Guild Wars 2

Clearing out my inventory yesterday I was debating what to do with my increasingly shortened bank slots (of which out of my 8 slots) are becoming overloaded with Dragon Ore and Empyreal Fragments, to the point it’s limiting what should be an ample bank expansion.
The main issue is the drop rate for these items seem to come in the shed-load, yet there is only a limited amount of things I can do with them. I know we can make ascended items and I have been doing that however, the other items needed to create ascended stuff is more “grindy” . Therefore I have found that we attain dragon ore and Empyreal Fragments quicker than we can amount Bloodstone Dust and the other mats we need to craft.

I recently crafted my Maudrey and Maudrey 2 pet and was surprised that a decision was made for the plant to eat bloodstone dust (which is a far more common requirement for recipes) over the other two ascended mats, which are more abundant yet limited in avenues we can use them. This leaves a pile of Empyreal fragments and Dragon Ore sitting in inventory doing nothing.

I would like to trash them but I know as soon as I do, Anet might change the goalposts months later to introduce something else to utilize the resource materials for something. So has anyone heard of plans in the near future to do something with these or are they forever doomed to be an item to fill bank slots with this over abundant material .

Could we not just -

1 -Have an option so Maudrey 2 can munch through any of these mats?
2 -To actually trade these in the raw state for something very nice and useful back
3- Maybe use them in chef materials for updated foods ( for example getting chef to 500 )

So do I trash or keep? What is everyone else doing with these mats? At the moment I keep my Omnomberry Ghosts in another bank in fear that the little blighters will start munching after midnight. I also fear soon I will be at gem store for 10 bank slots to keep the increasing pests with room to forever continue their devilish multiplying antics. Help !!!

Empyreal Fragments are in a Halloween recipe, that’s a start I suppose.

Empyreal Fragments are in a Halloween recipe, that’s a start I suppose.

The recipe requires 1 Empyreal Fragment, which is also time gated, that’s not a start, it’s an insult.
