Guild Wars 2

I am pretty much finished with my legendary gifts, however I’m struggling to obtain mystic clovers due to the low amount of spirit shards I currently have.

I have checked all my chars and used all my current shards but doing the dailies seems a very slow grind to get these.

The ways to obtain spirit shards seems very low and was wondering if anyone knows of a way to get these quicker?

There are a few ways.

The wiki article will tell you all the ways you can get one. Just to list a few you can get them from random drops for lvl 80 characters, ToK if used by lvl 80 characters, and from quite a few bags that drop.

Dear OP, I feel your pain. Now it’s very hard to get them, the only viable way is to do chest farm at silverwaste. Dungeon and fractals are also a good source if you like hard content but chest farm is the fastest afaik.

Before the specialization patch, we were able to get this currency from leveling up. Someone even told me they have 4k spirit shards now because they got a lot before the patch.

Currently I have 3750 but I have also spent a fare few already since the change buying MF materials from Miyani.

Personally I don’t seem to have an issue getting a few more each day, but only after completing my daily.. maybe something or nothing though as trash drops/champ drops/bags etc are of course all clouded by the RNG smokescreen like everything else in GW2.

Yes, I am collecting skins. But I am also generating exotics for my future 80s.

Buying it would be an option but it would be an annoying one. I have plenty of ancient wood and ori. Mystic coins I have coming out of my ears. It would seem silly to just buy the item simply for lack of a single mat.

How is being short on spirit shards a good thing? It is not like they are taking up inventory in your bank, they go to your wallet.

Because you for some reason are rich. And you don’t farm. Tell me which farm generate money faster than spirit shards.

you make even slower gold from eotm, silverwaste, world boss, orr. For dungeon you probably break even.

If it is a cheap exotic that use eldrich scroll, just buy it directly. You won’t save much money anyway. Only use your skill points on expensive exotic, those are the ones you’ll save some money.

I am not sure how the beginning of what you said relates to what I said? No, I am not rich and yes, I do farm. Sure, I could just sell the mats needed and buy the mystic weapons, but that would only take care of getting skins and adding to my stockpile of exotics (I have my characters out to #15 all planned out so working out what weapons I need is just a matter of looking up those professions). However after I get all of the mystic weapons my plan was to make then sell them.
