Guild Wars 2

Without going there? The bank, the collectibles? I don’t want to put anything in. I don’t need to talk anything out. I just want to look.

Maybe one of those new interfaces they are working on? Like they did for the timers?

Currently no without being at a bank or crafting area.

You can view your bank at a crafting table but other then that, you have to physically be there. (There is also the portable/consumable bank access items)

I think it wouldn’t be a bad idea to have, really for keeping track of how many mats you have incase your farming for 1 item & only need a certain amount so you don’t waste too much of your time. Defiantly a convenience option.

Ok, thank you folks.

Yeah, Hebee, that’s exactly why I was curious. I might be out somewhere, decide I’m going to make myself a pair of Exotic pants with magic find. Then I ask myself, “Self, how many claws do you need/have to make that?”, while I’m out standing around among things that would drop said claws.

I suppose I could pop into WvW to check the bank, but how many friends would that make me if they found out that was the only reason I was there?

If you have active crafting disciplines, you can check what materials you currently have by looking in your crafting tab in the Hero panel. It’s rather inefficient and dependent on what recipes/level/profession you’re set on atm, but it does count what’s in the bank towards the totals.

They have PvEers in WvW all the time doing area completion, the jumping puzzle and using the bank. Unless you announce it over chat, no one will ever know.

If you don’t mind switching you could always park another character at the bank and use them to check.

If you’ve used all your character slots already just make sure one is always near a bank or crafting station. If not make an alt, do the intro and then run up to the bank.

Get some of these …

You can open your Hero Pane, select the crafting tab and look at the recipe. It shows how many claws you need and shows how many you have total (including what’s in your bank).

The hero panel idea isn’t horrible, thanks Ex and Kari. Though it would only be useful if I knew where they were used, as you can’t search on them specifically.

The alt-bank idea isn’t horrible either, but I’d have to write some things down or start keeping a spreadsheet and try to remember to keep it up to date, or something.

Thanks again.

There is a search bar at the top of the crafting window that you can input ingredients to find what recipes (that you have discovered or have available) they are used in.

No way, I could have sworn I tried that! I just tried that again, and it works perfectly.

So that would help with looking up at least some T6 materials and things like Ectos at least.

Thanks again!

Interesting. I’ve never looked at my crafting tab away from a bank or crafting site. I’ll have to give that a try and see what it looks like.
