Guild Wars 2

Hi all, so i’ve been doing fractal dailies for months on and off and it occurred to me that when i post lfg for T4’s groups fill fast, but when that’s over and i ask if people want to stay and do daily recommended’s, more often than not everyone just leaves or 1 stays….

So i ask the community who does fractals on the daily, “do you do daily recommended’s? do you think its worth doing or not?”….fyi i don’t need the fractal research pages done with them long time ago, i usually just do daily recommended’s after T4’s since i’m in fotm already anyway but may decide to stop doing the soon when i get busy, thanks.

pages are useful for grinding out specific armor pieces to complete a set…. if the cost was in line with other acquisition methods (crafting). but it’s more expensive. I think it’s a good idea to keep ascended vendors using pages personally and don’t see a reason anet would change that to pristines or something, so maybe they’ll retune the vendors to something more enticing.

on the other hand, the random drops of ascended gear I’ve gotten over the past 4 years add up to me owning about 12 (or maybe 15) sets now and that’s why I generally pass on working towards a specific gear piece that takes about a week of doing an hour more of repetitive fractals… I just don’t need it. I’m sure a lot of the players who pass are in my boat, perhaps not with quite so many complete sets of gear but still feeling saturated.

Yes. If only to get ascended chests (~90g worth each) and accesories.

Gold weapons are pretty baller too

I just got a random gold shield, which I don’t need, does it have any other purposes?

Well, no real reason to grind pages just to be able to buy ascended gear for prices comparable to crafting. Better keep doing t4’s and wait for that ascended box drop.
And besides pages, the recommended fractals aren’t really rewarding.

Yes. If only to get ascended chests (~90g worth each) and accesories.

Those drop from tiered reward chests, not from recommended numbered ones (or at least the drop rate for them on recommended isn’t any higher than outside fractals).

From doing three Tier 4 dailies every day? If you’re unlucky, won’t be swimming in ascended gear, but you’ll still get some. (Ascended gear doesn’t drop from the ‘recommended dailies’, which is what the OP was asking about.)
