Guild Wars 2

Hi chaps,

I’m currently collecting t6 materials for my legendary. I’ve found some good ways to do so but I also have stacks of t5 materials. I was wondering given the yield on t5 -> t6 transmutation (which I’ve never done before) and the cost of 5 crystal dust per pop (which is 5 x t6 mat in itself), is it better to just sell the t5 mats outright and buy the t6 mats with gold?

Look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Promotion of tier 5 yields an average return of 6.91 items.

At that point you just have to do the math. I’m pretty sure most of the time it is NOT worth it.

It’s only worth it at very specific times, because the price changes on crafting mats fast, thus you have to always be watching the market if you want to be able to profit from mat promoting.

Generally it isn’t worth it in the long run. I noticed it is best to sell them and farm.
