Guild Wars 2

Just a fyi..If you have any left over Mordrem Blooms [&AgGSEgEA] you can trade them in for a decent amount of sand. 5 blooms + 2s 48c = 100 silky sand

Thx for posting, think I have about 400 blooms, might just convert it.

Huh, I had 15 blooms left over but didn’t see anything I could buy with them. I’ll go back to look for the sand since I need 27 more lumps of glass just now and I can’t do SW all day.

Speaking of SW, note that you can also spend bandit crests on sandy bags of gear, bottom of the first tab in the Camp Resolve vendor. I find that I can buy 10 bags (80 copper and 15 crests each) and get around 5 coarse sand from the purchase once I process the sand in the bags, along with a lot of greens/blues to salvage for mats.

omg, i gonna be so rich now.

thanks for posting this.

Isn’t silky sand RNG for nearly worthless? I don’t remember ever getting anything of value other than an occasional geode.

Or is this just a sarcastic post to bait all those dungeon runners who can’t handle the gold spigot being reduced to a third to throw money away? Can’t tell.

Silky sand used to be more or less worthless, but now I get that new item from the sand quite a lot of the time, and it can be sold for a really nice amount of money.

One of the most demanded items comes from silky sand….coarse sand. How do you not know that?

Behellagh, each 10 silky sands has a chance to drop one coarse sand. 3 coarse sands + a thermo thingie make a lump of glass. You need lumps of glass to make glass mugs, and you need a million * glass mugs to upgrade a guild hall tavern. (I happen to need lumps of glass to make a vial of green goo, too, so I’m working on the 50 lumps that calls for).

So you can see that sand farming is a thing now.

• a million is for effect. It’s more like tens or hundreds. But it’s not easy for smaller guilds to amass.

I understand the need for coarse sand, I just don’t remember ever getting any before HoT, which was the last time I sifted fine sand.

Pardon my skepticism.
