Volcanus - Any tips?
Start doing your orichalcum every day. Depending on your server, look up a map of where they all are (12 nodes in all, 5 in cursed shore, 5 in malchors and 2 in frostgorge) get all of these every day.
Pick up ghost peppers along the way, sell the orichalcum, the orbs, any ancient wood, or omnomberries you picked up.
Do CoF everyday. path 1 and/or 2. Even after youve got your gift of baelfire. If you have extra tokens you wish to get rid of, trade 30 tokens for a piece of rare gear and salvage it for ecto chance to sell.
Do SE everyday. Path 3 right now is your best hope.
Do your daily and your monthly every day/every month
Get the eldritch scroll asap from lions arch
You will most likely have everything but the moltens and the destroyers by the time you get all your ghost peppers, at which point its time to do some math.
shards become cores which become lodestones. Keep this in mind.
For example, if cores are 50s and lodestones are 1g 50s it’s worth it to mystic forge rather than buy straight up.
50s + 50s (both cores) + 25s 60c (elonian wine) + 2s (crystalline dust) + 1 crystal (3/5ths of a skillpoint) = 1g 27s 60c which is less than 1g 50s. Saving you money on lodestones if you have extra skillpoints (which you probably will)
Depending on how longterm you plan to make this goal here are some benchmarks
250 ghost peppers – 20 days (assuming you get about 15 ghost peppers a day, which is what I usually get per orichalcum run)
1 eldritch scroll – 25 days (assuming you are doing path 1-2 CoF and path 3 SE every day, that’s 2.1skillpoints a day)
100 mystic coins – 2 months ( 30 days a month = 30 coins + 20 for the monthly. Means 2 months for 100 coins)
180g – 4 months (If you’re getting your orichalcum, your daily, and a path or two of CoF/SE every day this should work out for you) This should probably be enough to get you quite a lot of your lodestones
Overall playtime every day – It will probably take you about 30 minutes to do your orichalcum, 30 for your daily or so, and then an hour for the CoF paths. 2 hours every day for about 4 months.
you will need 350 molten lodestones, they are not so expensive, so just buy them or farm CoF for them
you will need 500 badges from CoF for Gift of Baelfire
you will need 100 destroyer lodestones and they are very expensive, you can farm mobs(dredges, i think in norn’s 70-80 lvl zone) for money and miner’s bags, you have chance to get from it destroyer core/lodestone
Use magic find gear when you are doing these runs :-)
Is GW2 a game or a virtual casino?
Use magic find gear when you are doing these runs :-)
Yes definitely use MF, also make sure the rest of your group is wearing MF gear. That way you can all leech off each other^^. Don;t forget to wait for resses when you die, no point running from the waypoint 5 yards away and always run 100% galss canon – pew pew pew.
Yes, if you couldn;t guess I was being sarcastic. MF doesn;t effect chests (confirmed) only drops from the mobs. MF is a primary stat (as oppose to secondary) on gear and as such reduces your power by 300 on exotics compared to exotics with power as a primary.
MF gear has no survivability stats and if you’re condition speced its useless. Basically, if you want to do fast efficient runs then use proper gear. It doesn;t matter how good you are, if you did an amazing run with MF, you will do it even better with proper gear.
Running MF gear for potentially 1-2 yellows can cost your team time and potentially result in unnecessary wipes/ deaths. Why should others have to carry your weight – if people want to do dungeons in MF gear they should do 5 man runs together. Otherwise, MF has no role in efficient dungeon completion.
I really wish there was a /inspect. I have no problems people running with greens to do story modes/ lower dungeons but if those greens or yellows have MF I would ask them to leave. I have run full MF on my thief and full exotic and I can tell you the difference is night and day. Neither time I would die but running with the exotic results in 20-30% faster runs.

+100500 to this,
Magic Find not for dungeons.
btw in MF gear you will inflict less damage to mobs, less damage=less loot(tested)
and you will be glass cannon without damage in rthis gear
