Guild Wars 2

Now that the Four Winds Bazaar is gone, anyone know if they moved the blade shard merchant to another accessible zone? Blade Shards still drop, would be nice if we still had something to use them on.

The main use was and still is for making the the spinal blade.

Can someone coming in now still do spinal blade? You can by the recipe in lions arch I think… but the limiting factor would be power cores for ascension. I assume there’s no way to get more assualt knight power cores without buying from TP correct?

Actually, you can buy power cores from the TP. They’re are around 1g each I believe.
I missed that LS story to have enough blade shards, but have all the misc. items needed except for the blade shards – lucky enough they added the home-node at laurel merchant that drops shards to speed the process up.
