Guild Wars 2

Beginning August 23—Permanent Harvesting Tools
Never worry about breaking or exhausting your harvesting tools again! The Jack-in the-Box Scythe, Thresher-Sickle 5000, and Consortium Harvesting Sickle have all returned for a limited time. Take your pick!

Why would we need 3 tools that all do the same thing? Jack in the box Scythe works on all plants, thresher-sickle 5000 works on all plants, and I’m pretty sure the Consortium Harvesting Sickle does just the same. So why have 3 tools that all do the same thing? Maybe there will be sale on 3 different Logging tools, and 3 different Mining Picks..??

People buy them both for the permanence and the animations. So. If you don’t like one animation, you can get another.

Hopefully this means the other 2 tools as well. I’ve been waiting a few months for the mining pick.

Thresher-Sickle 5000 is actually the fastest if all you care about is speed. You can literally walk away from the plant when the bar is halfway done. May be a bug.

I have that exact one already, but was youtubing the others to see what they looked like.

Really?

I have the wasp axe and while I like the permanence, the animation is really bad and I do not recommend it. It’s slow and it often freezes you in place after you’ve finished harvesting.

I was debating about getting a sickle, but I wanted the fastest one.

I have them all across my toons i wish they all harvested at the 5000’s speed but what can ya do? Looking at the store it just looks like all the stuff may potentially be up for the whole duration of the sale hence why they put up all the sickles at once.

I just hope these ones they put up aren’t soulbound. Rather not spend 800 gems per character.

They’re . . . more than likely not soulbound.

Even if they are, heard you can change that with the ticket npc or whatever.

I like how the old price was 800 gems, but now they made it 1,000 gems? Seems to be more than $10 per now. Just wish one day you can set exactly how much gems to buy, not be forced to buy 1600 for a 1000 purchase. Yeah I get they need to pay for servers and all that, but at least do it even. $10 for 1k, $20 for 2k, $35 for 4k (discount for buying more). At least that way people don’t over pay for something.

The old ones were soulbound, the new ones are account bound. Not the same item.

All permanent gathering tools sold are account bound since they changed them from soul bound and hiked the price from 800 to 1000 gems.

I’m not sure which one it is, but I like my sickle.
