Something I continue to see as an issue with some veteran players (via screenshots shared) is bank space sections being completely dedicated to storing bloodstone dust.

I know Arena Net has created some back pieces that allow you to feed the dust to, but I’m thinking of an alternative that might be a bit more rewarding to the players and far easier to manage. I’m not sure how difficult it would be for Arena Net to implement this system, but here it goes.

The idea is: every 4 stacks of Bloodstone Dust you acquire (1000 dust total), you can put all 4 stacks into the Mystic Forge and be rewarded with a Bloodstone Orb. Every orb can be placed in your standard bank materials section for a total of 250 by default, and rising if players purchase additional space with gems – like they can with all other materials.

Then if players need to use their dust, they take the Orb to someone who is standing near the Mystic Forge and that person, when given the Orb, will reward you with a chest that, when opened, will deliver 4 stacks of Bloodstone Dust to you.

This would likely not even be a quick fix / change because the following would need to be done on Arena Net’s part:

- Creation of an orb-specific vendor / NPC.

- Additional material wallet slot for Bloodstone Orbs.

- Mystic Forge Recipe Implementation

- Delivery system for the 4-stack Bloodstone chest.

An additional idea that was presented to me (as I shared this idea elsewhere to see if it was an idea worth posting about before I came here) was to offer the option, to players who obtain a set amount of Orbs, to take their orbs to said vendor who will give players certain rewards for higher amounts of orbs brought to them. Maybe 100 orbs will grant you a certain number of skill points, and 250 will give you an ascended trinket of your choosing.

Thoughts?

Give me a frag and ore sinks first, then I will worry about all the dust that Mawdrew can’t keep up with.

not worth the SP required. 3g22s / 20 SP = only gives 16s/SP.
I absolutely make these whenever the game throws a lesser vision crystal at me, but there are much better uses of SP.

I know that there are better uses for your skillpoints.
But atm there seem to be enough people that deem 3g profit worthy of their 20 skillpoints and 500 each dust/shard/ore.

I don’t see the point of this idea. Craft bloodstone brick for the amount that you think you will need in the future, make mawdrey and make mawdrey 2 eat all the remaining bloodlust. Its not like it’s hard to get by, if you need more in the future just stop using mawdry and your stock will replenish.

They already gave us a way to dispose of our bloodlust, it would be better if they gave us a way to dispose of another thing, like empyreal fragment.

See, this seems reasonable, but here’s my problem, and I doubt I am alone in this: I make daily ~1 stack of Bloodstone Dust just from running my usual dungeon tour and then faffing about in Silverwastes. Usually what I make daily gets eaten by Mawdrey, but there are leftovers and the ~150 stacks of Bloodstone Dust on my mules are giggling in their safety.

TL;DR: Mawdrey is not enough.

And, dear god, we desperately need a (better) Mawdrey for Empyreal Fragments, they are starting to rival my Bloodstone stock because of the dungeon end rewards. I am okay with Dragonite atm, I only have ~30 stacks, but it’s only getting higher… Oh, and look at all those players who don’t have enough to craft their gear, and me (and assuredly others) standing on this stockpile with no use for it. Now, if only there were an obvious solution to this…

Or just make it 1/100 of the amounts needed. We need always 100 of those anyway, so why just not drop it and use it by this factor?

Ya true. I did so much dungeon in the first year and a half that right now I only do like 2 paths per week when my guildmates ask me to join. So right now I can slowly decrease my amount of bloodlust in my bank with mawdrey 2. But Silverwaste is also a huge source of bloodlust. So if you are doing dungeon and silverwaste you are doom lol. Don’t know why you can’t make mawdrey 2 eat more than 3-5 times per day. They should remove that limit.

hehehehehehe; yeah.

you might be surprised with how many people complained how many months it would take them to collect enough bloodstone / dragonite / empyreal (everyone said they were swimming in one and not the other two). people still complain about that.

I don’t know why they did Mawdrey II like they did. They could of easily made her unlimited use and consume 1 stack per gift and people still would of thrown all the bloodstone at her.

I posted a suggestion for excess ascended mats in another post I thought was pretty good. It would only remove leftover junk from the game, not add any unwanted consequences:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Request-to-Anet-Asc-mats-items/first#post4579160

It could even be something as simple as an achievement for donations, then open a vendor on wintersday where you can donate stuff to count towards that achievement. ascended mats, blade shards, queen’s gauntlet tickets, all other past LS currencies, other mats, junk, items, etc. could all be donated and count toward the achievement. You could complete the achievement 100 times (like that entropy achievement) and every 1000 value donated gives 1 AP. after the 100 tiers, you get a title: ‘Generous’. you just adjust the value of each thing donated (ascended mats would be 1, blade shard would be 5, an exotic trinket would be 200, jute scrap would be 10, etc.)
