Guild Wars 2

I am not sure if there is any point to save them
I’ve made 4 weapons, and still have 15 empyreal stars and a lot of fragments
Oppinions ?

My “oppinion” is that you should find Trahearne.

On topic: Save them for ascended armor, but store them as stars.

Buy another bank tab >.< When we get to ascended armor, refining the fragments will gain you some crafting xp, which is why I haven’t been refining mine.

I’m guessing they may be used in some future recipes like the Toxic ones and Bloodstone Dust? Holding them for crafting XP is the best plan (IMO).

I’m almost to the point of just sitting on stacks like this having also made 4 weapons and not feeling compelled to dump gold into making more than maybe 1 other. You could probably make 5-10 vision crystals if you keep up on the dragonite, do vision crystals even stack? Maybe next big update we’ll see more recipes that utilize this stuff like food or infusions.

I m also really annoyed of those.

How do you have so much dragonite ore… I barely get 150 a day

How do you have so many fragments? I have 50 stacks of dust, 30 stacks of dragonite ore and only half a stack of fragments…

Dungeons are the fastest way of obtaining fragments. With his stacks you’re looking 240 dungeon runs.

One fun side-effect of Ascended crafting is that you can get a pretty good idea of what someone’s playstyle is like by looking at their excess Ascended mats.

Can’t wait to see on ascended recipes that use dragonite…. I’m up to about 5 surpluss stacks, and it just keeps growing….

I’m finding that I need to force myself into dungeons more…

You can get like 2-9 from taking camps in WvW. The Halloween jp also gives out 20 per day.

I think the saddest part of this is that you STILL don’t have enough fragments to make a precursor based on the last leaked info…

That was my thought as well. I guess people who run dungeons a great deal can end up with so many Empyreals and people who don’t end up with hardly any.

Which the biggest issue I have with the ascended material system. Requiring players to do various of specific activities to get each kind of mat rather than letting them play the game they want seems counter-productive.

I brought up the idea of offering some way to exchange the ascended mats with each other in another thread. It doesn’t have to be a straight exchange, for example 5-10 stacks of Bloodstone would probably be balanced with a single stack of Empyreal or whatever but at least it would allow people to keep playing the way they want rather than doing things they don’t.

At least there are alternate ways to get the mats like Empyreals, like doing WvW. That seems like a decent way to get them IF you can get on and IF you have a good warband leader (and those are two big ’if’s). Otherwise you’re stuck with boring open-world chest farming which is an isolating solo activity in a game that should be encouraging players to play together.

WvW is the fastest way to get EmpFrag in my opinion…I have a ton. Dragonite hard to get in WvW though.

For a small team of people hitting camps, I can see that returning quite a few fragments. COF path 1 can be run in 10 minutes for 20 fragments. Which is about 120 fragments per hour.
