Guild Wars 2

Well, not sure if u guys already know, but the recent LS patch brought a new item that eats bloodstone dust (50x) and gives you a gift containing (1xequipment, 1xcraft mat, 1-3 white trash for sell).

So, I’m happy that I didn’t destroyed my ascended mats and have 7 mules filled with it.
Maybe more things like this hapen in future, so, as long as you have bank tabs/mule character to hold, is always nice

Even with seven mules loaded with bloodstone dust, you’d only be getting a few gold from Mawdrey II.

It is as if ANet hs read just this thread and added just for it the effect of mawdrey…

finally something in the game that heps in gettign rid of all the dust and gettign something useful from it.
I hope we will see soon similar items for empereal shards and dragonite ore too

Players have been complaining about them since the mats were first introduced. Anet does listen, people just don’t understand that their response is not instantaneous.

Or their response is “No we don’t agree, and we’re not making this change.” But that would kitten off too many players so they just stay silent.

I can’t find anything on this, got any sources? And what part of my soul do the want for it?

It’s the Mawdrey II item that you get while crafting the new back piece. You’re going to be expending far more in the crafting of it than you’ll earn from it consuming dust, particularly with the dust consumption limited to 200 per day.

Oh, then they don’t want a part of my soul for it, I’d also need to sell my body…

I have stacks and stacks of spare ascended mats lying around, that I have no choice but to delete the rest that I get or I will run out of space.

I’m storing a LOT of stacks of these, in Hope they may bring up somehting that I can spend them on. Not this new backpack, that’s sure.

I would like to see a recipe for the mystic forge that is similar to mystic clovers that uses bloodstone dust, fragments, and dragonite ore to make T6 mats!

I don’t destroy, I simply leveled one of my crafting disciplines so that I could craft them and put them in my bank in case I ever want them. Not using them now, but who knows in the future.

Glad to know that a “sink” for excess BS dust was created (mawdry2). Can’t wait for a dragonite & empyreal sink too… I still have at least 20 stacks of each + over 125 refined bricks of each.

btw of a sink, can’t we just trade 1 dragonite ore or 1 empyreal fragment for random qty of pile of silky sand? At least there’s a chance for geodes after all that mouse clicking…

As an aside, I know someone that actually quit the game because he didn’t want to just keep deleting in-game wvw rewards. He didn’t want to craft & had 2 alts with 4 20 slot bags FULL of nothing but Empyreal fragment stacks when he quit (since he averaged 24hrs per wk in wvw for about a year)

In response to the OP, not yet.

I have one character who has their entire inventory full of them and I’m working on another. I originally was holding into to these for when they let us level the other two crafting professions to 500.

It’s getting to the piont where I’m going to calculate out how much I’n going to actually need and just start tossing everything else. The 50G+ that it would cost to refine all of them isn’t worth it.

Actually there is a hint in the new living story instance: a guy wants to create food with bloodstone dust as an igredient. Probably another ascended-material-sink(cooking 500?). Mawdrew is nice, though he doesn’t eat enough- my supplies are still growing^^

You probably lost more gold crafting Mawdrey than you’ll ever get back from her. If you had not crafted Mawdrey and trashed the dust you’re feeding her, you’d probably be ahead of where you are now.

Most of the time yes, i get far more ascendant materials than i can possibly use. Problem is, in most cases, reaching 500 on any given profession is such a pain in the kitten that i would venture most people dont do it, and all those mats get deleted.

In my collections, there’s a stack of the refined versions of each of the ascended materials. This is what becomes of having no interest in creating anything ascended and just chewing through materials to create refined versions (bricks, ingots and stars) of the ascended stuff.

Mawdrey II now has the bloodstone dust covered. I still find myself deleting the dragonite ore from events and now the empyreal shards from Halloween and now Silverwastes.

There should be (and always have been) a more legitimate way to relieve oneself of the ascended gear, such as a merchant. They found a legitimate way to ‘delete’ bloodstone dust from your inventory with Mawdrey II, now the other materials have to play catch-up.

I do, I keep only Dragonite because it’s the one you don’t end up drowning inside unless you hunt world bosses hardcore.

Did Anet introduce a ascended-mats-sink into the game with hot? I’m stuck with 4 chars hoarded with this junk and I’m very sad I’m unable to play with them. It doesn’t have to give an advantage, just a useful way to get rid of it…

They introduced ways to get rid of it before HoT, the first one was added back during Season 2.

Mawdrey II for bloodstone dust
“Star of Gratitude”: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Star_of_Gratitude for empyreal fragments
Princess for dragonite ore

Unfortunately the Star is only available during Wintersday and Mawdrey II takes quite a while (and/or a fair bit of gold) to get. Princess is relatively quick though, especially if you use a guide.

I try making them into ingots (even then Princess still has more to spare) to save space since I don’t like wasting but if I get an exotic from a chest a stack of ascended is the first thing to destroy before griefers lead the dogs to the chest room (for any dev reading this I know how you don’t like griefing so… ;) and ;) means here put up an invisible wall at the door where only the dogs get collision detection )

HoT has also brought with it an item obtained by a scavenger hunt that eats 250 x bloodstone dust a day.
