Guild Wars 2

Which enrichment are you running in your amulet and why?

I was debating over which enrichment to use,…thinking gilded or magical? don’t need experience boost and have plenty of karma.

Can’t find any information on which is more profitable running fractals gold from monsters or magic find.

Since I can never have enough karma, I use the karma enrichment on my main toon. My magic find is so high now (about 290% base), the extra 20% isn’t worth it to me.

Karma on my wvw amulet.
Gilded on my pve amulet.

Mathematically I’d say karma because you typically don’t have any karma boosters on. I don’t really focus on karma related purchases, just burn it down at Christmas because it’s there and the occasional new map karma stuff.

I go with magic find because it’s always being used so long as I’m killing foes that drop loot in pve and wvw. Mathematically it’s not the best choice though, the more magic find you have the less meaningful an additional small amount is.

I’m at 7 million karma and can’t seem to spend it fast enough.

my base bonus are gold 59%
karma 17%
magic find 240%

but with magic find having an upper cap, I guess i’m leaning to gold now, but someone educate me on the merits of karma bonus?

I’m using magic find.

Just because the others for certain don’t give me anything I care about. With magic find, there’s a chance it’ll give me something I might care about.

Winter’s day vendor sell loot bags with alot of mid tier materials, so if you craft that is huge. There are also vendors on the new maps that are karma heavy spenders.

And because you don’t generally run +% karma any +% karma is actually a comparitivly large increase compared to the drop in a bucket that +20% magic find brings vs over 200%. For math sake, it improves overall magic find by like 7% I think when compared to not having it.

Thanks Justine,

yes i utilize the winterday vendor bags, have 5 stacks unopened in the bank,

Hmm looks like i should look for a youtube on converting karma to gold?

Pact Supply Network Agents would be your first step BC…

Magic find

tl;dr

• I recommend karma gain for fractal-frequenters or those who participate in tons of events (typically in the newer zones)
• I recommend Magic Find for everyone else.

• Magic Find always offers some value, if you kill a lot of foes; it has little value otherwise.
• Karma gain is great if you participate in a lot of events; there are various ways to monetize karma or otherwise make use of it.
• Gold Find used to be entirely useless: the amount of gold dropped by foes was small and the fractional difference could easily be sneezed at. However, for those who have high account bound MF and easy access to buffs, there are some situations in which it’s useful now.
• Experience gain seems critical when trying to max levels or masteries, but … it eventually becomes worthless. I don’t recommend investing in it.

+20% Magic Find is the way to go, IMO.

I seem to have run out of shards and karma, so My priority lies there… But ou could do fine without any buffs (291% MF)

I’d sell my soul for a 25% movement speed enrichment.

Legendaries in HoT eat up tons of karma so I go for that.
