Q:
Baubles and Bauble Bubbles in the next worlds
Environment Design Specialist
A:
I said that I think they will and that I’m personally counting on it. BUT, and this is a big, fat but… The parts of SAB that come into contact with the rest of GW2 are not in my control. There are stakeholders who run the various systems like TP, Commerce, Crafting, etc. and they all rightly have a say in how SAB will be affecting their systems. We haven’t sat down with all those people to run our future plans past them yet. So the final answer is that there is no final answer.
If you have extra space in your bank, then why not?
If you don’t have extra space just lying around though, I’d say it’s probably not worth it. Chances are that this event won’t come back until next April, so that’s a long time to use up bank slots when it doesn’t take more than a couple hours to get those bubbles back if you know what you’re doing.
They said it’s going to be back before April.

Can I ask, are you going to bring the Box back before next April fools?
I certainly hope so. All signs currently point to yes. But of course, no promises.
“I hope so, but no promises” from a dev on the SAB team isn’t exactly confirmation that it WILL be back before then.
But it’s definitely better than no info at all.
they cant confirm anything related to dates because then people will kitten at them for not keeping promises when it comes out a day late.

It would still be nice to have an official reply as to whether bauble baubles will still be the currency for any new skins or items in any subsequent SAB levels. Who knows, they may require a triple bauble or something, so that we have something to keep us actively farming.

Yes it will. Josh confirmed this in one of the threads here.
Thank you for the info Omni. I dont get to read the forums as much as I’d like to.
If I were you, I would discard/spend any unused Baubles after the end of the month, but keep the Bubbles. I’m been keeping one stack of 250 Baubles lying around in case I want to “power level” another alt into the SAB, but any time I collect 250 beyond that I just convert them right into Bubbles. There’s nothing worth keeping the baubles around, and if for example World 2-1 2.0 adds in some more in-SAB items you’ll need to upgrade to, you can get hundreds of baubles in only one ~10 minute run of world 1-2, so it shouldn’t set you back any.

What I’m concerned about is world 2 coming out and being even easier to get BB’s, so the skin prices rise to 100 or 150 BB’s, then all the time I spent collecting BB’s beforehand was wasted, because I could have spent that time in the future collecting more BB’s for the same time investment.
So I’ve been using them for more skins now, since it’s very possible these skins won’t be coming back. And will eventually work on a good sized stack of box ’o fun.
Most people I know are using it to get obsidian shards. Which is likely the biggest concern over delete farming. So don’t expect those to come back for a mere BB next time.
My advice would be to enjoy and get what you can from the content now, because whatever happens when w2 releases you can always do the content for the skins then. Which inevitably would be more fun than pulling out a few stacks of BB’s and buying the new skins right then and there.
Though if it were me, I would give world 2 Red Bauble Bubbles that cost 2 or 4 blue Bauble Bubbles, and make the new skins 50 red bauble bubbles. People playing w2 would get red bauble bubbles as easily as we get blue ones now, but people who farmed w1 ahead of time would end up spending 2-4x as much on the new content. Effectively tipping the hand in favor of those who play the new content over those who farmed the old content.
how do bauble bubbles compare to bubble bobble? please someone come up with an answer for this joke.
