Guild Wars 2

If there is already a thread covering this, then I ask a moderator to please go ahead and merge the two. I didn’t see anything covering the following topic in the first ten pages or so, including a search.

Currently there is unbound magic based jewelry that can be obtained through Blood rubies, Jade shards, Petrified wood, Winterberries and Fire orchids. The only problem however is that only the blood ruby based jewelry can be reset through the use of a ‘Bloodstone Capacitor’ consumable that costs 100 unbound magic. I am asking for either of the following to address this:

*Add [Jade Shard, Winterberry, etc] capacitors to the other vendors so that we can reset our ascended jewelry stat combo with the same unbound magic cost in mind.

OR

*This being the more preferred method: Create a generic unbound magic capacitor that will work on any of the new ascended jewelry introduced in LW season 3 and can be bought from any of the vendors that also sell the ascended items (Slooshoo, Scholar Rakka, etc).

Thanks for reading.

This has already been requested several times, and I remember someone insisting that the devs mentioned something about this going to be added at some point.

I hope we will see it too. In getting the trinkets for my characters I realized that I selected the wrong stats on an item a few times. Usually I can correct this by trading when I am buying things for another character but I am still going to end up with a few random stat sets when all is said and done.

Then there is the issue of wanting to respec a character in the future. What if next year I do not want all my condi characters to use viper?

I’m not holding my breath. They probably abandoned the idea of stat swapping for a reason. My guess would be that its because they wanted to keep the Bloodstone Ruby gear relevant while at the same time making new trinkets that are much quicker / easier to get in future maps. Giving them a unique functionality of being able to swap makes the fact that they’re slower to get more reasonable.

If anything, maybe in the future there will at least be a second set of re-statable trinkets with a more limited currency gain so that people can fill out a full set of swappable trinkets at the cost of taking longer to acquire them OR people can get the ones that can’t be swapped at a quicker pace.

Actually, I have been tracking costs and how fast you gather the relevant items. Even though winterberries seem to be an anomaly when you break it down to UM costs it is about the same progress to the item per day. Assuming 1 character per day on average you will get 20-30 of the zone item if you stay in the zone longer than a fast run and do all of the dailies there (50-75 for winterberries). Given the drop rate your average in BF will be lower but not impossible for it to be the same as the other zones. Even just doing the home node will give you 100 of an item in 33 days (so I do not stress as much about getting to LS3 zones now, UM is my limiting condition at the moment).

Which is a long winded way of saying a ring, pendant, or backpack from BF is roughly the same time investment as other LS3 zones. If just relying on the home nodes for all of them even closer.

Fortunately ascended trinkets are account bound rather than soul bound. If you get a range of the better stat sets you can always swap things later. I would still recommend doing a best guess of what stats you need though as swapping everything around can be a nuisance.
