Guild Wars 2

So I log on today, go to make the charged quartz for the day, and the place of power doesn’t present me with the option. First thing I think of: did they take celestial recipes out?
I check my bank collections: 25 Charged Quartz Crystals.
That seems like an awfully round number to happen to have removed a feature on.
So now I’m thinking there is a cap on how many charged quartz crystals you can own? is this the case?
did they really impose every possible time-gating option at their disposal to make celestial items as non-used as possible?
or was it just coincidence I’m at 25, and they disabled the ability to upgrade these from the place of power in the Durmand Priory mountain?

Did you have 25 Quartz on you?

I have 36 … 35 from charging.
25 would be a very weird limit, you can’t even make a full armor set with that!

I too have about 36. The limit is probably 250 like everything else. (Per stack)

You do know you can only make 1 crystal per day, right? It resets with the daily’s and if you have already made one that day, it does not indicate that (just says you can’t do anything with this place of power).

TBH, I find it very difficult (and tedious) to keep up with when I last created one and have started leaving a character with ample Quartz at a PoP node and rotating them when the Quartz runs out. This is a very clunky system just to time gate a resource.

hmmm, very strange then. I do know only one can be made per day. I have no plans to make a celestial set, but I’m making these in case one day I want to, so I won’t then have to wait 2 months to get it.
I hadn’t logged on in 2 days before yesterday, so I find it hard to believe I had already made a crystal that day. Nevertheless, it seems others have more than 25, so there isn’t a cap. I’ll try again tonight.
