Guild Wars 2

I found a trick to locate any POI, Vista, Waypoint, Skillchallenge, or “Heart” on the map that you are missing. Open your map and hover over that specific icon and it will highlight it. To test this (in case you are unsure) find an undiscovered vista on your map and before you unlock it, go to map and hover your mouse over the waypoint icon (XWPs/XWPs). Hope this helps other map completers like myself, I was astonished to find this. Thank you people who hang around Orr for map events and temples.

Now, how do I turn spirit shards and karma into money >.< I need to buy spark or get spark or something. Doing map complete, then I have enough badges for gift of battle and I really really want Incinerator (or Bifrost… Thief main and all that jazz, trying to choose). So yea, total how do I turn Spirit Shards/Karma into money and what is the best way to obtain a precursor? Thanks much.

-best way to get a precursor comes with HoT with a mastery line, you get your precursor guaranteed that way cause you can craft it yourself.

-You can buy certain non char bound karma gear at vendors and mystic forge it to turn it to salvageable and sellable items, there are alot of usefull guides on youtube for that. I myself dont do it so i really cant tell you what vendors and stuff off the bat

- as for shards.. ehhh no clue, but im sure somebody will post something usefull

must be nice to have an abundance of spirit shards, you can use them to make weapons and sell the weapons, or promote materials….

Would love some answers >.>
Not sure why so few are willing to give some?

Precursor- Was told to wait for HoT. I don’t know if I am that patient.
Turn Karma into Gold- Was told watch youtube. Can not find videos.
Turn Spirit Shards in Gold- Same as Karma.

Do I need to hand out one of my tp flipping techniques to get an answer D=?

you can use spirit shards to buy an Eldritch Scroll and make a weapon (there are a lot) and usually sell those for a profit.

you can also look up “material promotion” and use spirit shards to promote T5 mats into T6 mats.

To my knowledge, the karma to gold path is basically buying certain armors and forging them to salvage for cloth (Linen usually). It’s not very efficient and I’m not sure which ones you buy.

I would be careful about burning off a lot of Karma before HoT. They have been slowly turning down the spigot and it’s getting harder and harder to make a lot of Karma. I suspect there will be lots of nice things for people who have it in abundance….

Spirit Shards to money promote mats or build weapons in the Mystic Forge, wiki Eldritch Scroll there is a whole list of weapons you can forge. Karma to Gold buy blue light armor gloves from the Heart vendor in Bloodtide Coast, forge them, then salvage what you get for Linen rinse repeat that can take a while but it’s easy enough to do. Now where’s your TP flipping technique ?
