Guild Wars 2

Haven’t seen a thread about Karmic infusion on the ascended amulets yet, so I thought I’d post something up about it since I have it infused.

The +15% karma doesn’t give an increase in karma that you gain from doing events or dungeons. Not exactly sure if it was supposed to do that.

I was initially under the impression that you would get +15% karma from doing events and explorable paths of dungeons. I mean, if +20% money find means you get to loot 20% more gold from monsters that do drop coin, then going by the same logic, shouldn’t players be getting +15% more karma from events and dungeons that do give karma?

What the +15% karma does, at the present moment is, it gives you +15% more karma when you consume those karma jugs, vials, drops etc.

What the +15% karma doesn’t do, is increase the karma that you get from doing events, running dungeons etc. In other words, the 1,880 karma that you get from doing an explorable dungeon path for the 1st time is fixed, regardless if you wear any karmic boosters or not.

Did not know this, wish I had chosen a different infusion in hindsight.

Wont work in WvW either im assuming.

I’m not sure if it were supposed to behave that way.

If it makes you feel any better, I also got the karma infusion.

Does it work with Karma jugs?

The OP apparently has never actually used any type of karma percentage increase before, not banners, guild boost, food, nor booster. The increased amount of karma you get from the boost is not reflected on the event completion pop up nor the dungeon completion pop up. However, it is shown above your character when obtained.

Here is a screenshot right as an event ends along with a pic of my amulet with +15% karma. Only karma increasing boost I had was the necklace’s infusion. Notice the event gave 378 karma, but I got 435. 15% of 378 = 56.7 56.7 + 378 = 434.7 They were nice enough to round it up to 435.

And yes, it does effect all karma consumables too. Fully buffed out with every karma boost I could think of, I was getting 8550 karma per jug, a 90% increase.

Thank you so much for explaining it like that!

Will look out for the number above my character when I next log in.
