Guild Wars 2

someone on reddit came up with a very real possibility for this new blade shard trader, and I truly hope he’s wrong on this one but i doubt it.

blade shard merchant will be in this year’s bazaar of the four winds update.

think about it, what does bazaar of the four winds do primarily ?
take useless or otherwise excess materials from the playerbase in trade for other items.

Sound familiar ?

there mystery solved.

Why do you hope he’s wrong? Sounds handy.

What slays me about this whole thing is that it was announced now… it’s way too late for the overwhelming majority of my previous living world stuff, so this whole merchant is just another great big “Suck to be you Inimicus” from anet. They really should have just put the old rewards into the achievements window alongside the radiant/hellfire and zenith weapons… Thing even keeps track of “Historical” achievment gains, so it isn’t like they can’t figure out who was where and did what.

I remember the first time the Bazaar came and I saw silk scrap on the live stream I went running to buy some 4k of the stuff, 2 days later sold for a tiny profit.

If I knew the price it would hit now a days I would have stack up on it $_$

You and me both… anyone who stocked way way up on all those mats are now either filthy rich, or have enough collateral sale material to fill Scrooge McDuck’s money bin several times over Y-Y

sounds handy but it means we gotta wait quite a while, that’s the problem.

I had 50+ stacks of it made a killing

but…..

than I tried to get a kitten precursor from the mystic forge and lost 800g down the toilet.

now….

I’m 4/6 on my ascended and I’m out of silk !

They already describe the trader for blade shards as “she”.

Its Marjorie’s sister, who we will be seeing at the entryway to the new zone.

another great theory that also points to a far off date
I don’t wanna keep all those stacks for sooo long.
I need the space.

Marjory’s sister will trade random junk for Blade shards in order to build a massive lawnmower to cut through the foliage of NW Maguuma Jungle.

Calling it now!

Yeah, fair enough. Its probably going to be a while before everyone who doesn’t want/need them is able to get rid of them. Plus they’re coming from the sprocket node so they’re going to build up even more.

I wish the shards were tradeable. X:

I hope whoever it is, is right. I’ve got way too many blade shards I’ll never use.

Anet also needs to do something about the abundance of thick leather sections. There’s over 6,600,000 of it on the trading post. It’s merch food and there’s too much of it. Perhaps offer some zephyr sanctum supply box or something for 250 thick leather sections, like what they did in the Bazaar of the Four Winds living story.
