Guild Wars 2

Now I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not the biggest lore connoisseur, but isn’t it a bit odd that the Bloodstone is so trivialized?

There’s a fragment of it that it used as a focus and now this dust…

Well, while the Bloodseeker uses the Bloodstone Shard from Arah skin, nothing says it’s an actual bloodstone shard.

But yeah, the Bloodstone’s now become trivialized. First used in making Legendaries, then that interview with Angel McCoy where she basically negated everything of value the Bloodstones had, and now this where you’re tampering with dust and shards of the bloodstone (despite it being stated in Eye of the North that physically tampering with the Bloodstone can prove dangerous).

I don’t see the Ascended crafting materials as having anything of lore value – even the Ascended rings and so forth. Khilbron’s Phylactery kind of told me to ignore all lore on them, since such an object would have had to be destroyed in Prophecies to kill him, and let’s be honest – no lich in the Guild Wars universe has a Phylactery as far as we know. Liches in the GW universe don’t function the same as liches in D&D… or at least didn’t.

With how things are going, who knows, maybe they’ll end up retconing the history so that Dwayna was Khilbron’s mother as well.

Haha man, that sucks. Well thanks for the response.

This made me laugh. I am getting just a little more than annoyed how they seem to be taking a huge dump on previous lore. I know we have discussed this before, but now we apparently have people, past and present, who were out scraping the bloodstones and putting the dust in baggies for us to discover in the world. And lots of it.

With all that powerful magic out there, wouldn’t the Elder Dragons be going ape kitten over their lieutenants carrying this stuff around and dropping it each time they get defeated?

You would think that bloodstone dust would be like cocaine for the ED’s and they certainly wouldn’t be letting their underlings keep the stuff. Well, IMO anyway.
