Guild Wars 2

Hello,
I’m coming back on GW2 along with 4 friends to prepare for HoT and to taste the new content. and because we missed it aswell.

We are getting confused with the new currencies and materials, how are we supposed to handle so many of them (in quantities)

I have understood that geodes for example are required to craft stuff and buy recipes, but it takes us time to level up crafters to use them and we end up with thousands (literally) of geodes/bandit crests/keys in our vaults.
Same goes for all the ascended crafting materials we still don’t know anything about : all we know is that half our -extended- bank vault is full of powder, crystals, dragonite ore, geodes, keys, bandit things and whatnot.

the 250 limitation was perfect for T1->6 old materials. you’re not gonna loot 250 T5 blood or 250 ori bars in one day unless you really insist on doing so.
but with the pvp rewards tracks and dongeons and world bosses, we get like 250 ascended crystals, geodes and dragonite every 2 days. the 250 limitation shouldn’t apply on everything because the rate at which we loot isn’t the same for everything.
and the new currencies should be added to the wallet, because it’s a currency (geodes, bandit crests)

Sorry for the long post and thanks for reading.
Many people are returning to prepare HoT and I strongly believe that maaany of them can relate to what I’ve said.

btw thanks for the wardrobe system, this is one hell of a good change. keep up the good job.

You can consult the Wiki as to the purpose of each item. Discard those you have no use for. Conversely, you can invest in Material Storage expanders, bank slots, Ascended material consumers, etc.

Welcome return, and good luck!

Alternatively, bank/mule alt works the best for storing excessive quantities of crap that should get some where else to go or that drop in excess.

yes the game gives you a ton of crap to sift through and store now. Its a turnoff for many people.

I’ve thought about having a mule character but unfortunately all my slots are taken by lv80, and I use all of them for different purposes other than storing crap.

Thanks for your solutions but.. I have brought some illogical points I still need to find an explanation for (same storage limit for items which drop rate is incredibly different)
and all of your solutions somehow involve throwing stuff away or buying gems (expand vault, add character slot, storage expander). which I cannot really afford. I already expanded my bank vault once back in the day where gold could get you store items, and it’s already filled with these new mats/currencies :/

not quite sure Anet reads our points of view though.
