Guild Wars 2

Hi.

My name is Defektive. I spend way to much time in HOTM and way to little in the PvE / WvW aspects of the game.

Mostly because I’m burned out from grinding and having to gear up to be competitive at a high level.

This patch, the new armor is fantastic looking. But I’m finding it difficult to obtain the neccessary Fortune Scraps atleast in an alotted period of time.

So here are my questions:
1) How long does this event last? (2 weeks again? or perm?)

2) What’s the easiest way to get Fortune Scraps without having to spend a fortune of IRL Money.

Example. I’ve be glad to drop 10$ if it procured me a set of the items (not both sets). But from my calculations, it’ll take a minimum of 20$ to get 1 of item.

3) Are there methods to gaining Fortune Scraps from sPvP?

Thanks everyone I really appreciate any knowledge that can be bestowed.

Hello there Defketive. I’ll be quick, as I don’t know much about the new event. You said the new armors are awesome…what armors? Radiant & Hellfire armor? That’s tied to achievement points and you don’t need fortune scraps for it. The only skin you can purchase with scraps is an helm with colored crystals on it.

Fortun scraps + helms are temporary, the achievement point rewards are permanent

Oh and by the way, the answer to your 3rd question is obviously no

Do you have at least one level 80 or so? Technically, you can mine say, orichalcum and some lower level mats and trade them for chests that have scraps inside.

Also, I got the fortunes to drop from mat bags we loot in WvW on players. So I guess you could apply your madz sPvP skills in the Obsidian Sanctum jumping puzzle and farm people for them, maybe :p

That was the perfect answer.
