Guild Wars 2

It’s really nerfed everywhere? How do i acquire those materials?

Lvl 80 zones and dungeons like Orr; Frostgorge Sound; Southsun Cove; Crucible of Eternity and Fractals of the Mists.
Other might argue the Trading Post.
Nowadays t6 mats are considered lucky drops.
Don’t get your hopes up to high. You’ll most likely be in for a big disappointment.
Most would suggest you farm the Citadel of Flame dungeon which is by far the best money maker in the game and use the proceeds to buy t6 mats on the trading post.

Honestly if you want T6 materials than it is a lot faster to farm gold and than buy them unfortunately. For example do one run in CoF and it takes about 8-10 minutes (more or less depending on your group). That run will get you about a gold so if you want the most expensive mat which is about 30 silver so you get 3.33 mats for that time. There is nowhere were you can get that kind of return.

So, i need to fun CoF with MF gear? Will i be kicked doing this?

if you join a group asking for zerkers, yes you will be kicked.

if you join a random, any-class pug, they may kick you if they find out you’re in mf gear, as most people consider it a really selfish move to wear mf gear in a dungeon group. if you’re concerned about it and/or wanna not be carried just to maximize your own profits, i would try to form a static group with other ppl wearing mf gear and run it together.

At the mystic toilet, using obsidian, mystic coins, ectos and philosophers stones.

I also pray to the gods of RNG, but they rarely answer.

Laurels →Heavy Crafting Bag→ tons of mats

Laurels ->Heavy Crafting Bag-> tons of mats

According to the wiki, those bags just drop 3 materials, THREE…

Also, Laurels are used for ascended trinkets.

Id say farm orr for heavy moldy bags, and hey who knows maybe santa comes early this year and gives you a precursor

That means you have 30-80silver from 1 laurel.
Yesterday I converted 158 laurels into craftingbags so now I got mats worth about 100G and Im in a half way to my third legendary.
Ascended amulets are better than exotics just by 3% – IMO not worth.

Run Temples, then use the Obsidian Mystic Toilet recipe…

Guest to NSP around 6pm if you need a hands-on showing of how each Temple is beaten. (Balthazar usually begins after 7 tho)

Lost Orrian Jewellery Boxes are a far easier supply of Obsidians.

I guess it all depends on how often your server Does Balth…

Really… that just furthers my hidden message there, quite elegantly I’d add (the Boxes you mention): It’s all a gamble now b/c that’s apparently how Anet wants it. The entire point…. is that they don’t want T6’s being the classic definition of Farmable and dropping too often from any one set of exploitable mobs. (especially crystal dust apparently?).

I was attempting to make the point in a more … “here’s where you can sign up” helpful sort of way tho…

I suppose, but I’ve got 3 stacks of obsidians to use up, all from the boxes. I don’t need to spend an awful lot of time on Balthazar. On our server it turns into a commander party in order to attract everyone’s attention and even then it often fails because of lost Morale.

I spend my hard earned Karma on the boxes during guild karma parties, get loot and recycle the unknown items for gold and the karma items for more boxes. The Obisdians go into storage until I have ectos, coins and skill points available, for more loot.

No need to visit Balthazar at all. Probably working as intended too.

Wait, i’m lost here. Do i need obsidian shards to create T6?

They are trying to talk about the recipe used for Mystic Clovers, which has a random chance to give a bunch of materials, including T6 mats.

Ignore their discussion, though. This is a very poor way to acquire T6 mats.

It suits my playing style and patience levels just fine.

Idk man, everytime i use that i either get my Mystic Clovers or ~20g worth in items (i got 10 Lodestones last time =D ), but i guess if you have your clovers it’s a bit of a waste…

I normally just save up all my Karma jugs until i have ~40 of them, then i grab those, a karma booster, guild banner of karma, guild karma booster etc and just cycle through orrian jewelry boxes for like an hour until i run out of karma….

If you have Mystic Clovers (which are only used for Legendaries, so there isn’t anything to do with the excess) and Obsidian Shards (same deal, they are only used for Legendaries and a single ugly shield), it’s a huge waste. Especially considering how the OP here wants T6 mats, and the recipe requires ectos, which have basically the same price as most T6 mats.

If you’re looking to monetize your laurels, you’re better off getting the coin boosters than T6 mats.

As for ascended amulets, you can get 20% gold find/magic find in them. Better.
