Guild Wars 2

I guess they found a way to get all that silk off the market

100 bolts of silk per day need to make damask compared to 50 mithril ingots, think leather squares, or elder wood planks.

With the recent change to silk scraps, that’s 300 silk scraps per day compared to 100 mithril ore or elder wood logs.

Was that really necessary?

It is because an insignia only requires cloth (> 3 bolts of damask for ascended), compared to inscriptions which require metal AND wood (> 3 deldrimor steel ingots AND 3 spiritwood planks).
So to be consistent with the amount of t5 needed, they made damask require 100 silks.

Just a theory.

That actually makes good sense and seems fairly reasonable.

That works for medium and heavy, but those of us that need damask for our armor as well have to go through nearly 10k silk scraps to make one set. It’s not super expensive or anything, but it’s still a ton of silk.

That is an insane amount of silk.

And yet Silk Scraps are still only 17 copper on the TP. XD

Did you check the availability? it’ll probably take a few days to burn through that :P
