Guild Wars 2

I missed the live stream last night, but I noticed the price of silk scraps went up almost 50% overnight. Anyone want to clue me in on what was announced that would cause this because I can’t find it.

I think it’s currently only been announced on fansites, but when they increase players’ stats with the trait→specialisation change, they’re also making the stat gap between exotics and ascended 10% instead of the current ~5%.

This price increase is in anticipation of a lot of people deciding to make ascended armour now.

You can buy HoT with 500.000 bolts of silk. Core game included.

Ascended will now be 10% better than exotics. People are preparing for the grind. That’s why.

Doing 2 SW runs, you get around a silk stack worth of salvages. If prices goes up, more people will farm and prices goes down again.

You guys need to stop using my crafting mats as a means for currency in this game. I am an old-fashioned crafter. I like to farm my own mats and craft my own gear. Since Anet changed the ratio from 2:1 to 3:1, it’s been impossible to get the mats I need for my tailoring cooldowns from simply playing the game. I have three light armor toons I am trying to outfit with their first ascended. Ironically, I get all the mats I need in WvW to do the other 3 crafting dailies. I play mostly WvW,. Since my server is low pop in WvW, every moment I spend zoned out, is lost ground. Farming SW and dungeons is profitable but leaves me feeling like a deserter.

You need 100 bolts or 300 scraps of silk to do your daily cooldown. I farmed Highpeaks Waypoint today with 300% magic find for 30 minutes. I got 13 scraps of silk. I played in WvW for 6 hours yesterday and got 18 bolts. These drop rates are out of whack.

Are those three light armour characters all Necromancers, Bishop? Because this was some high quality thread necromancy right here.

necromancers on work here

Necromancy, I don’t get it

I f you have a suggestion how I can help my server while still getting my crafting needs done, please offer it.

What he is saying is, you dug up a 3 month old thread which has near no relation to the current market.

Due to the personal loot system, loot in GW2 is balanced around the community as a whole, so if you want to see a decent score, you’ll need to use the trading post. It’s why loot can appear to be so bad on an individual level, but step back and it’s far better for the group as a whole compared to other MMOs.

13 scraps in 30 minutes by specifically farming them, vs ~200 scraps in 30 minutes by farming gold and relying on buy orders.

oh god this 3 month old conversation is being revived

I’ve posted new threads asking a question many times. Often times, someone pipes in telling me that the issue was already covered… basically telling me to shut up and ask the internet. So, in this instance, I tried to find a thread that covered it. The cost of silk is a market question.

Nope the originally topic is gone for about 3 month and irrelevant now cause there is no 5% → 10% raise …

I apologize, but I didn’t see this topic 3 months ago. Does my opinion not matter then? Is the issue resolved? I dug around and still see people not happy with the current situation of silk supply and price. If the issue doesn’t matter to you, why do you feel you need to flame me?

I just took a look at all the people flaming me and their posting history. It looks like you guys have hundreds of comments, some helpful, most similar to this one. This tells me you guys are just trolling and just want to silence any voice but your own.

I will try to find threads that are more specific to my topic. Please be more receptive to others wanting to participate in this community. More voice matter than just your own.

Since the discussion in this thread is no longer constructive this thread is now closed.
