Guild Wars 2

125 jugs and counting…

I try to, but it does get monotonousness at times. The reward is awesome now in the long run considering those coins net you much more cash then it did a few months back. I just wish it didn’t reset to nothing when I fail to get it done in a single day. Things come up and interrupt my play session and I usually forget to complete that kitten kill variety.

Never ‘bothered’ to do them , because it’s not bothering, I tend to just get it automatically while playing.
Worst case so far was having to find 1 or 2 additional mob types before logging off.

I’ve been trying to remember to do them. I found it actually goes by faster in WvW than PvE for me. Events get done in a snap, and I gather along the way when the pressure’s off. I don’t know how I manage the kill variety, but I guess parties sometimes run through environment aggro, so that takes care of that.
I never thought of saving up jugs until I can use them under a buff. I think I’ll do that from now on. Thanks, thread.

I am hoping the new UI improvements to the daily will help a bit. The current system is a touch in-cumbersome when it comes to tracking your progress. Hell, just having the words “Daily Achievement : Incomplete ##%” Would help me a ton.

Yes..Its the only thing worth doing in open world Currently.

I definately focus on my daily every day until I get it done. 4k free Karma is great. The harvesting / kill count usually comes naturally anyway since I always harvest everything regardless and 60 kills is nothing. But the kill variety / events ones require a bit of extra effort. For the former, definately keeping track of what I’ve killed and if I see a new enemy it must die, and for the later it’ll usually sort itself out to a degree, but it does mean that I’ll sometimes ask in map chat to try and find events or if I really just want (or need) to knock it out fast, go to starter areas where events are very common.

Yep, do it every day. Why would I pass up a jug of karma?

The daily can usually be fit in naturally with whatever you are doing. At the end of the day the only thing I do specially for the daily is the kill variety and that just takes a few minutes. I always finish them for the karma.

Nope, too many alts, too little time to worry about that stuff. Cool, when it happens….don’t even think about otherwise.

I had done them every day from launch through about two weeks ago. Then I got sick and had no energy to play, so I’ve only done them 2-3 times in the last two weeks. I expect I’ll get back to them regularly once I feel better.

It takes me about an hour to get the daily done; and it’s worth it.

It will be interesting to see how this works when the update comes.

I try to do them daily on an alt for the bonus xp and the karma jugs.

I’ve found far too may useful items to spend karma on since getting my legendary to pass up the free karma. From harvesting tools to pve/wvw consumables, there’s so much useful stuff!

I try to do them every day. Sometimes on both accounts. I do skip the monthlies, though, since I hate being forced to do things I am not really interested to do at this point. If it was only WvW, or only FotM in one monthly, I might try to complete it. Both in one month? No thank you. I play a lot of hours monthly and if by playing naturally I can’t even half completer the monthly, then it loses all value as a play incentive.

I really hope that the “bucket of choices” coming in the future for dailies also applies to monthlies. I’ve always hoped that monthlies would be a
complete four of these eight" sort of affair, so it would encourage players of varying playstyles to play the game more, rather than trying to force more players to play content they just are not very interested in.

I do my dailies everyday. I usually try to save the reward for my lower level characters to help bump them up when I’m able to. Plus I use all the karma to keep my cooking addiction fed…

Now monthlies, no I never do them anymore. Until the WvW requirement is removed, I might not ever do them again.

It’s worth because it is rewarding. It’s also very easy to do – just make sure you’re not in Orr

Totally. In fact, last two months I started doing monthlies and I found out wvwvw is actually fun for me. Also nothing beats dailies+DE in helping your new alt level up without spending much effort on it.

I don’t specifically aim for them, but usually get them just by playing. When I’m close to being done for the night I’ll check and if I’m pretty close to one, I’ll work to get it before logging out.

That happened last night, I checked and was only 1 event away from getting my last daily, so I ran around until I saw an event going on and finished that before logging out.

Actually when i was playing that’s all i’d do. It was the only thing worthy of my time. I refuse to play another dungeon only lobby style game with this new FotM, I’ve had 6 years of that, no thanks. Came to this game because it was supposed to be different.

I get the feeling that this thread didn’t turn out the way the OP wanted at allllll.

I personally dont think dailies are any good for casuals who play maybe a couple hours a day – could be wrong though

everyday. Sometimes I make sometimes I don’t. RL seem to get in the way.

I have never actually tried to do them. A short attention span prevents me from completing just about anything. lol

um heck yeah i need the mystic coins i ran out of the 100 or so i had trying to get mystic clovers … and i still only have 57

and ive found a path that gets them done in like 15-20 min easy enough for the casuals and more focused groups !

Yes, I try to make sure I complete it via normal game play leveling my characters.

Torqueblue.1945:

Ya, I do. It’s about the only thing I do now in the game. Log in ,Do the daily,log off.

Same here xD

I rarely even log in these days, when I do it’s usually for 5-10 minutes standing in LA deciding if I want to do the daily, or not.

A casual playing a couple of hours a day? I wouldn’t call that casual. The daily can be done within 30 minutes (I finished my daily in 20 minutes last night as I didn’t have a lot more time available). So, especially for casuals, doing the daily can be very good. They won’t have the time to gather massive amount of karma during normal gameplay, you’ll need a lot of DE’s to get 4500 karma…

Only missed 2 so far. Once because i came home too late and too tired and the other because i was too sick to play.

I just wish the dailies would stop giving the basic transmutation stone as the bonus. At least make it a fine transmutation stone.

Actually the confirmed rewards are the karma jug and 1 mystic coin. Theres a chance to get a random gemstore item and it IS possible to get fine transmutation stones.

@Xenth – Thanks again for the tip, got the monthly JP stuff done in about an hour without leaving LA last night.

I know that. But why bother giving a basic one. I feel like i lost a chance to get something actually semi useful. Its like those 1c reward of old.

I never did dailies after lvl 80.
Honestly I have no use for the rewards it gives so it would be pointless to do it every day.

I wish I could use the basic stones for something I have collected almost 300 of them through normal play. They are more worthless than karma right now.

They kinda just happen naturally for me when im playing the game.
And later on, when I look back im like “ohh hey! I didnt know I had that done!”

That always brings a smile in my face =)

Log on an bank alt, mine some ore, log main, go wvws & kill things, go bank, stick bits in their places & log off.
I guess that`s a yes

Yes, it usually takes 30-40minutes to get the bulk done from an alt I’ve parked in Queensdale.
About the only thing I do keep an eye on is making sure I finish (last kill, gather or mopb type) on a max level char so I can get the most money & karma etc.

Karma, mystic coins and sometimes gem store consumables for something you get by doing something you already had planned to do?

The only one that may give trouble is the kill variety, but all you have to do is travel to Thaumanova and you can do it just in there: Svanir, oozes, animals, shells, skelk, griffins, ettins, trolls, minotaurs, elementals… all sorts of stuff in there.

Unless I can only be on for a very short amount of time on a particular day, I always try to complete my daily. As others have said, you can complete most of the requirements doing your normal activities—though I do sometimes have to seek out those last few kill varieties or DEs—and you get extra XP, money, karma, and maybe a BL freebie. What’s not to like?

I set aside a few minutes each day to finish my dailies. I do them on a low level alt in caledon forest pretty quickly, but i usually start them off on another character as I do my regular thing. I’m very much looking forward to the daily changes coming on the 28th.

I skipped it for about 2 weeks during the Wintersday event – if I hadn’t, I’d have my Juggernaut finished already.

I’m hoping the February monthly can be completed quickly – I still need about 250k karma.

Nuka Cola.8520:

Title says it all. Are you still into them?

I still do them. Not every day, but about 3-5 times a week.

Soon, the dailies are going to have additional value.

In a couple of days, ArenaNet is releasing a new storyline to Tyria called Flame and Frost. In addition to the normal rewards, completing dailies will also grant “laurels”.

These laurels are going to be a new currency for purchasing items like Ascended Gear:

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/releases/january-2013/#flame-and-frost

“New Achievement Laurels
You’ll earn these brand-new laurels as a reward for daily and monthly achievements!
Redeem these laurels for rewards like the new Ascended gear and Infusions!"

Maybe I would if there was something worth while to spend my over 500k in karma I already have on. Once you hit 80 not much other than legendary reasons to use your karma…

I do my daily every day, I also try and do my monthly.

Daily, yes. Monthly, no because it has fractals as part of the requirement.

5 silver karma jugs and an occasional black lion salvage kit or other item keeps me doing it.. every day …..

I have one alt dedicated to running the ‘daily’ daily. I take the 10 minutes to complete it and log him out and will do this until I hit 80, then I’ll start a new alt. Getting to 80 takes a month or so this way bit it’s very little work and when they get there I have plenty of karma jugs to purchase a full set of exotic armor.

Yes, for three reasons.

One, it’s incredibly easy and doesn’t feel much like a grind.

Two, it’s easy karma. With maximum karma gain, each jug is nearly 8k Karma, which is useful for kitting out newly-80 characters. At those rates, a month’s worth of jugs (not counting the monthly) is a full set of Temple armor.

Three, I’m in an achievement points race with guild members, and dailies are an easy source of them. You’ve got to find meta-game ways to stay entertained, sometimes.
