Guild Wars 2

I’m cleaning out my Account Vault and am wondering what to do with some of the stuff I’ve thrown in there over the years:
-Essence of Luck: Any reason not to just consume these immediately upon acquire? They are Artificer components, but can only be converted to rarer Essences (for the same amount of Luck).
-Flask/Jug/etc of Karma: Same thing: any reason not to just chug these all down now?
-Old event items: Tricolor Keys, Aetherkeys, Continue Coins, Blade Shards. Should I just destroy these?
-Piles of Bloodstone Dust: Apparently, I filled up my collectibles and now have another 2 full stacks in my bank. It’s pink and Account Bound, but will I ever need that much?
-Empyreal Fragments: Same as dust above.
-Agony Infusions. Will I need these for later content? Where is Agony encountered?
-Dwarven Keys: I think these are only needed for one specific event. Probably not worth the bank slot, right?

Thanks for any help on the value of this stuff. I’m a hoarder so I don’t want to dump anything, but also need more space in my vault.

Luck and Karma – no reasons, gobble them up.

Continue Coins and Blade Shards, keep. Aetherkeys are still used? The Tricolor key is most likely a goner.

Dust … you most likely won’t need that much, when in doubt just make a few extra bricks.

Empyreal Fragments … I would keep those, but really depends on you, again you could just make the next version unless you really not plan on crafting ascended in the future.

Don’t do many fractals so I don’t know about agony stuff.

Edit: Sry dwarven key, use for a chest or destroy.

IMO

-Essence of Luck & Karma, Unless you are planning on crafting with those any time soon, just use them all. Its not that difficult to accumulate more.
-Old Event Items, See what you can get from the Zepherites before they leave.
-Piles of Bloodstone/Empyreal Fragments. Personally I hold on to these for when I do decide to use them.
-Agony Infusions, Ehh…. depends on what you do throughout the game, but if you dont do a lot of fractals, I would dump em. (Unless you want to hold out to see if agony is used in new map)
-Dwarven Keys, If it is a heart event Item you can either find what event they go to or just trash em.

1 and 2: Use them all, there’s no point in keeping them.
3: Continue Coins will come in handy for when SAB returns (unless you already have the Infinite CC). Blade Shards can be traded in for some greens at Labyrinthe Cliffs, or used for Spinal Blade backpieces if you have a massive pile of them. I urge you to keep the shards. As for the keys, use them or trash them. I believe the Tri-color Chest is still in Kessex Hills but I could be wrong.
4 and 5: Personally I delete them, but if you can see yourself crafting multiple ascended weapons in a short period of time I suggest holding on to them. That way you’ll only have to deal with Dragonite supply.
6: If you’ve got this piling up you already know what it’s for, don’t you? 2 infusions of the same tier can be crafted into 1 of the next tier, 1 + 1 = 2, 2 + 2 = 3 and so on. The cost of each tier increases exponentially though.
7: These are really only useful in Dredgehaunt Cliffs where you can unlock some dwarven tombs to trigger some events, but that’s about it. I’d trash them in a heartbeat.

Agree with most everything already said. As far as Agony infusions go, yes craft them. Although you need AR on fractals past level 10, the higher tier infusions actualy can sell for quite a bit. But the cost of the thermocatalytic reagents can be expensive.

Perfect Square.2534:

1. Essence of Luck: Any reason not to just consume these immediately upon acquire? They are Artificer components, but can only be converted to rarer Essences (for the same amount of Luck).
2. Flask/Jug/etc of Karma: Same thing: any reason not to just chug these all down now?
3. Old event items: Tricolor Keys, Aetherkeys, Continue Coins, Blade Shards. Should I just destroy these?
4a. Piles of Bloodstone Dust: Apparently, I filled up my collectibles and now have another 2 full stacks in my bank. It’s pink and Account Bound, but will I ever need that much?
4b. Empyreal Fragments: Same as dust above.
5. Agony Infusions. Will I need these for later content? Where is Agony encountered?
6. Dwarven Keys: I think these are only needed for one specific event. Probably not worth the bank slot, right?

IMO:
1. Use them, it will permanently increase your Magic Find and have no other uses (except maybe monthly refinement/crafter)
2. Use them, i\t’s accountbound, no longer is affected by boosters (anyone able to confirm?) and takes no space in a Wallet.
3. Aetherkeys are useable in TA Aetherblade paths after you’ve finished, so either use them or destroy them (1 key is about 1 silver to make anyway) Blade Shards, use them for the backpiece if you like them, otherwise destroy them. The rest might return so if you can spare the space, go for it, if not, don’t bother.
4. Ascended Materials, 500/each per weapon, 200/per armor except chest, 500 for the chest. Decide which Ascended Weapons/Armorpieces you’d like to make, refine those, throw away left-overs. If you’re drowning in both it likely means you can easily acquire them if you need any more.
5. Agony Infusions are only for Fractals so Agony deal only 1% per tick, depending on Fractal level you need more and more Agony Resistance (starting with 0 up to ~70’ish) If you’re interested in the content, hold on to them, if not, delete them. (They are rather easy to get by aswell, 75 Fractal Relics for a Versitile +5 and each chest drops 1-3 +1 infusions for infused slots which can be refined for +2 +3 +4 etc etc.)
6. Haven’t heard of them.

Add some information

Luck : Until you reach 300 base MF you should use them. But I still prefer to accumulate them a bit and when I got 2-3 stack of 250, then craft them into exotic 200Luck and use them then. Otherwise the number of click become insane.

Karma : Use them. It used to be good to accumulated them and use them with some karma booster, but that don’t work anymore.

Blades : Keep them if you want to make back items. If not, destroy them.

Bloodlust and Empyreal : It depend on how much do you wan to use. It take 500 of each per ascended weapons and 1500 per armor set. Personally, i figure out how many I think i’ll use them ever and only kept that amount. The rest get destroy.

Agony Infusion : I accumulate them until I have 512 of them so I can craft a +10 Infusion (because at that, it take just insane amount of infusion). If you didn’t have infused trinkets before the change, then just craft the +5 you need with only 16 +1 infusions and when you have all the +5 you need, then go for a +10 on the long run. Or destroy them if you don’t care.

1. You can use Essences of Luck for the monthly master crafting achievement and to start up an Artificer, but that’s about it.
2. Consumables aren’t affected by boosters anymore, so no need to keep them, especially now that Karma is account bound.
3. Some of them still have limited use, so you should check those out before ditching them.
4. That depends entirely on your personal plans for Ascended. Do note that the conversion rate is 100 Dusts for Brick and you will need at least 5 Bricks per Vision Crystal and 1 Vision Crystal per Ascended item. So that’s 500 Dusts per Ascended item.
5. As above.
6. Agony is only used in Fractals of the Mists.
7. Depends on whether you do that event.

Everyone is giving good advice except for telling you to toss the Agony +1s. Sell them on the TP if you don’t need them they go for 10s a piece.

Why sell them at 10s a piece when you can combine them, and selling them for MUCH higher? Currently a +8 agony infusion is selling for 16g, where as selling 128 +1s would only net you 12g 80s. Granted it does cost 1g 89s 99c to make a +8, but still having at least a 2 gold profit is far better than just selling them.

Edit: It all depends on how much the OP has laying around. If he has enough to upgrade them then sell, that would be the way to go.

I farm a lot in Dredgehaunt Cliffs, so all my character have some keys in their inventory, however it makes no sense to have them in you bank, especially since they are soulbound and you can’t use them on other characters.
