Guild Wars 2

What am I to do with luck now that I’m max magic find???
1) Click it as it infinitely continues to collect
2) Destroy it as it infinitely continues to collect
3) Collect it and hope they give it a purpose
= Currently a Never Ending Pointless Waste of Space/Time

Solutions:
1) Stop giving luck after 300% mf (give 1-5 copper instead or whatever luck is worth)
2) Give it another purpose
-Turn it into vendor currency on special vendor
-Give it vendor value
-[Insert usage here]

how the hell did you get so many decomposing ecto cant give that mutch

Can I have some plz

I mean if we convince ANet to make it mail able and tradeable at the trading post

Once you get 300 MF, the only use for luck is to link it in map chat and ask what use it has.

I’m not close to 300 yet but this is a good question. Luck is used as a crafting ingredient for I think the lamps in the Mawdrey construction but I think that’s it. Maybe since they just introduced Mawdrey they will include Luck as a crafting ingredient in future recipes.

as a person of 300% magi find i can attest to that amount not being easily met through normal gameplay.. either that is photoshopped, or you continued hard farming of luck after hitting the cap to make some sort of statement, or you play the game in some odd manner that would afford you that amount.. there have been posts about this already, but posting an image of that sort is just giving arena net incentive to not do anything further with essence of luck as it is obviously farmed out of commission by certain players already.. so, if it is utilized as a currency, or ingredient in the future.. expect the end result to be items of virtually no value.. and you can thank certain players for that

That picture is photoshopped:

- the number of bags in use at the top left of the inventory does not show 160/160 as the bags do
- the luck value on the luck bar on the right should most likely show x/30,000 (the bigges possible luck step) cant really check this myself but the low number does not make sense

but the question what to do with luck once 300mf is achieved remains. As some recipes for luck exists they can not remove if from the droptables, so they will most likely add more recipes, a maudrey III which eats luck or a luck converter.

LOL dat 38/160 bag slots

If all your bags are showing, why can you scroll down so much in your inventory? Someone forgot to fix all the parts of their screenshot.

Amazing, had you not rushed getting to 304%, you would not be asking this in the first place.

The point of luck above 300%? Dunno, BUT;

Look to SilverWastes
Ran there with 620% luck:
drops become better tbh…

I only have 193% MF base… costs me about 22k luck for 1 level,
From achievements I have another 10 %
And I have a 20% MF infusion on my amulet… (well on one of my rangers and one of my warriors)

Additionally you can run…
100% birthday booster, (or celebration booster)
50% magic find booster,
100% improved magic find booster,
30% laureate magic find booster,
15% heroes banner,
30% halloween utility,
30% MF food…
10% guild bonus, and ofcourse
150% silverwastes bonus…
(50% bon-fire?)
better part stacks…

go figure out what magic find you can achieve… if you get above200%

He’s talking about what to do with all the Luck tokens you get from deconstruction and stuff after you reach 300 luck. You can’t use them to get higher than 300 luck.

And whether or not the screenshot is photoshopped doesn’t matter – the question is still valid.

According to wiki, max luck shows 472,510. Op’s picture shows 2075.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Luck
“Luck will continue to accumulate up to 472,510”

In addition, his ‘filled up’ inventory shows 38/160.

I fail to see the value of a thread that has a faked screenshot to make its “point”.

Still He has a point what to do with the luck then , BUT

he will still need to salvage all drops for quite some time… or go and salvage ecto’s at a mind boggling cost, BUT then he will get his 300 % MF for 600-1000 gold depending on his actual luck in salvaging the ecto’s not counting the costs of the salvage…

And he could do with no longer salvaging anything (filling up his inventory so often…) and just selling….

@ Roguefire

I see you don’t have allot “luck” with photoshopping.
Everyone can see it – FAIL xD
Better “luck” next time :p

The only way to get enough luck is by playing excessively and/or buying up items to salvage. I highly suspect that this was meant as a long term goal but a small percentage of players felt they needed to reach it quickly.

Mmhmm. And that’s why I find it highly unlikely that ANet will introduce any big new sink for them anytime soon. The number of players who have maxed MF is probably a tiny percentage of the player base, and it’s just not worth development time right now. Rightly or wrongly, it’s partially their own fault for rushing to the goal for something that was clearly intended to be a massive, years-long grind by playing normally.

Someone may have pointed this out already, but if you’re going to photoshop stuff.. you MIGHT wanna pay attention to the number that says 38/160, hunny.

Other than that as far as I know there is nothing to do with MF after you’ve reached the max. So either destroy it? Save some for Monthly Mastercrafter, or ….. whine? Most people aren’t anywhere near 300% those few of us that have it just kinda deal. Maybe they will put some way to use it in the future for something else.

Epic fail on the Photoshop…why lie for? I don’t understand people like you…

Too many ways to prove the image to be shopped.

Even if you hadn’t, 7600AP and 300% luck would mean you farmed like MAD to get to that kind of luck, which is your own fault.

I tend to agree with the OP; if you’ve maxed out MF through luck, there is no longer a use for it. The devs have to have expected this (after all, we do have a Diamond Legend rank WvW player and there is no rank beyond that) because people are people and people will grind. Perhaps make luck something to convert in the MF? I dunno.

Thuh… Last row is a fail, 2 pixels off… Anet please ban this guy.

I removed the screenshot. People seemed more interested in that than the point at hand. I am currently working on my Wife’s magic find now as I saw a huge waste in my stacks of magic find. Once she is maxed I will literally have nothing else but stacks upon stacks… that image was not an exaggeration as I can gather 2 stacks of 250 200 lucks a day.

Wow, I thought I was awesome for having 30% magic find. I’m going to pretend that I’m still awesome for having 30%. I choose to remain blissfully ignorant.

You couldn’t have spent 2+ years maxing account magic find as it was introduced Sep 2013.

Luck hasn’t been a thing for 2+ years. It was converted in the first Feature Pack I believe. So little over a year ago. And the rate at which you earn Magic Find at the higher levels ( one Exotic stack isn’t even 1% at around 200) does make it seem ridiculous that unless you actively Hunting it (some of us did and do, btw. That is a personal choice though and leaves little to no room for whining), getting 2 stacks of Exotic Grade Luck a day is an exaggeration. Also while I did make a comment about the silly photo shopped image (which would have been find had you just said “Look at what could happen!” instead of playing it off like it was real) I did give you feedback on the actual title… There ISN’T a point after 300% currently.

Once you hit 300 you would just merchant and stop salvaging…I don’t see the problem.

I’ll put the grinding for luck this way:

You need 4.3 million luck to max it out if starting from zero.
There have been 440 days since luck was introduced.
You’d need to earn 9,440 luck per day.

It’s improbable to get this much through normal play so you were going out of your way to acquire it.

Edit: Why was the number version of four hundred and forty filtered?

I suggest using all those stacks of Essences of Luck you have to get your Magic Find points up over ~2,700. There must be some bug with your account!

Anyone with any desire for event drops from whatever event’s bag, will soon cap and just keep getting more.

The way they throw Luck at us, I’m certain it’s to cover something and plain useless to begin with.

Whats the point? Once you hit that cap can you still click luck?

I didn’t see the pic that the OP posted, but I have 300% MF, and at least 1.5 million luck essences sitting in storage.

I would also like an answer to this question. Up until a month or two ago, you could at least click it, and keep track of it past 300%. Now, nothing.

I think it’s fair to offer a trader for these….maybe a mini pet?

Why you could have sold all those blue/greens on the tp or vendor trashed them…… Luck was added to the items as a bonus they dident take away any resources from said item when you salvaged them.

Edit
I would advocate a skrit thief that steal shiney luck and drop something like the mawdey 2 do for bloodstone dust tho =) and while your on it make a similar thing for empyrian fragmants and dragnoite ore aswell

I have about 300,000 Essence of Luck stored right now… and will continue to collect it with nothing to do with it. Do I delete it?

By the way getting a full stack of the 200 luck x 250 = 50k luck is pretty easy to do in a day for TP flippers who salvage and sell the mats for profit. I used to do this while making money and raised my luck doing that in a short period of time. So getting a stack a day you can easily hit the magic find cap in 86 days.

i guess so been asking the same about empyrian fragments dragonite ore and bloodstone dust before mawdey 2

You could always stop salvaging the green/blues sell them on tp buy whites and salvage those for materials.

4. Not gripe about maxing out a system that normal play wouldn’t have you complete for another two years?

hes saying its normal play for him

fundraising is normal

Everyone in the entire game has the ability to get max magic find in less than 3 months… saying normal play, is like trying to define a ‘normal’ person.

I’m asking for them at the very least to just remove magic find once you cap. I’m not asking for anything really beneficial, but that would be nice too

So I can refute the arguments that people make about the high amount of AP needed for AP skins by stating that they can just grind the AP as that is now considered normal gameplay?

What you’re doing is taking what normal is and tying it subjectively to one person rather than an average across the player base.

The point of my post was that it is not normal for the average player to go out of their way to grind out the luck needed to max out MF. It’s just not something that is commonly done.

And im asking why it should be implemented whats mentaly making you have to salvage all the blue/greens you get?

I played way more then 3 months since mf was added into the game and im only at 160%

well a bunch of people do it for money. Salvaging blue/green on the TP for the material.

I can’t remember the exact number. I can make around 10 gold/hour. And one of the trading post veterans says he’s making much much more than me just placing buy order and salavage it for money. I think it’s in the range of 30+ gold/hour.

It’s probably much harder to do it now since there are much more competition. If you are making 30+ gold per hour, I think salvaging make enough money for you.

well if you do it for money just destroy the unwanted material

I salvage blues and greens because it is more profitable than selling them outright. If I have max magic find there is literally no reason for luck to continue collecting on my account.

Just scrap them- we’ve been asking for anything useful for badges from wvw for the last 2 years and nothing came of that either…not even being able to make ascended rings, etc that you otherwise have to do something dreadful for like fractals.

At the time, it was profitable to salvage/sell. So after getting the 300% MF, I continued for a bit longer until I went bonkers. Now I have a ton of essences, that I would like to use for something.
