Guild Wars 2

So at the moment Lodestones are insanely expensive and practically unfarmable. The Charged Lodestone ranges anywhere from 3.5g to 4g most days and the Onyx Lodestone sits at around 2g with most others ranging from 70g – 1.5g

This is a problem, especially when you’re looking at legendaries which require 100 of them. Yes, legendaries are meant to be HARD to get. But this isn’t the case. Legendaries are currently whoever has the most cash and that is a problem.

My suggestion is that we can exchange dungeon tokens for lodestones, cores, shards, etc.

How?

I’d say maybe 60 – 100 tokens per lodestone. That means people can get about 3 per day, meaning for someone who wants say… Sunrise, you need to farm CoE A MINIMUM of doing each path once a day for 34 days. That’s still difficult, but it’s helping reduce the GOLD VALUE of legendaries. These lodestones could even be souldbound or accountbound and the regular ones still drop.

Thoughts?

I think it is a solid suggestion. One that have been made before.

However to make it work I would say that they need to make the 60 tokens per path account bound instead of character bound. Currently you can just relog to another character and get another go at the 60 tokens per path. Potentially it could become really easy to get the lodestones and my opinion is that there should still be some time investments to get a legendary.

I’d care more for the skins that require 250 charged lodestones like Infinite Light, where it would currently cost you over 1000 gold just for that 1 exotic. That to me is ridiculous, when you can get a legendary for ALMOST cheaper than that.
