Guild Wars 2

Please Please PLEASE for the love of the six gods and all things Holy..

Please put a small copper value on Dragonite Ore, Bloodstone Dust, and Empyreal fragments!!

These things drop at such an insane rate, that, even after crafting 140 Bloodstone Bricks, 90 Dragonite Ingots, and 40 Empyreal stars, I have 1,000 of each material in my Collection tabs.. I am SURE that I am not the only person who wishes that I could at LEAST vendor these mats to a Merchant.. Even if it was ONLY for like 7 copper per item..

7 Copper.. is not that much, its only 17s50c per STACK!

I agree. Totally.

I’m on board with this one. This junk drops everywhere from everything. It becomes irrelevant way too fast.

Why would they add another gold faucet to the game?

The Ascended materials exist to take coin out of the game, not to inject coin into it. For each of those 140 Bloodstone Bricks you’ve created, you’ve spent 16 silver on the vendor item needed to forge them.

Being able to turn them into coins goes against what they were created for. It will never happen.

Because they’ve taken so many away recently, perhaps?

this.
just dump them when you don’t need them anymore.

It’s even more useless for people who don’t craft.

I can’t understand why they would add to the game a material you can’t sell else than Anet wanting you to buy extra bank space.

Yeah, it’s trash made to fill up your bank and get you to spend money and karma to covert them. Throw it out.

I just wish they’d remove the quality from it so my character didn’t get all excited from picking up junk, and it didn’t show as a chest when its just garbage.

Why don’t they just add it to your wallet? That system makes the most sense to me. It’s there when you need it, but not cluttering your inventory when you don’t.

I never have enough from that stuff since i don’t do dungeons, and the amount in champ-bags was already nerfed because of all the crying here.

But i wouldn’t be against it when ANet gives you exactly 1c per Bloodstone just to end these threads and before they decrease the amount in bags even more.

If they ever do that again i swear i start a thread that Dragonite should be nerfed since i always have more Dragonite than Bloodstone.

I’d like ascended mats to just become tradable. Give them to people who actually WANT them.

id say…let us sell em for karma. they replaced karma in dungeons, right?and for dungeon runners getting karma for legendary is mission impossible now

EOTM is your karma train. Pop some food and consumables and off you go.

As for bloodstone dust, I’ve thrown away at least 10k worth of the stuff. Ascended crafting is so slow (for me anyway) that even at the rate of collection, I’ve got about 50 odd bricks of each type and you only use 5 of each type for any given ascended. As it is now, I just make 2 when there are enough in the mats storage which keeps my main bank slots free.

Dragonite and Empyreal come in at a slower rate than bloodstone for me so I easily keep ahead of those.

Repeat thread. there’s already one in the BLTC subforum. And on the first page no less I believe.

i never craft ascended stuff because i don’t see that as a way to enjoy the game, it’s an extra for the ones who do but there are plenty of ppl who simply want to sell the mats.
getting gold in a casual way is hard enough, now with Anet’s policy to make even more gold sink it’s only getting harder.

let us sell the mats, ppl who want it don’t sell it anyway and the ones who don’t simply don’t care.

Just destroy them. They are fairly useless except for crafting ascended gear even then you don’t need much for them. The other use for them is to level your crafting.

Anet wants you to spend money.

I must be doing something wrong. I’m having a hard time getting this stuff to drop. Any advice?

PS. I entered the thread in hopes of being able to maybe buy some of this stuff. heh

Blood dust has a value to it you just have to craft consumables to get that value. It would be nice to see them add in more craft able consumables that use the other mats.

Bloodstone dust drops in some events, bags, chests in PVE
Dragonite is very common in wvw when you cap towers and keeps.
Empyreal drops from some champions, wvw and also fractals

Delete them. Forget about them. Once you do that the game works fine. There are no problems with a high value commodity being worthless to some people. It’s only a problem if people decide to see it as a problem.

Having said that, bloodstone dust is still in such abundant supply, even after one fix to the drop rate, that it’s an embarrassment to the game economy. It should be removed entirely since the dragonite and empyreal are providing the necessary time and gold sinks already.

Champion Trains, World Bosses.

Yeah I’ve probably destroyed over 100 stacks of each mat. And I still have ~50 of each in refined version. They are a waste of space, and I wish there was a checkmark somewhere to tell the system to automatically destroy any that drop for me.

I don’t think they want anyone to see that ascended stuff is more common than t1. It would have a value of vendor price +1 on the trading post within a few hours of being tradeable.

Yeah, I have no intention of making ascended armor (or anymore ascended weapons). I keep about four stacks of each of the three mats in my bank. I delete the rest, except when I occasionally make toxic focusing crystals (since that uses the bloodstone dust). I’ve lost count of how many stacks of the stuff I’ve deleted.
