Guild Wars 2

I spent roughly 5 hours in Tangled depths and only made 1100 leylines I think it’s called, what’s the fastest way to acquire these things?

It feels like a chore, especially since I wanna get back into WvW and join those other “skillful” roamers in face smashing the keyboard to win or spamming stealth to run.

Buy the exotic insignia/inscription recipe and stat-swap your ascended armor/weapons in the mystic forge.

The fastest way would be to join a squad that is doing the meta, preferably on multiple maps. Completing a lot of those events is either not feasible or not worth it timewise if you are soloing it. But in a prepared squad you can get a lot of the sparks fairly quickly

What he said. If you don’t have a set of ascended, make the one with the cheapest mats, then make the exotic Trailblazer insignia/inscription – whichever armor you have. Then just swap the stats in the Mystic Forge.

Much easier (and cheaper) – though, the mats for the insignia are crazy (you will need 18 Maguuma lillies, and they aren’t cheap). Plus Hardened Leather – also not cheap. If you are making inscriptions (for Heavy Armor) is cheaper since orichalcum can be farmed via nodes. The leather can’t be, ’natch.

Huh. I was wondering why hardended leather was nuts. Incidentally you can promote leather squares in the mystic forge, which… miiiiight…. be worth it now?

Those maguuma lillies are crazy rare though, basically a case of harvesting “jungle plants” nodes and praying. There’s 2 nodes in the middle of Tarir, so I always do those just on the off-chance of some easy cash.

You would be wasting around 9g on average trying to promote thick leather into hardened. Selling the thick leather and using the gold to buy thick leather would be better.
