Guild Wars 2

There are only two things that majorly disappoint me:

1. You are not able to turn in ascended mats into supply boxes. I have so many stacks of those useless things and I was eagerly waiting for the festival to start hoping I’d get a chance to turn them something useful. Seems I need to start deleting them.

2. Fortune Scraps gone and so is the option to turn them in. I’ve exactly 205 fortune scraps left. I was storing them in case new rewards would pop up but not only you introduced new tokens but the specialist also no longer accepts them. Maybe I missed a note about this so my bad. Still annoying. Should I delete them or will they ever be useful again?

Actually what disappoints me most is that I’ve to always scour the forum or the wiki for this info. As far as I can tell the web blurb did not mention anything about this.

Well there are still good things. I loved the crystal hunt as much this year as I did last year. I could spend days on those but unfortunately I got all of them in a few days. Please add more similar “scavenger puzzles” around the world and a title with them. Not just regular JPs.

Actually I want to see an extremely high JP with narrow ledges, wind, storms, and other obstacles. Something that takes hours to scale but also has unlockable waypoints like the tower of nightmares so it can be done over multiple days. The waypoints should stay unlocked even if you log off until you complete the puzzle. Think Tequatl level jumping challenge – without the need to organize whole map.

You can still turn in Fortune Scraps at the Black Lion Weapons Specialist for account bound skins.

Use them to unlock skins like the windcatcher backpieces, if you haven’t already unlocked those.

They are very expensive if you have to buy them from the trading post.

You can still use Fortune Scraps at the Weapon Specialist. Just have to have them in your inventory when you talk to them. Gold Scraps, oddly enough, don’t seem to bring up the option by talking to the weapon specialist, but you can double-click the scrap and bring up the trade window that way.

As for the ascended mat exchange… I’m sure a ton of people would like that, but I doubt it’d happen since the mats I assume you’re talking about (Bloodstone, Empyreal, Dragonite) are all account-bound and not meant to be something you can sell or otherwise make gold off of (aside from a few rather inefficient recipes that use Bloodstone).

Ah thanks. I didn’t know they changed it so that you actually have to carry the scraps. The specialist used to show the option even if you were not carrying any. Now it doesn’t. Time to unlock that lightning catcher.

Yeah I was talking about Bloodstone, Empyreal & Dragonite. I hope they figure out some other use for those except your regular ascended stuff. They are not very cost effective way to use them. Especially now that the ascended items are account bound. I’ve a mule whose bags are filled with stacks of them.
