as the primary stats, and power/toughness as secondaries. I thought that normally it would be toughness as primary, and the rest secondary.

This jewel is used in order to craft the following trinkets (see links), and all of them have the correct primary/secondary stats on them.

Here comes the question all of you have already guessed : Is this supposed to be like that ? Isn’t there a confusion on the jewel about which stat is primary (supposedly toughness and not precision) ?
Or maybe this is intended ?

If it’s intended, then why do other jewels follow the same repartition as the trinket they go with ?

Many thanks in advance for any clues about that, or a clear answer from Anet.
Regards.

edit : After doing some more search, it seems that it’s the emerald stone in itself that doesn’t respect the same order as the trinkets it is used for. All emeralds (shard, crystal and orb) have the same “Precision (primary)/ Power (secondary) /Toughness (secondary)” repartition. But since it could be a mistake from Anet, my question still holds ^^

I believe it’s merely a typo bug, as all of those stuff will have toughness as primary and power/prec as secondary. I will double check when I log-in but I’ve been working under those assumptions on the basis that my armor toughness can get up to 1.9k (so around 3k armor total) whereas both my power and prec are on the same level.

I forgot the possibility of a typo. I don’t have time right now, but I will check later to see if the numbers add up correctly or not.
Thanks for your input, keep me updated with what you find on your end !

Its a typo of the website. As you can see from the actual jewelry created, the primary stat is Toughness.

As you can see, if you take the time to click the links I provided, the primary/secondary stats are not the same one for the trinkets and for the jewel.

I would gladly have provided a screen capture from my Jewelcrafting panel, but the tooltip does not appear when I take a screenshot
And as I said, every other jewel in game has the same stats as its jewel, except for this one, which is weird.

Anyway, I’ll try to submit a report in game, and keep an eye on this thread if anybody from Anet gives an answer.

Shameless bump. I’m quite surprise by the lack of reactions to this issue. There’s like a big mistake, and no answer from anyone. That’s weird.

Best way to check for sure is to equip a jewel and unequip and see thr difference.

To be honest to most its most likely not that big of an issue. My self for example find the extra precision to be more useful.
