Guild Wars 2

I’m currently sitting under a mountain of blues and greens. Can we at least make some loot items that build into bigger items that help us get what we want in this game? You could make it like 1000 of X makes 1 of Y, then 100 of Y makes one of Z, and so on. I just want to feel like I am making progress.

Just make farming better in general, as it stands the only real way to make money in this game is to flip the TP, spam dungeons to an unhealthy degree, or get extremely lucky.

I think you can get that “extremly lucky” getting the luck esscences by salvaging that junk

In my experience, magic find has never seemed to help.

I mean really, we don’t even know how it works. Anet won’t tell us.

There’s definitely a difference. The amount of rares go up considerably once you hit around 200% MF (not that high) and exotics become more commonplace at 350-400% MF (max base MF plus boosts)

“Everytime you kill a monster you roll on a number of tables, inside these tables are different rarity categories. Magic find increases the chances you will get higher categories. For example if there is a 1 in 10 category, and you have 200% magic find you will have 3/10 chances to get that category. This improves not just the rarity of the items you get but can also improve your chances at getting trophies and rare crafting materials like lodestones.” – Isaiah Cartwright

This from the wiki.
I noticed a BIG difference with having a higher magic find. Although anything below 100% isn’t very noticable. In any case, back on topic. Salvage or sell your blues and greens if you can’t use them. You can toss them in the mystic forge and hope to get something better, but the odds are against you on that one.
