Guild Wars 2

So people have probably discovered by now that you can combine the various Sentient munchers acquired from the past LS3 chapters to create a unified one, called Gleam of Sentience. (It kicks off the Legendary trinkets collection, but that’s not the issue here today.)

Using Gleam opens up a vendor window that I’m guessing in theory should provide the services of all four. However, there are only 3 options:

1. 25 Bloodstone + 25 Dragonite
2. 25 Dragonite + 25 Empyreal
3. 150 Unbound Magic

The option for 25 Bloodstone + 25 Empyreal is missing, which I suspect is a bug or an oversight. Can a dev confirm that this is an unintended bug?

EDIT: Never mind. After logging in, I see that the fourth option now shows up correctly. It must have been stealth fixed in one of the subsequent patches.

It was working for everyone else I know. I wonder why it didn’t show for you.

oh thanks I was worried myself if I’ll retain functionalities if I combine the things to kick off the legendary trinkets line, seems like unneededly

how do you actually combine them? throw them into mystic forge or some other way?

Yes, you put all 4 Sentient items into the Forge. If you still want to keep copies of the old ones, you can talk to Grandmaster Hobbs in LA and buy additional copies afterwards for 1000 UBM each.

I envy the amount of inventory space that someone has to want both the Gleam and four eaters.

well if someone was generating enought ascended raw-mats to overload limits of gleam….

speaking of – does gleam have limits on amounts of consumed stuff? [akin to 4 “eaters” that are sacrificed to get it?]

I’m not sure that would work actually. Upon reflection, it occurs to me that Gleam’s first day use for me might not have showed the 25 Bloodstone+Empyreal because I’d already used the Sentient Singularity earlier that same day, thus removing it from the list of options.

Gleam is restricted to 6x per option, same as with each of the 4 separate munchers.

that makes sense

I’ve just obtained mine, and it only ever shows dragonite+bloodstone. Ive gobbled all 6 and the next day the same thing…

The Gleam of Sentience and the old eaters share cooldowns.

If you have used the old eaters before making the gleam, you won’t be able to exchange on that day via the gleam and the option will be invisible. Happened to me on the day I crafted it with all 3 eaters. Lucky enough I didn’t immedaitely rebuy them at Hobbs.

Vise versa I guess once you use the gleam to create packages, the old eaters won’t be available. Essentially making the recovery option on Hobbs not needed as far as more consumers is required (still good for recovery if something happened before making the gleam.
