Q:

Hello there !

I still have my first day’s Tome of Influence. I still wonder what will it become after HoT update, if I don’t use it ?

I would use it before the expansion as they are removing influence and changing it.

“We’re breaking apart influence and assigning its functions to three new currencies: favor, aetherium, and resonance.”

“You’ll no longer be able to gain influence once the new system is live, ….”

Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

They aren’t removing any existing Influence in HoT. I see no need for any change to that item. The tome would just add some influence to the guild and then it could be used for the things then mentioned in the article.

If you can’t gain influence because new influence doesn’t exist then the tome is likely not useable after the changeover.

I think you are focusing too much on the “gain” but at most the tome is worth 2g …

For most things you don’t need the actual item, you can just get the code from the wiki for it and ping that into chat.

Where in the world did you get the notion I’m talking about gold? You can gain in more ways than gold, gain friends for example. In this case I’m taking about gaining (increasing) the amount of influence. The game is going to remove the ability to gain (increase) influence. If you can’t increase your guilds influence then the tome won’t work as it adds influence to the guild.

1000 influence cost 2g.

The point about you focusing too much on “gain” is because while it is true that you won’t be able to gain influence through the typical means anymore there is no reason for this item to stop working since influence is remaining in the game indefinitely(at least I don’t remember any mention of use it or lose it in the article) and there was also no need for the article(s?) to mention this minor thing.

I still wasn’t talking about the gold value so that 1000 cost 2 gold comment is completely irrelevant. I was talking about the part of the post where they said there will be no more NEW influence. If a guild can not gain influence then the tome will not work when the expansion arrives.

As my post above said.

Using a tome adds influence. If the guild can’t gain (increase) influence then the tome will not work.
