Guild Wars 2

Will the daily gold bonus also be in effect for Fractals (i.e. Maw Daily Chest)? And if so, will it count as a long dungeon (3 gold)?

I would like to know this as well, it would be very cool if that is the case

I hope this applies to Fractals as well…as far as I’m concerned it’s a dungeon, just like the others.

Thanks Colin. Do these champion bags suffer diminishing returns from champ farming?

ColinJohanson.2394:

The gold bonus does not apply to fractals no, we will however continue to update both content and rewards in Fractals as the year progresses. For example: champion loot bags do indeed apply to Fractals of the Mists.

Thanks for the response! I’d really like to see some more rewards added to Fractals, since the rewards right now are very lackluster, especially higher levels, so it’s good to hear you are working on this.

how does the champ loot work in fractals? if i do end up doing the same fractal at a different difficulty does the same champ not drop the bag of goodies?

I really like the champion reward, it will make it worthwhile to do fractals alot more. But will the reward from champs be higher in the higher levels?(I guess not). And will the champ reward also aply for legendary bosses such as the jellyfush and most other final bosses.

So sad about the money
Good news about the champs since there are a bunch in there though

:(((((((((((((((((( pretty please?

Aren’t there no champions (except maybe the squire dude from the Ascalon one)? Aren’t all end bosses legendary (or whatever the purple is)?

Give us the option to turn in unwanted ascended rings/fractal weapons/stack of fractal relics for 1 pristine fractal relic.

And let us buy Fractal weapons of choice for 25 Pristine relics.

That will suffice for rewards

Also… Taking off the account bound from exotics in Fractals would be nice too…

yes, let’s reward people who run lvl10 more than ppl who run lvl48 and completely devalue existing fractal skins.

I would like to see a guaranteed exotic loot by running fractals level 40 and higher.

I am unable to see how that will reward more those who play lvl 10. Kindly elaborate.

Unwanted ascended rings are a pain – you cannot salvage, you cannot mf. They just sit there taking space, just in case. Trading them back for a pristine seems reasonable to me. Its 1/10 of what you would spend to buy them.
As for skins, you can make the number excessively high – 250 pristine, or 500 pristine – so that they still remain rare. But it would be something to work on rather than just pray for

Well I certainly hope so, since Fractals is the only decent end game content in the game and you’ve basically left it to rot.

I’ll take a stab at this.

Currently, people farm 48 for the highest possible chance of getting a weapon, assuming their reward level is also 48. Several have posted long ago that the chances of getting skins do increase every 10 levels (they were confirming that in the 60s and 70s weapon skins were frequent enough).

In addition, the skins are only available from lvl 20 reward and on. By having them be bought with pristine relics, which can be farmed at lvl 10, the weapon skin devalues. Not that we can sell them or anything, but in the eyes of someone like me who’s been farming lvl 40s since March, and 48 for the past month, I feel that each skin I receive from the RNG gods was well worth the task. Doing 25 lvl 10 dailies is cheap for something so rare. It’ll be a slap in the face to those that dedicate the 1-2 hours for lvl 48 dailies.

well, for one thing, you can reduce agony damage to 1% at lvl10 and mobs have less hp so it’s faster and idiot-proof. and it gives the same amount of relics.
so no. not a viable way to do it. the only way to not kitten off everyone who already has multiple fractal weapons is to give us a way to transmute them into one another in the mystic forge.

There are lots of champs in fractals. Uncategorized for example has a room with four (Rabbit, human, charr, jotun/ettin?) and there are others in a variety of them too!

the only champs in fractals are the rabbit, ettin, shaman and old tom in uncategorized, the drake in swamp whom nobody ever kills and dulfy in ascalon, the grawl shaman in volcanic but you can’t kill him and rabsovich. on average this is 2 champions/full fractal run, which is not a lot. i just hope that they give this to legendaries and make them drop better loot.

Legendaries give the loot bags same as champions. So all end bosses from fractals will give the bags.
