Laurels PvP/PvE/WvW
Was weird. The other day I did my daily PvP before reset and didn’t get a laurel but then did it again after reset a couple hours later and did receive a laurel. So I’m not sure if I just missed seeing it the first time or what. But I def agree that they should add a daily for WvW instead of combining it with PvE and reward it with a laurel. Goi g to take me forever to get my ascended trinkets for all 3 of my characters otherwise. Currently have 2 on my thief and only have 60 laurels to spare. Granted I wasn’t doing my daily everyday before but now that I need them it kinda blows.
I think 40 Laurels a month is plenty. I have 200 laurels sitting around unused after I’ve already buying several sets of ascended gear including amulets and magic find infusions.
1 month for an amulet sounds fair to me.

I disagree
players should gain more Laurels than 40..
But Anet should also improve the laurel Vendor and just add to it alot of more interesting stuff to it …
Players should also receive some Laures from earning Achievement Chests as also for gaining WvW Ranks.
Players should earn also Laurels as rewards for winning a certain amount of Minigame..
Say for example, every 15 wins of a Minigame, you earn also not just only a Loot Bag, but also 1 Laurel.
These 3 things imo would make Laurels better. it would allow also Anet to use Laurels a bit more, other then only for those rewards fro mthe Laurel Vendor NPC.
The Crafting Recipes are are all just only a 1 time buy… once you have perfetc equip, you give a kitten about the rare equipment thigns for rewards.. the minipets are also only a one tiem buy same as like the tonic.
The ascendent rigns ect. are much easier to earn by playing Fractals..
so the only good stuff that people use laurels for are T6 Mats and unidentified dyes to make money
ANet should use more Laurels to let us get some special things for our characters to customize them more…
- buy Skill Reskins with Laurels
- buy Finishers with Laurels (not just putting all new ones always into the Gem Store only, Anet should let us earn them also by not convertign gold into gems)
- buy the BLC Ticket skin items also with laurels so that they would be finalyl also a non RNG based way to get them for high amounts of laurels
and so on, so many possibilities to improve the game by just putting in more effort into making laurels a really valuable thing to work for.
The problem is that you get a maximum of x laurels per account. So just tripling the amount you can get per month does not help much. If you have more characters, you should also be able to get some more laurels.
Achievement Chests do give laurels just so you guys know
[GWAM] and [LUST]
Mess with the best, die like the rest.
With the inclusion of Ascended Gear, we do require more access to Laurels. Especially when they limit the number of alts we can gear. Again, Laurels are a game mechanic that is alt unfriendly. Which to me is the only real end game there is, to make another character.
Like Karma, Laurels should be acquirable by every character and yet, still be account wide.
Hm, I don’t know… I don’t feel like I’m lacking Laurels at all. After all, I only need them for ascended amulets and the infusions for some of them. I get ascended accessories with guild commendations, and the rings from fractals. Though that’s gonna take a while, since I don’t do fractals that often. Still… I don’t feel like I’m lacking Laurels currently. And I’ve got alts too.

You also can only gain Karma with one character at once, since you can only play one at a time. Every time you get Karma, you can only gain it with one character. Every time you gain Laurels, you can only gain them with one character. The only difference is, that you can not gain Laurels as often as you can gain Karma.

I don’t think the laurels need a change. It would be nice to be able to get gear earlier but it’s totally not necessary. I think you don’t need ascended armor/weapons for anything other than fractals (agony resistance) and wvw (those nifty extra stats) and with wvw it’s questionable to me if it makes a difference (do not play it that much).
Currently you don’t even need the armor for fractals IF you have ascended weapons.
That said, I have 5 alts which I can take to fractals up to 39, 3 of them being able to go to 49 while one of those is almost full ascended.
I don’t have the feeling that the progress with laurels is too slow even though I really want to equip my 6th char with an ascended amulet.
The only thing I can agree on is that pure wvw should be able to get a daily just by playing wvw. As far as I know there are mostly just three wvw related dailies .. and I don’t consider daily gatherer to be one of them.

There are tons of daily achievements that can easily be done in WvW; and there are even some that can ONLY be done in WvW. And there are always at least five daily achievements that can be done in WvW.
Daily Events
Almost everything is an event in WvW. Even just killing a sentry and then cap the camp near it which possibly has two dollys waiting in it will already give you 4 of 5 needed events.
Daily Kills
Kill 50 things. Easy.
Daily Kill Variety
Character classes count for this as well, I think; and of course the different kinds of NPC’s. And if you just lack a few… there are moby on the WvW-maps. A variety of different kinds of mobs actually.
Daily Veteran Slayer
So many Veteran NPC’s in WvW. And Veteran mobs as well.
Ambient Killer
Also easily doable in WvW. Though I’d prefer if you don’t do it. Those poor innocent creatures.
Condition Applier
Easy. Comes as you play; don’t even need to be a condition build for that.
Condition Remover
Usually also easily done without even trying.
Daily Dodger
And again. Easy and fast.
Skill Interrupter
Depending on what class you play, this may be a bit harder. Still, doable. Especially if you use AoE-interrupts on zergs.
Daily Reviver
This might sometimes be a bit tricky in WvW, but sometimes very easy as well. Depends on how the fights go and such.
Daily Gatherer
Even if you only gather from the nodes you see while you are waiting for a gate to break or where you run past… you will get it. Doesn’t take long.
Recycler
Loot. Salvage it. Done.
Leveler
Also happens frequently in WvW, since the exp from taking stuff is quite good. And almost everything is an Event as well, so it gives even more exp.
Skill Point Accumulator
Harder to do, unless you play for hours and level up three times in the process.
Daily Mists Invasion Defender
10 kills are done fast, unless you PvD without ever seeing opposing players.
Daily Mists Caravan Disruptor
Also shouldn’t be a problem.
Daily Mists Defense Restorer
Might be a bit tricky if your structures don’t get attacked. Otherwise, easy. Gates and walls need to be repaired after an attack.
Daily Mists Land Claimer
You don’t even need to stay in the circle as long as sobody else is doint it. Hit the sentry once, profit.
Daily Mists Camp Capturer
Also not so hard. Will usually be done while zerging as well as while roaming.
Daily Mists Tower Capturer
Even if you’re just roaming, there might be a chance to join the zerg once when they capture a tower. You can leave the zerg right after.
Master of Ruins
Also very easy to do.
Big Spender
Can’t get any easier. But it’s usually not even needed if you don’t want to spend your badges.
World Ranker
Can be anything between hard and easy, depending on what you do and how long you do it.
Daily Feast
Buy some cheap food for a few copper each and eat it all at once. Profit.
Karma Spender
You can also do this in WvW if you want.
Daily Laurel Vendor
Very fast to get this one.
Daily Puzzle Jumper
You can do this one in WvW if you want. Usually doesn’t take that long either.
