Guild Wars 2

Anyone else keeps their gifts of exploration in their bank? Because there is nothing to do with them except the legendaries? I have 2 gifts and soon 3. Please give us something to do with them. For the people who don’t go after legendariy weps. I think there should be something you can do with the,,,,you got all maps to get them,is some work there! Only for legendaries? Give other options to use them please. Or the only solution is to destroy them in the end….to destroy what you get from getting all maps at 100%. Really not worth getting all maps for those who don’t go for legendaries. Give the gifts of exploration a use.

But then why would u go for the World Achievement if you don’t want the reward in the first place? xD

I think being to trade one in for a PvE-only commander icon would be good.
But yeah, I’ve got 5 sat in my bank doing bugger all.

You explore all maps just to end up having to farm T6 materials so you can get a legendary in the end. Oh wait by then you might have bought the legendary. So what to do with the gift? I have no idea.

It should be possible to use the gift of exploration for something you can’t buy. Like ascended stuff. You can’t buy it. You have to earn it.

And no. Don’t add something where the gift of exploration is 50% and the rest is complete farming. That’s no earning.

I have an idea. It’s really wishful thinking but I would allow trading 1 gift for bound to account PRECURSOR.
That would make the biggest problem go away.
(Not that final legendary items should also be bound to account so ppl would not sell the final product earned this way.)
Aside form that I don’t know.
Allow trading it for any kind of weapons ticket in the game or something.
—
It really shows your affection to the game and should be considered a really great reward for a player instead a taking spot in bank item.

I was going to suggest that, and, maybe they should be tickets for something pretty awesome, like, 1 gift of exploration gives you 50g, or a pretty kitten weapon, not something like the story weapons, they were a complete disappointment, I also support that they should buy ascended gear, or maybe we can trade them for laurels, 1 gift of exploration = 50 laurels, that would be a motive for people to explore

Would be nice to see a different way to use them apart from Legendaries. I have 6 of them collecting dust on my bank. Will someday use one for a legendary but until I get extremely lucky with a precursor drop or in some way get enough gold to buy it it will have probably faded into legend by then

Yeah and there are many people with over 10 chars at 80 meaning 10 gifts,must get something for that except being used of legendaries. Thy are account bound than give something else account bound in exchange for them. Like unique weps, skins, idk something that you can use! The gifts of exploration are useless now except if you want a legendary.

You get the title “Been there. Done that.” as well, but more saliently, some people may just want to go for map completion because they like playing PvE and see it as a fun challenge. Kinda like how all those old-school games would give you a star or something for collecting all the coins in the game, even though the star didn’t do anything.

I have map completed on two and a half characters because I like the little gold star by my name. Otherwise it’s garbage, I have 4 gifts in my bank, soon 6. Cashing in for Laurels would be great. 50 is asking a bit much though. That would equate to 5 monthlies, or 50 dailies, or some combination of the two. Mapping simply doesn’t take that long. 20 laurels per gift sounds reasonable.

Really? I don’t know how you do it, but for me it takes long. Maybe you can speed run it but most ppl don’t do it. 20 would be like waste of the gift.

I personally thing that trading for laurels would be a waste since you do exploration for something unique (legendary like), so making it equal to 20-50 laurels means it doesn’t matter, you can just sit in any place for X-days and get the same.

I really would like to trade it for any event skin available in game like molten/consortium/wintersday and future ones.
