Guild Wars 2

Less than a week away and i realised i had over 300 of these.
Will they work in HoT or will i have to use them now?

Take this advice with a grant of salt: use them now since the drop rates will be reduced in HoT to “balance” the economy

It depends on what you want. If you care about salvaging the output do what sunshine says. If you don’t then it doesn’t matter.

Link to official statement? Thought they were only reducing the drops gold you get from doing actual dungeons since farming dungeons is too rewarding atm.

They also mentioned reducing the drop rate of things like Thick Leather Section to increase scarcity. Look at the jump in price of that on the trading post.

And? How does this affect reward tracks? All it means is less drop rate of an item that doesn’t sell for much anyway.

Yes, but you still get the same number of chests and the chests still give the same total number of items. All this means is you are more likely to get something that is not leather sections.

The economy will change. Let me break it down for you.

Let’s assume that you open 10 chests and get 100 Green for simplicity.

Before the drop rate nerf, you can convert that gears to, let’s say 100 Thick Leather Section. After the drop rate nerf, it would be 50.

Regardless, the price will jump, to let’s say 1 silver due to lower supply and more demand (more things to craft)

If you open it now, you will earn a good profit since you get more of those “currently cheap” mats which is about to raise in price.

Of course, this post made a lot of assumption, so don’t trust it with your life

‘Balancing the economy’ is a two-way thing. Increasing the drop rate of one item means that the drop rate of other items will decrease (therefore decreasing the price of those items), so overall the money you make from these chests should be about the same.

Yall forgot the shards though. If he uses the PvP pots after launch he will get those shards that he can sell if he wants.

Don’t forget the transmutation charges though.

The shards aren’t just being added, they’re replacing transmutation charges.

So, what do you value more? Shards of Glory, or Transmutation Charges?

replace every 2nd transmute charge"

i say save for hot because there will be a track that gives a black lion key @ end, use on that track.

I doubt they change.

Use them to level up halloween’s reward track (if its better than last years track), or save then for a community event (15% bonus) and level up the HoT tracks.

Shards.

I have zero shards and over 100 T charges. If I need more free T charges I’ll make a char and run him through the cities or do more PvP as PvP still gives T charges, just not as many.
