Guild Wars 2

i have alot of agony +1 infusions however i think if i need agony i need to use 5 not 1 so i was wondering what should be done with all the agony +1

combine them to reach the amount you want.
1+1=2
2+2=3
and so forth

Crovax.7854:

2+2=3

Just wanted to take that out of context.

On a related note, you combine as crovax mentioned, using artificing and 1 thermocatalytic reagent (sold by crafting vendors).

Or you can just sell them on the TP and buy the desired +AR

Anet Agony math, where 2+2 actually does equal 3.
Made me do a double take even though I came here to say just about the exact same thing.
Combine them and use them or combine them and sell them.

EDIT: Because I didn’t do my homework before making a suggestion.

The correct formula is 2^n-1

where n is the infusion you want (+2, or +5, whatever). so for a +5, you would do 2^5-1 which is two +4 agony resistance inf

After taking into account the cost of reagents, there’s very little additional profit to be made combining +1 infusions unless you track the market very carefully…and if you are willing to invest that amount of time, you can make much more profit in other markets.

In short, sell your +1 infusions; there’s nothing else to do that will be worth your time.

As an example, the wiki article on agony infusion currently shows:

+10 agony infusion

• 512 +1 infusions, @9s 37c each (top right corner)
• 511 reagents: 7g 64s 46c
• TP price: 55g 51s 0c

That 55g looks nice and shiny compared to the reagent costs, until you add up what you could get from selling the +1 infusions, i.e. 47g 97s 44c (pre-fees). Combine that with the reagent costs and you’d actually lose a tiny bit of money overall. The math is similar for all other +x infusions.

You could watch the market and ensure a bit of profit by carefully selecting prices and infusion amounts, but again, if you want to invest that much time studying the TP, there are more lucrative markets out there.

I have 4 +6 agony resists but no option to make a +7 on my Artificer(500) any help would be appreciated.

you have to discover the next level, so go to the discovery tab and use your +6 infusions and a thermocatalytic reagent. this should unlock the 7 (then repeat with the 7s to get an 8 as well, since you have 4 +6)
