Guild Wars 2

Ok, so I may be slow on the uptake here. However, I used to run dungeons in a pretty succession for a few reasons. Obviously money, but second was the materials. I would get about half the silk I needed for a piece of damask in a evening. the money from the dungeons would cover the other half, then i would be all happy and pat myself on the back and drink my tea with the utmost satisfaction. I’m just trying to get everyones input here. With dungeons apparently a thing of the past. Were am I supposed to get silk? I haven’t crafted much of any light ascended things since launch. I have only made it a little ways into the expansion pack, so do I need to go further?

You know those crowbars you’ve been getting? Use them. Do the events. Salvage everything.

From bags and salvaging light armor.

I feel that silk is more common now not less. I salvage everything and have noticed a uptick in silk and a down tick in leather. I’m happy about this.

Yes.

Also, it’s pretty cheap on the TP, ATM.

About a third of the price it was a few weeks ago, in fact.

Silk is more abundant now than ever … it’s almost 1s on TP.

i’m swimming in silk myself from salvaging, i need wool – plz Anet l33t tyria needs moar wool gg

Play in HoT salvage all light armor : Best source of silk.

Yep the prices of silk have dropped (unfortunately for me, I forgot to sell my stockpiles of silk :p).

It’s your lucky day! Demand for silk is at a 6 month low and supply is gradually building up on the TP, meaning now is a good time as ever to gather up as much as you need. I can’t say how long this would last though, because it would just be pure speculation.

I guess many people got done their artisan crafter achievement at the same time and are crashing the market with an excess supply. Better finish up ascended crafting (just three more pieces to go! ^_^ ) before it gets “rebalanced” again.

Has anyone tried old map events to get this stuff? Not sure how efficient this is yet.
