Guild Wars 2

Where do you find the Quartz crystal nodes to get quartz crystal, so that you can then charge them with the super neat charging node in your home instance?

I understand they were in Bazaar of four wind map, but can’t figure how to get there. Is it active even anymore. If not, then how do people who weren’t active during that event going to get those crystals? Why market a bonus only for people who were active during a single two week event?

You can only mine them (for now – Bazaar of the Four Winds will return supposedly) if you got the “Gift of Quartz” from the meta achievements. Otherwise you’d have to buy them off of the trading post.

Side note: Charged Quartz Crystals are account bound, so you cannot just buy those.

Second side note: Four weeks, not two. Also, it serves as a skill point for each character individually.

Or join somebody who has the crystal node in his or her home instance into his or her home instance.

Does that work? I assume its the same for the corn node. If it does work, do you still get to mine yours if you mine someone elses?

Yes you can go into a friend instance who has the node when you don’t (my friends all got the quartz in like the first week, i got mine near the end of the 3rd or so). However, if you go into a friends home instance and mine at their node(s) you can not mine at your own, so don’t think you can just keep going from person to persons node to keep mining them, it doesn’t work that way.

Yeah, kinda figured that wouldn’t work. Woulda been a pain to do even if it did work.
