Guild Wars 2

Hello,

I’m working towards the Vial of Quicksilver recipe and at the moment there’s only 190 silver doubloons on tp and 60% of those are sold at ridiculous prices like 1g, and since silver doubloons drop at an horrendous rate could anet rework this recipe to take 250 silver idk filligrees or 250 silver bands something like that please?

If not, does anyone know how to farm silver doubloons ?

I agree something should be done. Silver Doubloons went up 10x in value over the last 2 weeks, and they are still rising.

Unfortunately there are people who have already collected a lot of doubloons and switching them out at this point wouldn’t be fair to them.

At most, Anet should consider reducing the amount required to 100-150, or make them farm-able either through the forge or up their drop rate in FotM and dungeon chests. Or just artificial deflate the market by periodically injecting them into the TP, and have the money used to purchase them go no where.

well yes, I figured that much… Let’s hope anet does something about this.

ArenaNet needs to introduce recipes for creating copper, silver, and even platinum doubloons. There’s already one for gold doubloons. I don’t see why the others were not included.

With barely enough on the TP (and at crazy prices) for one person in the whole game to buy and make the Vial of Quicksilver, something needs to change.

fair? they can change anything at anytime and it doesnt have to be fair. remember when a dungeon run was giving 30 tokens if you finished, and now you get 60, fair? at least t6 mats are farmable, even lodestones to a lesser point but farming silver doubloons? exactly how?… there is another thread suggesting to allow transmogrify copper doubloons the same way silver can be used to make gold, but who knows what and if they will do anything.

Honestly someone is probably buying them all in hopes of raising their prices. Someone already tried that in another thread on the BLTC forums with the very same item.

Pretty much all other gifts are made with craftable materials (except as far as i know, entertainment, color, and quicksilver). Hopefully next patch we can craft silver doubloons from copper which would be at least slightly fair.
edit: As far as i know from the wiki, silver doubloons are from chests only(no recipe).

There is a lot of discrepancies with the difficulty of certain legendary gifts being crafted easier than others. I made a thread about the imbalance of them. There is also a website that gives you the cumulative price of crafting any legendary breaking down the gifts.
Would be nice to get some feedback if it is something that is planning on being addressed anytime, or if we have to suck it up and deal with it.

Awesome, thank you for the links.

@shuguard meh that sucks I was hoping there was some way to farm silver doubloons >.> I only have one atm and that one was a guildy that gave me.

This thread needs more attention. I agree with OP. Its just weird for silver doubloons to be RNG.

I don’t believe that one should be able to create doubloons via crafting, as doubloons (and all Rare crafting materials) are obtained from drops only. However, I DO agree that we should be able to transmorgrify Copper Doubloons into Silvers, the same way we can upgrade Silvers to Golds, and Golds to Platinums. Copper Doubloons are a quest reward for Personal Stories, so this should help ease the shortfall.

Alternatively, the Gift of Quicksilver should be modified so it requires 150 Platinum Doubloons (to match the 150 Molten Lodestones) instead. If ANet deems that still too cheap for a Legendary Gift, change the 250 Steel Ingots to 250 Mithril Ingots as well.

When I said recipe I was thinking Transmogrify not actually making them from raw materials. I suppose copper ones wouldn’t apply.

Unless I’ve missed it, I didn’t think it was possible to transmogrify gold to platinum doubloons. Which makes it even more odd that silver to gold is the only possible one.

In quite a few threads it was stated by certain selfish TP flippers that they pretty much bought out the whole stock to up the prices.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this wasn’t done by a single person, but a whole bunch of them that currently piled up in their storage over 1k S.doubloons each.

Some of them must be reading this or similar threads and laughing their kitten off.

This would be fixed with recipe for silver doubloon. Nothing else needed.

Its all supply and demand. These things were going for 1-3 silver when i originally bought my stack of them for legendary. Very few people were going for jug and the only thing they are good for is the jug really. It only rose because of the precursor loot pinata.

If someone’s willing to buy it at 30+ silver each, then all you can do is wait (or place buy orders)

Ever heard of power trading?
Ever heard of catching a trend?

Some claim they “speed up the supply/demand process”. I swear that I wouldn’t bother with this game anymore if I didn’t have the means of obtaining gold just as fast.

TP flippers make me sick.

They don’t need to fix the recipe, they need to fix silver and gold doubloons. Right now gold doubloons are the only ones you can transmogrify, so the first step would be to add transmogrification recipes for silver and platinum doubloons. Also, silver and gold provide the same stat increase (+2% magic find) while gold requires a higher level, making it effectively worse where it is supposed to be better. Gold and platinum doubloons should each have their magic find values increased by 1%.

tl;dr:
Quick fix:
1. Add Transmogrify Silver Doubloon and Transmogrify Platinum Doubloon recipes to Jeweler.
2. Increase Gold Doubloon magic find to 3% and Platinum Doubloon magic find to 4%.

Also, if they’re making doubloon changes, they should add slots for them to the gems part of collectable storage too.
