Guild Wars 2

So I am wanting to craft some Celestial items and I look at the ingredients. Hum … Charged Quartz Crystal, that’s new. They come from Quartz Crystals ok, and I get those where?

Zephyr Sanctum Supply Box
Giant Wintersday Gift
or
Quartz Crystal Formation in the home instance!!!

What happens when someone buys the game AFTER the Zephyr part of LS? What happens if real life didn’t let you do the Zephyr LS even tho you have owned GW2 sense day one?

I am ok if I miss out on drops and the achievement points when I can’t be on 24/7. I am not ok with never being able to obtain a recipe or crafting material due to not being on.

Have I missed something is there a different way to get Quartz Crystal? (other than the TP)

There is one other way, but it requires you to depend on guildies or friends. If someone else has that node in their home instance you can party up with them and go into their home instance with them. You can farm it then once per day per account.

Not a particularly good way to do it, but so it goes.

Just sent a message in game. If you want we can go to my place later and we can get some.

OIIIIIO Thank you for the invite and allowing me to mine you home node!

I am grateful to others kindness but this not a long term solution. I will need to find some cardboard and make a sign “Will work for Quartz” or “Missed out on LS please give”

So so sad.

My bet is, the only solution ANet will do is that it will show up in the ca$h shop one day.

You can also buy quartz off TP.

You can buy quartz from the trading post and upgrade stacks of 25 to 1 charged quartz at places of power. They were also available as drops at Wintersday, which is obviously not much help, but it does indicate that you can expect it to return again later (I’d expect to see the Sephyr Sanctum return by June at the latest).

Yeah, just buy them off the TP — easy.

Well the Bazaar should happen again soon. (Like all yearly events)

I bet you would be able to get the opportunity to receive it again during that event.

You’ll probably be able to buy the home instance node on the Gem Store this month (I know it was an achievement reward but still).

I forget to mine mine, now that’s good Engerish … I also need a sign made up, “Quarts Crystals, free to good home, please help yourself.”

I didn’t realize that was annual! Fantastic!

Anet has implied that it will return, but I don’t think they ever said that it’s annual.

I expect the Bazaar will not be every year if we are to listen to lore. It is supposed to be very rare that the Bazaar touches down. Wooden Potatoes made a video citing it’s rarity. I would welcome it back since it was one of the more popular Living Story releases.

Well, considering that the Zephyrites have now signed a trade treaty with Lion’s Arch, I would expect them to return at least annually. Wouldn’t be much point having a trade treaty if they only come back once in a blue moon.

From a player perspective, I think ANet also wants to let players experience the content on an annual basis, similar to Wintersday and Halloween.

There’s not much trading to be had as long as LA harbor is burned down, isn’kitten

The Zephyrites could always just dock their airship above LA itself, and unload goods straight down to the city. No harbor required.

New player that missed that events get them in TP,but they were in Xmass event so they are still cheap in TP,price were like 3-4silver each before that event

Don’t forget you also need to buy the recipes to craft Celestial! It won’t appear in the Discovery tab!

If it’s too much trouble, wait for the Bazaar in ~June. It should return.
