Guild Wars 2

I was wondering, since I sometimes got 250 essence of luck (exotics), cant they add the crafting for the legendary essence of luck? Else I need to click all those stacks

Yes Essence of Luck can be refined with Artificer. No level requirement as far as I know.

one problem is that exotic is 200 luck and ascended is 500. you could do 10:2, but recipes that do that are always annoying to me. I would of preferred 10 rare = 1 legendary rather than 2 rare = 1 exotic. or, better would be 50 fine = 1 legendary (and 25 master = 1 legendary, etc)

After burning thru way to many gaming mice, I would recommend setting a double click macro if you are using a gaming mouse or keyboard. One that toggles on/off. Then it takes no time to clear the stack and doesn’t destroy your mouse or your finger with all that double clicking.

sigh, some of the buttons on my Naga epic are already starting to feel sluggish. It’s only a year old Though, how… how.. how.. are you having THAT many essence of luck? Must be some serious TP use going on there.

The way I normally do it is convert a tonne of greens up to exos, check how many I need to get the next 1% more MF then only click up that many. It’s up to about 35 or so now per 1%. Only have 135% MF or thereabouts. I hate clicking the essences and realise I’m short by a little.

Is the mouse macro against any rules? Do they detect this?

advice: if a auto-clicking macro is illegal, you would probably only get in trouble if you abused it. like setting it to click 1000 times a second to use a stack of luck in under a second. I doubt they would punish someone for setting it up to click as fast as you normally click – in which case it’s just doing what you would (and could) normally do but saving you your health.
(I believe a auto-clicking macro would technically be against their rules, because 1 click = using 250 essences of luck is not ‘1 click = 1 action’)

You guys are making this harder than it sounds.

Bind scroll wheel to left click. All you have to do is keep scrolling and you can go through a whole stack in about 15 seconds.

^THIS^
And this gets around any issues with a Macro that scripts multiple mouse clicks (that TECHNICALLY ARE against the EULA).

:O

Being an artificer certainly does have it’s merits. I keep one open stack of each type in my inventory for when I salvage stuff, and when a certain stack gets to 250, I condense that stack into it’s next highest level. So it’ll take me about 2 weeks to get a full stack of exotic essences to burn through (with regular daily play).

I saved up 2 stacks of exotic essences earlier and managed to get from high-162% to low 172%, so about 9.5% MF increase. And the climb is only getting steeper.

:P once you hit 218, it’s 150 exotic essences per 1% mf. so 3 stacks for 5% mf. My luck income REALLY slowed down when I had to spend like 4 hours of salvaging to gain 6% mf. I just stopped caring about more essences at that point, and stopped going out and buying them.

I think I’ll stop caring about MF once I get to 200% anyway. I’m tired of salvaging, salvaging… when I could be selling, selling.

personal i stack all the legendaries and the exotics i crafting them by the smaller . the reason is that the mf items are coming from salvaging loots and the game in the current state has very few farming locations ( groups of mobs for loot ).

i guess that if they want to raise a bit the difficulty of crafting the precursor , the legendary mf have a place in this crafting , because it is SUPER RARE and in every big update they gave us some of them

p.s. if i am not wrong i thing the crafting stops now in exotics , i do not know if they add the legendary mf and how many exotics will need , but after one year and 5 months of playing i have 17 legendaries essence of luck ….

Sounds about right.. I’ve kept all mine since they were introduced into the monthly completion rewards, but they’ve also been a part of the WvW S2 rewards too.
