Guild Wars 2

What’s the point of doing the DS event? I honestly don’t get it. I’ve completed it 4 times and walked away wondering why I did it each time. It’s fun, but the rewards are borderline non-existent unless you’re lucky enough to get the Mordrem Saber. Why aren’t any of the new map currencies given?

I’m yet to see it complete, but I thought successfully completing it reveals the location of noxious chests, which you can open with machetes? Successful completion also unlocks the merchants from which you purchase various collection items, such as for your ascended elite specialisation gear.

crystalline ore is required for numerous rewards, like every single specialization weapon

there’s also getting the new Converter

I believe Leystone armor is also DS?
