Guild Wars 2

Hey y’all. With the announcement that 1/3 of our Transmutation Stones (low-level) will be converted to crystals/charges, this seems like the PERFECT Opportunity to start farming farm completion for FREE transmutations in the feature patch!

Each world completion rewards 3 transmutation stones. This means for every map you clear, you recieve 1 crystal.

While that seems slow at first, keep in mind this can easily be FARMED by re-rolling an alt and exploring CITIES Like Rata Sum and The Grove, which are super-easy to 100%.

What this means, is that every 20-30 mins by clearing places like The Grove, you earn 1 Transmutation Crystal, or a chance at BL keys.

What’re you waiting for? START FARMING!

Better idea: Get your map completions done on all your characters! You’ll be rolling in Gift of Explorations and Transmutation Charges!

Buy more gems.

How fun >_>
Create character, get 100% in RS, delete character, rinse and repeat..
Is this really how this (or any other for that matter) game is supposed to be played?

No, though all MMOs are played this way anyhow

The same sad thign I could ask for Black Lion Keys

The even sadder answers on this is:

YES, and ANet tolerates it, because it is a long tedious and boring task that is very mind numbing if you permanently repeat it, so miuch to the point, that not very much people do it, because its easier to grind the gold to convert it to enough gems for that 1 BLK. (basically, or buy them directly with real cash naturally, what is what Anet wants..to cater the people, which pay with real money to get everything instantly without having to grind)

You could also explore The Grove and Divinity’s Reach if you want variety!

Fixed that for you.

i don’t get it… – are you saying this stack of trans stones I have will be worth something?

I can’t see needing more than the hundreds i’ve got stored up already. I only wish I was one of those people who played one race so I could get more out my tier3 cultural skins.

April is going to be a great month for this game.

Absolutely, what better use of your time than to farm a single Transmutation Crystal.

Jay, tell ‘em what they’ve one.

That’s right, you’ve won a single, all expenses paid transmutational excursion. Retail value: 50 cents.

So, run RS 4 times in an hour and you’ll get $2.00. Almost the minimum wage in Ohio. Well worth the time.

Buy le gems xdxd

((waits for Anet to nerf the area completion rewards to 0 stones))

adding me 2cents, if you feel confident, also add Chantry of secret to your rotation (Order of Whisper base), it’s a 1 POI map completion for 3 stones :P

SHHHH!!! Now you’re done it. This “exploit” will be fixed in the next 3 days tops.

Tried it, you don’t get any Transmutation stones. =(

I don’t ever recall getting stones for this map, only ever exp.

This is how people choose to play the game. You could go out form a group of 5 people and wander around the world having fun, maybe even actively trying to 100% maps or you could create “Kei Far Ming” NR. 1124123123 and do the same mundane task over and over again.

I thought I read something about map completion after the update giving a transmutation charge… 1 charge now vs. 1 charge then = why the rush?

I haven’t seen a confirmation of that yet, so I’m playing it safe and getting stones now.

I’m not grinding the same map over and over though, I am taking this opportunity to level my two remaining alts up to 80 and work on more map completions.
