Fossilized Insects post-achievement?
Maybe you could make Greatswords and once you get 4 of them, put them in the mystic forge to see what you get.
Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

That’s an option, though I think I’d have to use mats I farm over time for it to be worth it. Right now, putting in buy orders for all of the mats off the TP would run me about 7.7 gold for a single Scorpiones, which puts me at over 30 gold per roll in the Forge. At current prices, I can buy four Greatswords off the TP immediately for 12-13 gold, or if I can wait for buy orders, I can spend as little as 6.5 gold per roll in the forge. At those rates, it’d make more sense just to sell the mats I’d be using for Scorpiones to buy more Greatswords off the TP.
It’s definitely an option I’ll keep in mind, though, so thanks for the response! I’m open to any other ideas people may have as well.
Don’t destroy them. The insect collector will give you bags of gear for them. It isn’t much of a reward, but better than just discarding them.
Otherwise there is no good use for them. There is no point in making exotics with them for the Mystic Toilet because you can do the same thing just by making weapons with the Nomad inscriptions and leaving out the insects. Putting in the insects gets you ambrite weapons instead of plain weapons, but the MT doesn’t care, so the insects would just be wasted.
You require one for, I think, the Glint’s Bastion collection. You need to unlock a specific bug with it. I figured as much and kept one back. There could be other collections requiring a particular fossilized insect…not checked.

Ah, I thought it was only the unidentified insects he traded for, but I’ll try this out the next time I complete the track. Thanks for the tip!

Is this the Crystallized Scarab you’re talking about, or something else? The Wiki page for the Glint’s Bastion collection seems incomplete, and I can’t check the collection in-game right now. Unless they changed it with HoT, though, I don’t believe the Cystallized Scarab drops from the Pristine Sand-Carved Cache.

Ah, I may have to stand corrected on that then. The icon looked practically identical to the Fossilized creatures confusion is easy!

The crystallized scarab is not a drop you just go to the NPC and buy it for 0 karma.

It IS the unidentified insects that he wants for the bags. Does the PvP track give identified insects? If so, then ignore my advice. I don’t PvP and just assumed it gave unidentified insects.
