Guild Wars 2

Please Anet, can you make it happen?

Most of us who play Fractals on a daily basis have a few extra of them now, what can we use them for? Selling them for 20 silvers…

It feels to me that spending 21 days for 20 silvers is kinda lame, with how rare golden fractal relics are, I feel this would be a fair trade.

What do you think?

+1
10 pages for 1 relic sounds like a fair deal.. (full book for 2 relics)

Don’t agree with using fractal pages as the sole currency as they’re typically T1/T2 at this point.

At the least, the ability to buy them should be locked behind personal level 100, or at least completion of fractal 100 (similar to regular fractal weapons).

We’re looking into adding other things to spend Fractal Journals on, but I don’t think Golden Relics will be one of them. Journals are obtained only in the 1-50 range, while Golden Relics are obtained only in the 51-100 range.

How about turning them into keys/encryptions? Could always use more of those ;3

How about turning them into an ascended sword shaped like a book… so we can beat our fractal knowledge into our enemies

How about increasing the chance for golden skins in general?

Suggests the new patch reduced the chance for golden skins even though we have higher level dailies now, or [KING] is unlucky. Only 1 gold relic and 0 gold skins in 129 lvl 51-100 reward chests must be a joke.
I still do not get why you removed the RNG for blue skins (pre HoT you had roughly 25% chance for a blue skin every day if you did all the reward tiers) while replacing it with much worse RNG for the gold skins. It seems like we can expect less than 1 gold skin per month at the current rate.

I got a gold focus yesterday, which I salvaged and mystic forged into… another focus! yay RNG! No but seriously, I agree, Ive played fractals every day for months, Ive gotten like 6 gold fractal weapons since HoT (and hum, 3 times a shield in a row, RNG loves me) and only 1 gold relic.

I understand that those are rare weapons, and they NEED to stay rare, but it takes TEN golden relics to make the weapon you want. Giving out a bit more golden relics would at least give the illusion that we make some progress.

I’m not asking to give golden weapons away for free, just to give us a way to not completely rely on RNG to get them:
- 1 fractal journal against 1 golden relic, it’s 21 days for 1 golden relic, 84 days for 1 random weapon. It won’t ruin the skin rarity before a while.
- 100 pristine relics against 1 golden relic (just another idea)

If you won’t give away golden relics, maybe consider trading the journals against AR+10/11/12 items? so you know, it won’t be a joke to get 5 * AR+16 in order to avoid using the +7 versa infusions to get to 150 AR. It’s good that they’re there, but some of us paid a lot for mighty infusions, and we can’t really use them.

While we’re at it, is there any plan for fractal armor, or fractal golden back pack?

This patch was truly great btw, it’s a pleasure to not see Moss’s face that often anymore :p

Here are a few suggestions of stuff that can be obtained by trading in completed journals and/or pages (maybe more rewards for completed journals than for pages?):
fractal potions (both 1 and 5 categories)
pristine relics
relics
rings
accesories
amulets
high infusions
fractal regular skins
encryptions
encryption keys
minis

These are just a few examples, but what I think is important is to have several items that can be obtained for journals/pages, not just one; the more, the better, give options to players!

Cheers for the new rewards, btw, they are cool.
