Obsidian Shards and Empyreal Fragments
It would really be helpful if the temple of Balthazar in Cursed Shores is once a month uncontested so that characters like me can obtain obsidian shards with karma instead of laurels or move the laurel vendor somewhere else because the temple is always contested and a kitten to uncontest it. Too much is in demand for laurels so it would be helpful for people to get them without having to use all their laurels up and not have enough to make the ascended weapons. I mean, how would you feel if you had to constantly wait for your laurel acct to escalate so you have enough to refine the ore, wood, etc., and setting up one character in order to get jewelry (amulets, rings, and earrings) for agony resistance going into the mists, and to acquire the maximum magic find for that character beyond the 300 level to get better stuff.
Also, it would help if you didn’t make the empyreal fragments so many to make a star in order to make a vision crystal. I mean 500 fragments to make just one crystal. Isn’kitten bit excessive.
Buy boxes. They drop often enough.

gw2bear website will tell you if any servers have it open. You can then guest to that server and use the NPC.
As far as the vision crystal… /shrug nothing I can do to help you other than suggest that you run the fast and easy dungeons (cof, se, hotw, ta). Those will have the added bonus of getting you gold, items, and tokens. You can salvage the Rabid/Dire/Soldier stat ones for a chance at an inscription of that type+ ectos + dark matter which will help you level your crafting and make the final weapon.
If you really need to you can also run through some easy jumping puzzles (dulfy has guides on how to do them all as well as will tell you if they are easy/med/hard). You could park some alts you’re not using at the chest at the end as well.
