Guild Wars 2

We have rich ore veins, we have “gardens” of many food types, why not a fallen tree trunk as a rich source of wood?

This has been discussed many times and explained many times. It has to do with balance. the price off wood, food and ore is reasonably in balance. Wood is less available, but also has a lower demand. So is ore needed in almost all weapon and armor recipes. Wood is only needed in some weapon recipes. So there is no need for rich sources of wood.

We need Elder Wood to upgrade WvW Siege Weapons…So thats not exactly true.

I think Ill run through 500-1500 pieces of Wood a weekend, working in WvW.

Either you aren’t in the ascended weapon game, and or haven’t checked prices lately. There is a higher demand for wood because refining it requires more materials, and not a single weapon doesn’t use wood, at least for the inscription, and in artificing most weapons only use ore in the inscription.

Orichalcum Ingots are sitting at half the cost of ancient wood planks, this is not equal. Also, there’s usually more orichalcum nodes than there are ancient wood (that’s more total raw materials per map for ori, which refines into more ingots than wood). I’m not even bringing this up because of T6 materials, but of lower level mats. A run of Bloodtide coast usually yields me over 100 platinum ore, but only around 50 hard wood logs. That’s 50+ Platinum ingots and ~16 Hard wood planks.

Yeah, it’s no longer play the way you want like the game was touted to be in the beginning. That lasted….

On other matters: I harvest from a pine sapling and garner some hardwood? laughs Who in development allowed that to get in-game?

Wood is only needed for weapons. ore for weapons and armor.

once ascended armor get’s released the prices should be balanced again.
