Hello devs and players, just a quick thought and question. I have an entire bank tab full of bloodstone dust stacks and 145 refined bricks. I know others have triple or more than that amount easily from farming a lot. Since it’s account bound we aren’t able to put it in our alt storages or guild banks. Is this ever going to be tradeable for gold or able to be sold to Merchants in the future? I ask because it’s a heavy drain on Karma to continuously spend 2 Shards or 4200 Karma per 100 dust to refine it into a brick. With the Karma nerf it’s not possible to keep up if playing normally, and farming just makes the excess dust even worse.
you do realize you can buy additional character slots. That each character can hold a grand total of 160 inventory slots. That you are essentially not bound to a single character per account. And that because these are account bound you can put them in the inventory of a character whose sole duty is for storage of these account bound items?
That said, just buy the collection slot upgrades and be allowed to store 1,000 of any item in your banks collection tabs. There should be absolutely no reason that you should ever need more than 1,000 of a given item at any one time anyways.
Perhaps they will be able to be sold one day, and then disposing of them would have been a bad idea.
yeah right… they are account bound for a reason. And there is nothing that will change that fact except a complete remodeling of how Ascended Weapons and Armor are acquired.

I did buy the collection slot upgrade. Saying “there should be absolutely no reason that you should ever need more than 1,000 of a given item at any time anyways” is an opinion, and one of someone who doesn’t understand buying low and selling high, or playing the market. I am not trying to be obtuse, but that statement is false and doesn’t have anything to do with if bloodstone dust may be able to be sold to a vendor one day. Thanks for your reply.

Not necessarily, given that certain things that were not worth money in the past have been made to be sold on the post, such as blueprints, which cost mats which are worth gold and were once account bound.

Allow me to rephrase then. “There is absolutely no reason that you should need more than 1,000 of any given account bound item at any one time.”

Your not going to get it. The chances of Arena Net making Ascended Materials into something that can be sold for profit are about as close to zero as they can get without actually being Zero. This is because they learned from their mistake with Legendary Weapons and the Precursors that are required for them. The instant that the Ascended Mats became something that are tradeable on the trading post, is the instant that the economy of Guild Wars will die a horrible death.

I understand how you feel, you’ve made it quite clear multiple times. Thanks.
i have had a theory on bloodstone dust for a while, and why we receive masses and masses of it.
From what I understand Bloodstone dust can be refined into Bloodstone Bricks which people always put forward as the way you are meant to store larger quantities of it. Now to me it is fairly obvious what bricks are normally used to build.
