I cant find anything written on this. Is it known if we will still have MF items like auger stones, philosopher stones, crystals, ect for MF forge recipes? How will the MF be handled in face of the loss of skill points?

Nothing is happening to skill points when it comes to the mystic forge. Skill points are simply being renamed and converted to a wallet currency.

I’m going to leave this thing of beauty here:

They’re removing Skill Points. What about all those MF recipes that need mats you can only get with skillpoints?

You can never get those mats again, ever. They’re removing everything from the game that involved that resource. That includes legendaries, despite making a new system that technically will make it easier, or at least more reliable to get a legendary.

Or, more likely, they will change the process by which those mats are acquired.

Because we can’t be angry about both?

The new wallet currency will be used to purchase MF materials.

Might be sort of amusing if they mess up and Miyani doesn’t get updated.

so are they getting rid of skill points? and if so what about the people that have 100s of them unused as well as the inventory item that people have stacks of sitting in their banks. Are they seriously just getting rid of them with 0 compensation for them?

and can you cite your reference please?

Excess skill points and any skill point scrolls will be converted to a wallet currency, which can then be used to buy items for the mystic forge. Level 80s will get hero points at update, 400 minimum if you level one to 80 using scrolls and crafting. More if you’ve done content.

You won’t get skill points after level 80, you’ll get the new currency. The augurs and bloodstone will be bought with the new currency, not skill points, because skill points are being removed.

They said from doing things that gave skill points before.

“Old skill points in excess of those earned by leveling and skill challenges will be converted into crafting materials for the Mystic Forge. Items and activities that were previously repeatable sources of skill points will now also provide that same crafting material.”

Here, where they said crafting material they are referring to the skill points that will be turned into a new item that will become currency in the wallet and used to buy the items that are used in mystic forge crafting.

“*Players no longer need to clear specific content for specific unlocks as hero points will be replacing skill points in the new profession reward tracks, and excess skill points will be converted into crafting materials. How will this affect players who have already cashed in a bundle of Scrolls of Knowledge*?

If you already have Scrolls of Knowledge and a bunch of existing skill points, you will end up with a lot of crafting material that converts into a new currency that will be used in the Mystic Forge. We will be talking more about how that works and how you acquire that currency in the future."

So, from what they said, if you have excess skill points or scrolls, these will turn into a new item and clicking on them will add them to your wallet as the new currency. You will also get these new items from content such as PvP and champ bags.

Ok, here is my post again with my clarification.

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/specializations-part-two-reward-tracks-and-elite-specializations/
“Old skill points in excess of those earned by leveling and skill challenges will be converted into crafting materials for the Mystic Forge. Items and activities that were previously repeatable sources of skill points will now also provide that same crafting material.

What are the items and activities that are repeatable sources of skill points scrolls?

PvP- activity
Champ bags/lot boxes- item

Those should be the items and activities that will give the new “crafting material” that will be the currency when clicked.

I’m expecting tomes to drop from the same sources as current, however after a char is level 80, tomes will not give exp because the mastery bar every level 80 will have does not progress by exp but by another unnamed method. They won’t give Hero points (because those are finite in number). I’m expecting them to drop the “crafting material.”

http://www.zam.com/story.html?story=35818&storypage=2
“The masteries seen in the demo are just the tip of what masteries will be available at launch, and the team will have more surprises for players. We wanted to know if all those consumables, like Tomes of Knowledge and Writs of Experience, would help players unlock all of these masteries faster. The short answer is that they won’t. The experience bar is going away and is being replaced by the mastery training bar. This training bar is in no way tied to experience, but fills up by going out and doing stuff in the world. So any item that gives you experience won’t help you train masteries.”

Be careful what you ask for

Yes that states that the scrolls and tomes that have droped and award a skillpoint will award the crafting material.
It dont say if scrolls and tomes will continue to drop or not.

So sadly no source but thanks for replying to me mate, will continue to prowl for information.

Scrolls will not continue to drop as they will no longer be in game, if that’s what you are asking. They are removing skill points. But good luck in your prowling.

Well read our conversation again with more coffie in my veins.

Looks like I missunderstood you saying how we would get the resource in the future instead of what you actualy said.
That was how what we already got now will be converted when this change hit
