Guild Wars 2

Has it been confirmed or denied whether new materials and items introduced in Heart of Thorns will be added to the champion loot bag loot tables in any capacity? I follow the news relatively closely and haven’t been able to find a definitive yay or nay. I have quite a bit of bags saved up just in case, but with the salvage output reductions they have coming down the pipe, I’d rather open them pre-launch if there won’t be any new items.

Dunno how sensitive that information is, since the knowledge could affect the economy around champ bags very seriously, but if it’s out there or if it’s safe to reveal I’d love to know

I’m pretty sure it has not been announced.

I’m gambling on a new loot table, but who knows?

Good luck.

Aye, and to you as well

The only concrete news so far (i think )affecting old loot tables is that salvaging of blues/greens will be getting nerfed, so it might be better to open now.

But who knows, there might be new exotics or mats or w/e added, so yea, its definitely a gamble either way.

My main concern isn’t as much whether new items will be added, but where. They could have new items only in the loot tables for new champ bags dropped in the maguuma jungle, leaving the thousands of core game bags I have saved up out in the cold.

That’s the gamble, then. I don’t have that many, nor do I chase Gold, so it doesn’t really matter to me.

I’d rather take a chance on something new, it’s less boring. But, that’s just me.

There’s the new daily champion fights, that were promised. Those are supposed to have unique loot and be somewhat challenging. Not sure if that’s an item scrapped for release or not.

I’ve decided to open this week just in case. Thanks for the responses

Remember, that the champ boxes are not universal – there are diffeent types with slightly different drop tables, that come from different areas/monster types. I fully expect, that if there will be any new drops coming from champ boxes, they will come from HoT-specific boxes only.

Even with the current salvage rates ascended armor crafting is too expensive especially since fabric is required for everything.
