Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone, i’m not sure if this has been answered or not but is there a reason we can’t stack Salvage kits to 250? They take up a lot of bag space

The reason is because devs don’t want to allow that.
What you can do is make a Mystic Salvage Kit, it comes in a bundle of 250 uses.

Are there other multi-use items which can stack with each other? I’m struggling to think of any. cue someone instantly thinking of a dozen

I don’t think there are any, bar one-time consumable items, which I don’t think really count here.

Gathering tools don’t stack either, which was the very first thing I thought of.

They want you to either

A) Spend gems on the salvage machine
B) Make the kit in MF where you eventually need to spend gems for stones
C) Spend gems on bag slots so you can stock up on more kits

Either way, you spend gems for QoL. Just how they intended.

Lack of forum search strikes again.

I’ll find a way to live with myself

I’m complaining about the forum software, not that you didn’t realize this was still being talked about yesterday on another thread.

Touche good sir or madam. Good on you unwarranted snippyness apology

They can’t stack or merge because they aren’t stacks of things

They are a single object, like a sword, that has a limited number of uses.
Same for mining picks, one object that you use 100 times before it breaks.

Really, you think you’re buying a stack of 100 mining picks that each have only a single use? Seriously, don’t be silly.

Actually yea thats what I thought. Because after I use it for a couple of whacks it seems to break and use another.

It’s more that the ore node you’re mining runs out of ore, not that you’re breaking a pick.

Wintersday boxes are one-time consumables.

Either way, you spend gems for QoL. Just how they intended.

These mechanics were in place in GW1 and GW2, long before any QoL items existed. It’s pretty standard for RPGs.

Now, we might all ask why it’s a common mechanic. However, I don’t think it’s reasonable to imply that it’s some sort of Machiavellian manipulation on ANet’s part (evidence is strong that they are extremely bad at anything like that).
