Guild Wars 2

Checked several pages in this forum and couldn’t find the subject matter, so:

We currently have to use skill points to buy the book at the forge to create superior siege. Since sp’s are going away with the expansion, what will the new currency be? Will the hero points takes the place of the sp’s for this? (Seems unlikely, but possible I guess.)

And, since sp’s will apparently be converted into masses of materials which I may or may not need, would it be a better investment for me to go ahead and convert them all now and just stockpile superior siege?

no. the skill points will be still there. They will be converted into an wallet currency (not hero points) that can be used to buy exactly what you can buy right now (seige, forge materials….).
They did confuse us by saying “materials” but later they explained that part.

and based on what they said before, skillpoint scrolls will drop more in the game so you can still buy stuffs with them.

So you can hold on to those sp and convert them later. Will probably take less clicking than consuming the scrolls like right now.

“New currency to replace skill points that will be in the wallet. You get them from champ bags and other sources. This currency allow you to buy crafting mats that used to require skill points.”
