I don’t know how other people feel about boosters during their end game experience. Some are handy like WvW Exp Boosters, while others have little to no advantage at all for end gamers i.e Exp Boosters.

I would like to see if we can come up with some inventive ideas for new boosters that wont be sitting in your bank taking up space. Lets get a boost on our boosters!

Salvaging Booster: Have a x% chance to salvage more materials from an item. (Time sensitive)

This could just be a small amount of extra items like 1-3 and only a 10% chance to happen. Something similar to the Gathering Booster except it affects items salvaged.

Guild Influence Booster: Earning influence for your guild is increased by x%. (Time sensitive)

We could all use more influence.

Post your Booster ideas!

We can already change our Boosters into ones we feel more fit our needs.

Hmm…I can’t think of any boosts that might be handy other than XP Boosters for the new Mastery Track XP line.

Good luck.

Interesting idea.. I can add a few but they’re fairly debatable “P2W” I guess. Oh well.

  • Dungeon Token Booster: Increase end-reward token income by X percent.
  • Return of the PvP Glory Booster: “Double-click to gain 50% more glory for one hour.”
  • Magic Find Container Booster: (same as Magic Find Booster but applies to containers only)

Somewhat related:

  • 24 hour Metabolic + Utility Primers (ANet no joke I would buy these if it were a thing)

P.S – The Swim Speed Boost is the most useless booster ever to have existed. Seriously ANet what even. That is all.

About a condi limiter? “Limits the amount of stacks of each condis on you to 25”…

PvP Reward booster. Like the Greater Call of the Mists buff, but a booster…
+15% Rank Points
+25% Reward Track progress
+200% Magic Find (PvP only)

Kitten.

The boosters need to be changed imo, Maybe nerfing the % but have it effect more stuff. For get 20% bonus to xp but can now benefit from more than just kills. I dont even know why they sell Boosters at all. There should be premium boosters that can only be gotten through the gem store.

Swimiing speed booster, #NeverForget.

On thread tough, I never founf boosters too useful on this game. Maybe, MAYBE that now with masterys I’ll find some use to experience boosters to improve my experience gained.

Other than that, I still don’t find too much use for boosters.

Eh I use my xp boosters all the time when I’m doing map completions with my 80s. I need approximately more 8400 skill points to make all the ascended armor and weapons that I want.

Champ Bag farm in SW will give you loads more Skill Points than levelling you 80. Just a tip.

hmm i think the idea of salvage booster is interesting. as for other new boosters…well maybe some that replicated some skills or trait skills, kinda like the reduced fall damage. but i think that was somethin that was being changed around when HoT launches anyway. but ya, like reduced fall damage for 1 hour.

the only others i can come up with at the moment would be mostly useless for anything other that show.

No it doesn’t unless you’re talking about tagging all events on an event map though you’ll get DR after a bit which means you have to stop. If you’re talking about chest farming, killing all the random mobs while you’re mapping gets you way more skill points in less time and is a heck of a lot less boring. Also gets me progress on map completions.

I’m not doing map completion while I’m leveling. I do map completion with full ascended and dps builds so things die quickly. If you kill things that haven’t been killed in a while with full xp buffs up, you get around 6-7k xp per kill with mobs being grouped up fairly close together where I can pull 5-15 together fairly easily and kill them at once. Getting 70k xp whenever I fight groups is faster than SW chest farming.

Edit:
An example: http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/2vobml/my_1k_silverwaste_bag_opening_results/
This guy got 158 skill point scrolls from 1000 Champ bags. That same number of skill points I would get from 7 or 8 maps which would take me about 1.5 hours each since I kill most things I come across. Unless you’re telling me you can farm 1000 champ bags in 12 hours or less, I’d rather go get map completions while getting skill points than farm SW chests and go brain dead. I make my gold off the TP so money isn’t a problem for me.

As a note, you can trade random boosters in to the armor rep near the Black Lion Trading Post. It’s a little obscure, but he sells dust and has menu options to convert boosters of one type into:
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Enchanted_Reward_Boost
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Enchanted_Combat_Boost

So you can turn ones you don’t use into ones that you can use.

I’ve converted a few boosters into useful ones, the speed booster is good, the karma and MF ones are nice, even thought they dont work on 90% of the items dropped in game… Karma boost is nice when running the karma train in wvw, so is the wvwxp boosters. Crafting boosters are the most useful to the lower levels or to those going for grand artisan achieve… I would like to see one for the champ bags, but I know in asking for that they would have to nerf the amount of bags dropping to keep from tanking the economy…

to be honest I think the vast majority of people farming the bags are after the off chance they might get that pre or super rare item to sell to make gold to further fund their legendary/rare skin habit.

As far as new boosters and ideas go, make them all a selectable type to save inventory slots and less for server to have to keep track of on anets side. use a drop down box like they do on legendary selectable stats, instead of making us spend real money to change them to something we want. greedy…
