Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if it is possible to exchange the [Infinite Mist Potions].
You might bought multiple potions for different characters and later use the shared inventory for example. Would be nice if you could make some use of the unused potions in any way (like trading them in).

There already is an option to exchange [Endless Fractal Tonics] (BLING-9009 vendor in FotM lobby).
I thought it would be nice if you could exchange the potions for a part of the inital cost too so they don’t just rot in your bank until you destroy them.

How do you think about this? Love to hear your opinions.

I think you should contact support. Sounds like something that happens often enough that they should be able to assist, but not so often that it needs to have an in-game change.

I think that adding an npc that offers just maybe 80% of the relics that were required to buy the potion would be easier than assisting with just one player asking support tbh….

They dont need to design a new skin (just another Golem)
They dont need to create any new items just add the option to exchange these potions for xyz number of fractal relics

Support personnel already get paid to help with the same sorts of problems: additional cost to ANet = 0.

Adding a new NPC requires: determining the rewards, placing the NPC, setting up the vendor table, and a number of other minor things. Cost to ANet > 0

You’re correct that it’s a relatively minor change. What you might not have remembered is that the devs have a list of 13,284 minor changes that would improve the game for some group of players. How high should it be on the priority list?

In the meantime, Support is already available and it costs about 5 minutes of time to make the request; it’s worth trying instead of waiting.

Sounds reasonable.
I made the suggestion because of the reasons Orangensaft.7139 already mentioned but I have to admit that you are right too.
Maybe the devs read it and think it’s a good idea and implement it or it won’t ever come.
We’ll see…

In the meantime I gonna give it a try and contact support.
Thanks for your answer!

Definitely always worth posting ideas

I mentioned contacting support because I thought it would be the quickest way for the OP to resolve their current conundrum, regardless of whether ANet wants to set up an exchange.
