Guild Wars 2

Unfortunately I was away from the game during a lot of the recent living story in LA. I really want to create a spinal blade back skin and was wondering if it is still possible to farm blade shards, and if so where is the best place to do so?

Thanks in advance

Home instance Sprocket Generators, Aetherblades and their associated JP, and MF promotion from sprockets.

Wiki is your friend.

Thank you both, unfortunately wiki doesn’t tell me where the best place to farm these mobs is, any ideas?

The JP? TA? Fractals?

Because it depends a lot on your

• fighting skills
• jumping skills
• level/gear/build
• amount of friends/guildies to party with and zerg down pirates

Try everything and see what goes better. Maybe you can grind dungeons and promote sprockets, who knows. You can also get a sprocket generator for tokens currently.

They’re a major pain in the bottom at the moment. I know because I’m in the same situation as you are.

Best method seems to be:
Park a character at the chest of the ‘not so secret’ jumping puzzle for a few shards a day. Harvest your sprocket generator each day for sprockets and a few shards. Then finally transform 50 sprockets in 10-15 shards in the MF.

Yea, it takes a whole lot of time and money now.
