Guild Wars 2

This is to do with items like the Mysterious Seed, Ley Line Infused Stone, Vial of Sacred Glacial Water and Pile of Phantasmal Residue which I deleted on every single one of my characters some time ago, before Pristine Fractal Relics were easier for me to get.

The TL;DR of this is I’d like to see a vendor with these items available for those of us who can’t just run an alt through the story to re-aquire them, to make Mawdrey and Mawdrey II.

And now the longer version…

When Mawdrey first appeared I was very excited to collect these items and run around cultivating the little guy. But then disaster – you needed Pristine Fractal Relics! Horror. Total deal breaker at the time. Time to ragequit this otherwise very enjoyable quest because somebody, somewhere, decided to strongarm players into Fractals… no thanks. I’ll just pass.

Some time later the dailies changed and it became possible, occasionally, to solo a single fractal for 1 Pristine Relic. Indeed I now have 9. Which means I can make Mawdrey… except I deleted all the 1-time rewards 8 times over, for each of my 8 characters. I’m probably not the only person to do this and not have any alts who can just go get the items.

So now I’m thinking well, why not have an NPC is the Priory, say, who can check if I’ve done a particular story step and offer a second chance. I mean seriously, I never thought I’d see those Prisine Fractal Relics, ever.

There is a rewards vendor for Mawdrey, he’s at the Oasis near the garden.

You can get every single item for Mawdrey back in some way or another, none can ever be lost permanently.

Some can be purchased from the Centaur Gardener in the Oasis in Dry Top for laurels.

Others can be gotten by running through the story steps that originally gave them and talking to some of the NPCs at the end of the story. That applies even if you’ve already completed the story steps before, you just have to talk to the NPCs rather than getting the item rewarded automatically in the mission rewards. For example, if you talk to Rox after Rytlock goes AWOL into the portal she’ll offer you the item normally gotten from that story step.
