Guild Wars 2

Make the gem harvesting tools account bound and not soul bound.

Having to buy it all (3 tools = 30€) for 5+ characters is way to expensive.
Imo 30€ for account bound is a suitable price and not soul bound -.-
It’s also an exclusive item coming just a few times. Please consider this!

I sent a message to support about the same concern and they don’t care. They literally do NOT care.

lol @ gem harvesting tools. I like it.

Too expensive to buy for multiple toons? Simple solution: don’t buy for multiple toons!

I would like a tool that harvests Gems, wow that would be epic.

Update XX.XXX.X

Players now have the rare chance to get 1 gem from harvesting any nodes. Chances are not affected by which tool used.

There are gem harvesting tools? o..o Like, the gems you use as currency on the gem store in Guild Wars 2? What is this? o..o

No haha, seems like a missunderstanding, but a good idea tho. Sad it will never happen.

However, I meant the unlimited charges harvesting tools which are bought BY gems :p

They should be made accountbound and not soulbound xD

I’m on Arena.net’s side on this one. If you really need these on all of your characters then buy more. It’s far from being something essential.

I came to this thread to make this very comment.

Sigh, I want the item your thread title suggests. I would love to be able to harvest three gems per mining node, consistently. I don’t even care about the metal, I want the sparklies!

Agreed. This isn’t an essential item, just a convenience thing. With the rage going on about RNG and so many people asking for straight cash for items in the gem shop, ANet can’t then do themselves out of making money by reducing potential sales on items such as the tools.

Well tbh without giving a single Euro on Gems, i managed to buy 4 endless mining picks, 3 endless sickles, and am ready to buy at least 3 endless logging axes. Not to hard, if you are creative in making money. And i’m by no means good in making money compared to my guildies. I just do CoF runs and wvw.

It would be nice if they didn’t make them limited time items on the gem shop, does anyone know if they plan on bringing them back from time to time to buy if you missed them?

I foresee them putting all three back on the BLTC at the end. Hopefully when NOTHING else is on the BLTC worth buying. Because all 3 tools would cause quite the spike in gem>gold gold>gems, one of those. I can just imagine how much 100 gems would cost people gold>gems if they put all 3 tools, aether weapon skins, and new boosts on there at the same time.

I can see them putting them back onto the gem store but with a different look/animation.

Would be nice having them account bound, then I can switch them around seeing how they just recently butchered my class build.
