Guild Wars 2

Ok so:
Crystalline ore rates been updated. Good.
Airship Oil/Auric Dust you also get from Noxious Pods in Dragon Stand, but you dont get Leyline Sparks from them. Why?
Not to mention TD seems to give lowest map currency/hour comapred to VB/AB, so Chak Acid is more expensive. Whats more annoying, you dont have 100% to get spark from Cache. Crystalline Ore is now AT LEAST 1 (up to 10 if lucky)
Can we get caches updated to work same way? guaranteed 1 spark with chance of more (maybe not 10, but 3/5)? Or/and add sparks to Noxious Pods

I got Leyline Sparks from Noxious Pods, so we can.

I get plenty of sparks from the caches and they are available all the time, unlike the pods. If you do the full event cycle (which admittedly should be shorter) you get plenty of crystals.

can we really? i did mouth 20+ times. i always get tons of oil/dust. now more crystaline. dont remember getting a SINGLE spark ;/
i also played lots of TD (got most of achis from there, many gerent attempts), almost none of VB. i still have 1,5x more oil than sparks.

also sparks are needed for infused tools for guild hall, cant recall oil/dust being used for sth similar

I’m in your camp. Not done DS that much, maybe 8 times, but don’t ever recall getting a Spark from a Pod.

…yet!

Presumably no one guild has finished the Guild Hall yet so there could be something further down the line.

Bump, and same here. You supposedly get a few from the story, but finding these things in world is painful. It’d be nice to get a slightly increased drop rate on this account bound, non-vendorable item.

TD map is stupid. Events for meta events finishes within 20 mins of the starting, and T1,2,3 boxes hold for another 1hr and 30 mins which you have to do none rewarding events to keep your participation up for. its just plain stupid the more you think about it.
