Guild Wars 2

I am new to GW2. Just wondering if the Achievement coins I keep getting for finishing my dailies or other things are ever used in the game (To purchase items, titles or anything else) or are they just there for show? So far I have tried searching the wiki and while it mentions them, it doesn’t say what they are for, if anything.

As stated on Guild Wars 2 official wiki:

Achievements are part of an account-wide title system that gauges what a player has accomplished in the game; while they can provide coin and experience, they do not provide any direct in-game advantage or alter gameplay.they do not provide any direct in-game advantage or alter gameplay.

I believe you may be talking about Mystic Coins you get for completing Dailies and Monthlies. Mystic coins are used in Lion’s Arch at the Mystic Forge to create high level weapons.

Yep I got that the Achievements themselves were part of the title system. And finishing the Achievements themselves (Completing your daily, ect) can give you additional coin/items/XP. But I didn’t think that the Coins themselves were apart of that, as the coins don’t seem to have any purpose in relation to if a particular achievement gives you a title or a reward for completing.

Nope just talking about the coin count you see when logging in. Or when you look at your guild list, you don’t see your Guildies Lvl or anything important, you see how many of these Achievement coins they have.

They are gold colored and have kind of the Arena Net symbol on them. For instance, when you kill 10 mobs of a particular type, you get 1 of these coins from your Slayer Achievements

If you mean the “Anet Points” that you get for each achievement you get, then no those are nothing more then a number that you can compare against other players to show that you’ve completed a lot of stuff.

If you mean the “Mystic Coins” that you get for completing the daily and monthly achievement, then yes those are vitally important for making level 80 exotic weapons and armor.

Those are the Mystic Coins, unless they named them something different after launch. Use them at the Mystic Forge. They are also account wide so you can save them from all characters in the shared bank.

Ok, yeah they must be the Anet Points I am talking about. I have gotten the Mystic Coins as well, and know what those are for . Darn I was hoping I was saving up for something like a Mini pet, or a cool title.
