Guild Wars 2

Given that the acquisition of the vast majority of the old type boosters in the game would have been through BL Chests/Keys and therefore from Gem Sales, I think a lot of people would appreciate some way of clearing their bank space and converting them to the new style booster sets.

A forge recipe perhaps?

technically already exists (new boosters, apart from heroic, are in the Enchanted Reward Boost)

In the past, we’ve typically been given fair warning about changes like this (example, glory boosters and buffs to karma jugs).

I don’t find it particularly considerate that we did not have the opportunity to convert remaining Enchanted Boosters to Karma boosters, before the change was made.

Therefore, I request to please have this returned, temporarily, to enable those of us who want to do the conversion to be able to.

I only have 20 enchanted boosters, so I’m feeling lucky that I didn’t change all of what I had before, as I was planning to do.

What change are you talking about?

Edit: just saw there was a game update.

Nothing was eliminated, all the old ones still work the way they had. The old ones simply don’t drop anymore or can be bought from the Gem Shop.

Only real change is that Karma boosters now only drop as an in-game reward.

I just checked. I’d always traded mine in for these because it saves space (except karma ones)…

The ones you get in the gem store last 2 hours each. The ones you get from the boost enchantment powder are a paltry 20 minutes each.

No – Not quite – these just save inventory space and allow you to choose one of the now defunct old style booster which are much less powerful.

My guess is these and the associated powders etc to make them, have or will also be removed from the game.

Also you had to buy the extra ingredients just for the convenience of converting the single boosters into the choose on click type – now your 3 types are all combined into a single booster.

And some people had converted their existing Karma boosters into the select a boost booster with the knowledge that they could select Karma booster as an option when they went to use one.

That’s what the issue is. That players were not given any warning about the change to make any selection to at least get some Karma boosters back.

Hopefully, it’s just an oversight and someone forgot to add in Karma booster as an option.

I am hoping that is an oversight caused by removing karma boosters from the store. It’s not like any of the new ones were similar.

I didn’t convert karma boosters to enchanted, I made enchanted with other boosters to turn them into karma when needed… and now, we can’t do that anymore.

Yup. If I had known this change was coming, I would have designated a character to eat up all the karma boosts and just take them out for the relevant events (typically: final boss fractal).

Id like this too.

So to clarify: We now have

1) Item Booster which has all the benefits you used to get from the Magic Find + Crafting+ Gathering boosters all at once AND for a longer duration AND is much cheaper

2)Experience Booster which has all the benefits you used to get from the Exp + Wxp + killstreak boosters AND Gives 50% reward track progress AND lasts longer AND is much cheaper.

Certainly this a great thing going forward but for those that have already purchased these items I think the very least that should be happening is either all the old boosters are automatically converted 1:1 into the new types or a merchant is introduced where they can be exchanged 1:1
