Guild Wars 2

Is there another way to get my obsidian shards besides balthazar? The event is clearly broken for too long and no one even cares that much of the karma gear or temples.
I’ve got 525k karma waiting for balthazar to get my shards for gift of mastery…….

Fractals apparently exchange fragments for obsidian shards.

Dragonbrand had it open for a little while yesterday. I was at a claw event and brought up opening up Temple of Balthazar, then went to Lions Arch and spammed. Ended up with about 40 people out there doing the event.

From what I’ve seen the North path for us hasn’t bugged yet, it’s just getting the temple itself open. IMO, it’s one of the hardest.

The only two ways are the temple of bathsalts (hehe i mean balthazar) with karma.
Or fractals with the fractal token transactions.

You don’t have nearly enough Karma for a Legendary yet. I just used a stack of Shards to get 61 Clovers. I’ll still need more Shards for the remaining 16 I need, then another stack for Gift of Mastery.

This is true except he was talking specifically about the Gift Of Mastery in which case 525K karma is spot on for a stack of 250.

The Gift Of Fortune is going to take a fair amount of work too!

I know how you feel. I have my legendary and i had to wait a few times for the temple.

In general wait for a server reset and when the server comes up go do the events and unlock it yourself.
This chain is very buggy and it’s pretty much perma down!

Also, if you wanna have a more fun time making your legendary, do clovers before gift of mastery, that way you can calculate exactly what you ned for your legendary and when you’ll get it!

i had originally wanted to get the gift of mastery as well so i’m close to 200+ shards now (half still in karma form) b ut i was thinking about it, since the event is always so buggy.. it would suck to have thought i’d gotten enough and then turns out i’d be missing 2 clovers and had to wait a week for the temple to open again.

gonna get clovers out of the way first, and then go for mastery gift : ))

good luck! and you can also play fractals, 15 fractal relics for one obsi shard, iirc.
