Guild Wars 2

Title.

Tired of struggling to collect Ley Line Crystals because the maps are empty and only getting a couple every hour or so by tagging and failing the Gerant event.

And on that note, the initial Outpost events are way too short for how much time is between the Outposts and Gerant. You can finish the Outposts in like 30minutes even on a low pop map then you’re left with something like an hour(?) until the main event.

Please allow the Outpost events to award more Crystals, at the very least.

I find crystals most easy to get. I start with nuhoch events then go scar then meta.

If you want crystals, do the events leading up to the meta. You get a decent amount for doing the events and from Nuhoch hunting bags, then another 50-75ish (don’t recall the exact numbers) even if the meta fails. Most of the events can be done solo or with a very small number of players.

I do agree that the complete event cycle for this zone is much too long.

And this is assuming, of course, that you can find a map that’s actually doing the events leading up to the meta in the first place. This is often far more easily said than done from my experience.

do the daily hp points in verdant first get those chests but dont open them until you go to tangled depth and you get crystals. Repeat for the other map.

Killing mobs that award exp, and getting crystal bags seem to be a fast way to get crystals. I get 1 bag out of ever 20-30 kills. Each bag has anywhere between 5-55 crystals in it.

You don’t need a full map to do events, and even if the Gerent event fails you should be getting 75 crystals as a map reward when gerent starts on top of all the other sources. Assuming you actually get 200% participation. If I start from some time after gerent ends, I can usually get over 250 crystals in an hour or so.

Only thing I don’t like is the long lull between completing all events, getting 200%, and waiting an hour for gerent to start.

there are constant repeatable events to fill that lull. tag up and start an event train. a lot of champs spawn that arent really soloable. hang around scar and nuhoch in general, other places not as much, but everywhere still has things.

I know, but you don’t get the map rewards once the map rank reaches the end of tier 3 I think it was, which is like 15 leyline crystals every 10-15 min or so, the bouncy chest.

The events themselves don’t give as many crystals, if at all iirc, almost all crystals come from RNG loot, and map rewards for each step of tier completion.

That’s an ingenious idea! o.o

And as I said in that post, most of the events can be done solo. I know at least one in the SCAR lane that seemed impossible solo, but most can be done.
