Alright, I’ve held off on writing a complaint about the amount of materials/currency building up on my characters for awhile… but I can’t keep it in anymore.

-Bloodstone dust
-Airship Oil
-Piles of Auric Dust
-Dragonite Ore
-Empyreal Fragments
-Airship parts
-Lumps of Aurillium

There are little to no sinks for these items, but we receive these items A TON and it’s driving me insane. I’m sorry, but to me, it’s a sign of an unpolished game when I am constantly handed useless loot. Acquiring bloodstone dust every time I open a chest is beyond disappointing… I truly feel disgusted every time I see it and I delete it immediately.

I have a couple of suggestions:
1. Decrease the amount of these materials we receive, or limit acquisition of the stuff to a specific area in Tyria.

2. Create an ascended vendor. Players could trade their material for gear/consumables/weapons/etc.

I’m open to other suggestions, as I did not put a lot of thought into mine.

Another thing that bugs me is the amount of currency in this game nowadays. It is truly ridiculous and confusing. I would be perfectly fine with 2 or 3 different currencies in a game, but GW2 needs its own webpage to list out all of its currencies. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Currency

Am I alone in this, or are there people like me?

Have you considered acquiring ‘eaters’? Spending Bloodstone Dust at the Vendors? Looked at the Wiki for uses of these items?

Here’s one page that may be useful: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Converter

I never have enough ascended mats to feed my pets. Lol.

Good luck.

Pretty much everything on that list of yours has uses except for Pile of Auric Dust and Airship Oil.

Bloodstone dust = good profit with toxic consumables.

Dragonite ore = get the eaters = 300/day gone approx
Empyreal Fragments = get the eater = 150-300 gone per day

Lumps of Aurillium = AB keys for multi map or get the Ley Line thing to spend 25 / day. Alternatively it is an extremely good way to buy Obsidian Shards for less karma.

I mean if you spent the time making this whinge post instead on the wiki looking at the uses of bloodstone dust you’d have made gold off of the bloodstone dust instead of deleting it like a misinformed person would.

At the current prices, it’s approximately 80 silver profit for 100 bloodstone dust making Toxic Focusing Crystals.

Here is the answer to Auric Dust and Airship Oil.

Auric Dust can also be used to make:
