Guild Wars 2

Folks, I was wondering if you all could help me for a moment when it comes to karma armor we can purchase from the Temples. I was reading over dulfy.net about what is available and I thought we could purchase sets with +power, vitality, crit% but I didn’t see anything like this listed. I’m about to hit level 70 and I currently have over 150K karma that I had hoped to use to get my initial level 80 exotic gear. Is there someplace in the game where I can find the gear I need with these stats that uses karma? If not, what would you all suggest?

For reference, I play a D/D + SB Teef ankittenrying to focus on my survivability while still putting out decent crit damage.

As always, I appreciate all the help you all can provide.

I guess you mean armor with extra power, extra vitality and extra precission (this one increases the change on hitting a crit).

This indeed doesnt exist in the temple armor set. This combination of stats doesnt exist in the game. What you could do is go for a very simular set: knights armor (Extra thoughness, power and precission).

This also isnt available for karma, but can be crafted by a level 400 leatherworker.

If sticking to templearmor then you are rather limited in stat combo’s. Only soldiers, Rabid and Magi are possible. See this table to see wich piece gives what stats: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Equipment_acquisition_by_stats#Karma

I was actually taking this from a guide I found at the link below:

http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/thief/?7.0|8.1g.h14.8.1g.h2|5.1g.h4|1p.71j.1p.71j.1p.71j.1p.71j.1p.71j.1p.71j|3s.d17.2s.d14.2t.d14.2s.d14.1g.67.2s.d14|0.u36c.u56b.a1.0|40.2|57.5a.5b.5c.0|e

Valkyrie armour is only available through crafting, using tier 6 vicious fangs or (for trinkets and upgrade slots) beryl orbs as materials for the exotic versions.

Bummer. I figured that huge amount of karma would come in handy but so far, I don’t see much of a use for it.

Yeah, Karma isn’t great for buying gear. If you like the skins you can purchase from the God sets, go for it. But I spend my karma on orrian jewel boxes in Orr.

-junk to sell that can total up to 2-3 gold if enough junk comes out
-rare balthazar minipet
-chance at obsidian shards
-chance at lodestones
-more liquid karma to consume and to buy more boxes.

I actually find this karma sink gratifying, but there should be more uses for it…

I actually used karma to buy a full set of temple armor, but not so much for the stats as for the runes. 6 Superior Runes of Melandru for nothing but karma and 6 Transmutation Crystals beats having to pay tradepost prices (which are about 2g apiece).

Note that I did also craft my armor set for the stats, and transmuted both the looks of the temple armor and the runes on top of it.

If you were being smart and saving gold while leveling, you should have more than enough to buy exotic Valkyrie armour off the TP when you hit 80.

Also, consider a mix (3 pieces of each) of Valkyrie and Knight armour. I have a set of this for both my ranger and guardian.

As for the karma, at some point you might want/need a set of Soldiers stat (p/v/t) armour. You will need over 200k karma to get this, so do not waste karma until you are sure. Karma can be used to get exotic backpieces, rings, and accessories from the temple merchants as well.

That’s a good point about the backpieces, rings and accessories. As for gold, I’m running with about 26 on the character from some lucky items I’ve found/sold. Sadly, I’ve dumped a good bit into my crafting skills as I’m a bit OCD in that area.
