Estimate your total Waypoint/Repair cash spent since you started playing GW2

I’d wager that I spent maybe around ~25g total, starting during the Headstart period in Aug 2012

That’s tough because that awesome reduced price on waypoints period messed up all my calculations.

Headstart too

Went through my most played characters, put /deaths, took away half of them since they were i PvP but left the other half due to WvW and dungeons

Given that I accounted for 600 deaths each costing 1.5 silver per both repair and wp thats 3 silver a piece, about 1800 silver or 18 gold.

Im pretty sure though I have spent WAAAAAY more than that

Waypoint costs are not something people tend to think about. Whatever you estimate your cost being you should probably quadruple it to get an accurate estimate.

You could easily spend 40-50 silver a day chasing world bosses.

Mine is probably somewhere between 30 to 50 gold, because I waypoint absolutely everywhere… especially since the champions got their loot upgraded. This calculation also includes repairs, because I’m an Elementalist. And I die. A lot.

Hard to say but generally speaking I’ve probably acquired more gold by using WP than I’ve paid in fees. I think the highest fee is around 5s but I forgot where the two points were. Had to pay that just the other day.

I think the most expensive wps travel is between temple of grenth’s wp and CoF.

You can get ~67 waypoint uses for 1 gold at level 80 at the cheapest.

The game has been out for a year so if I took a conservative estimate of 40 waypoint uses per day I would have waypointed 14600 times which would cost around 219 gold if I went very short distances each time.

I estimate, including repair costs, that I’ve spent ~360-400 gold waypointing and repairing.

Eye of the North to Shipwreck Rock (Grenth was contested so I couldn’t see the price) was 5.36 silver.

Playing since Aug. 28th 2012
I’d say around 200-300g.
Those 4s WPs and 10s repairs make quite the nice gold sink over time.

Playing since headstart (8-25-12)….not quite just after initial launch…I was sleeping the first few hours, haha.

Still, I’m just going to go with… a lot. Most of it going to waypoints, since I find now that I have a grasp on the game play, I don’t repair anywhere near as much as I did in the first few weeks on my first char. I do, however, waypoint all over the place to do things… that’s a decent chunk of change out of my pocketbook…

I dunno, tons? I don’t mind WP costs, if it really bothered me I could spend the time to avoid it, and probably make some extra silver runnin’ to where I wanted to get. And repair costs are a pretty small price for screwin’ up or taking on more than you can chew.

I’m running around with a bunch of gold in my pocket and nothing I want to spend it on anyway.

When I waypoint I try to offset the cost by doing an event or killing something and hopefully getting a green item to vendor. I rarely just wp and get nothing out of it, most of the time its very profitable. On top of that I use wvw liberally as a portable bank/TP/LA portal.

20g is probably a good estimate for me but it pales in comparison to the amount of gold i’ve amassed(but also spent, I’m always saving toward a set goal).
