Material values were taken from the Guild Wars 2 Wiki and simply multiplied by 250:

Powerful Blood = 10,682.5 silver

Powerful Venom Sac =1,560 silver

Elaborate Totem = 5,742.5 silver

Pile of Crystalline Dust = 5,370 silver

Vicious Fang = 6,327.5 silver

Armored Scale = 6,000 silver

Vicious Claw = 6,152.5 silver

Ancient Bone = 6,760 silver

Glob of Ectoplasm = 9,375 silver

Since 100s = 1g we can simply divide the sum of all this by 100 for the gold needed.
After adding all that up and dividing by 100 I came to the figure 579.7 so the gift of fortune alone is way expensive, and this doesn’t even count the mystic clovers either but that requires luck but in a best case scenario:

77 Ectos = 28.8 gold

77 Mystic Coins =20.79 gold. However, since there’s a 33% chance at a clover we can triple these figures since a third of 100% is 33.333…%:

86.4 gold for the ectos and 62.37 gold for the coins.

So we can conclude that a gift of fortune cost if we were to buy every single part would be like 728.47 gold. This sounds like quite a big deal but you need to understand that if you’re playing the game naturally you’d likely have lots of free ectos lying around from salvaging rares gained from Silverwaste, Tequatl, and Heart of Thorns zones.

The wiki can also break down the costs. In the bottom right of the recipe box there is a link called “Show base ingredients”.

It’s pretty snappy, though it doesn’t quite know what to do with the Mystic Clovers.

I went to the wiki and had to open up lots of tabs in Chrome to keep track of all the stuff.

That is why you use the Show base ingredient link. Works for anything that can be crafted. Great way to see the ridiculous prices of decorations …

Doesn’t feel like it though since one typically buys the ingredients piece by piece.
