Man, if OP wants to make 21 characters with ascended gear and has that kind of time and motivation then good on them.

I really don’t like drop nerfs because I like loot and don’t get a lot of it as it is.. but if we step back bloodstone was kind of out-of-line with the rest of the ascended mats. There are still farms where you can get lots of it even if it is actually nerfed. As others have said, bloodstone is not the bottleneck, even at a reduced drop rate its still probably not going to be your bottleneck; its likely it will have no impact on you whatsoever.

Do my ears deceive me? Are people kittening that they nerfed bloodstone dust?

After threads and threads and threads about there being too much of it?

rolls on the floor laughing

As I said when they nerfed karma into oblivion…. we reap what we sow…

This is proof that for every thread out there complaining about X, there are an equal but opposite number of people ready to complain when they change X to Y.

If there was a change, then clearly it only affects players with 21 characters that need 51,000 bloodstone dust….

Dragonite Ore is what’s really going to screw him lol.

Ugh dragonite…. my bane.

Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.

Yeah, but it wouldn’t be as funny if it weren’t some of the same people in both threads…

While playing? Yes. While standing idle? No. I solo dungeons all the time, so they come even slower than if I were to do in groups. Having to destroy several bloodstone stacks in an hour is just obnoxious and no one should have to do that because a very small minority of people have 20 characters and want ascended on all of them.

While doing champion farms ?

If not, I really meant the “getting more than 3 stacks every 5 minutes”. Assuming you got 20 dust per bags, that’s more than 12 champions to get a stack. Even with champ trains you weren’t killing 12 champions in 5 minutes.

If by several you mean 3-4, than you shouldn’t complain when newer players have to deal with getting them now.

And I’ve been destroying a lot of dust. And a lot of empyreal and even more dragonite. Yet I’m not complaining for the 3 seconds it takes to destroy a stack.
I’d rather complain about having to type “Box ’o fun” when I want to destroy one…

Did they nerf Bloodstone dusts from champ bags on this patch? I hope not. I have 21 characters and need over 51,000 pile of bloodstone dusts. I understand some people have several stacks. But I still need over 51,000 dusts. So please don’t nerf it.

Maybe do something else with your time ? I mean..21 characters ?!! Come on…That’s your own choice.

For emp fragments. I happen to also have a 4th account of 2 mesmers stationing on 5 different jumping puzzle. Each of the main account also have 1 mesmer stationing at 3 other jumping puzzle. Each jumping puzzle gives on average 7 emp frag. So
I get about 7 × 5 × 6 = 210 emp per day per account. And 17,000 / 210 is just slighlt over 80 days.

This…doesnt make much sense, they’re account bound, and can’t be traded to your other accounts………..

I’m fairly certain OP is not serious

Actually I’m dead serious.

Dragonite Ore is what’s really going to screw him lol.

1. Actually my 21 characters are split into 3 accounts of 7 each. So just as any normal person would have about 5-8 characters, my situation is absolutely normal to an average player.

Dragonites, you have a consistent way of farming it. Taking for example. I also need 51,000 dragonites (already got 12,000 over the last 2 months playing on and off, remaining 39,000).

With the 39,000 I need. Each day for each account. I can do 1 teq for 50 dragonites, shatterer for 20, golem for 20, karka queen for 30. That’s 120 dragonite ore per day. I also play simultaneous on two accounts at once on two different computers. So this speed up the process. You can see 13,000 / 120 is just slightly over 4 months left of work that I can get all the dragonites I need.

For emp fragments. I happen to also have a 4th account of 2 mesmers stationing on 5 different jumping puzzle. Each of the main account also have 1 mesmer stationing at 3 other jumping puzzle. Each jumping puzzle gives on average 7 emp frag. So
I get about 7 × 5 × 6 = 210 emp per day per account. And 17,000 / 210 is just slighlt over 80 days.

The bloodstones are the only ones that not many people do champ train to be able to obtain. Even an average person which has 7 characters will need about 17,000 bloodstones to get all their characters ascended will have a hard time getting all the bloodstone now if they haven’t hoarded them up before.

Dear god….

You, sir, have more dedication than I could have ever imagined.

The ultimate question, of course, that I imagine everyone is wondering is: why? Why spend each day doing what you just listed? Even if you decided to just have one of each class in Ascended armor, why exert all of this effort for the additional 13 characters? WHY!

I won’t stop because I can’t stop.

It’s a medical condition, they say its terminal….

I only have 1 player and it very hard to get ascended gear, and I have not even tried to make an ascended weapon because I dont have enough materials. In other words nerfing the amount of materials we get is not cool at all especially since the amounts required are already insane.

I’m not complaining. Thankfully, I got my pet Mawdrey now – my storage toon’s bags should be cleared out in about two months of proper feeding.

(Although it would have been nice if they did include it in their patch notes)
