Guild Wars 2

So, I decided F it ill go for a legendary. Naturally I look up youtube videos that explain best ways to get karma…most of these vids are in CS great. There’s an event called Plinx. Awesome. Welll….been trying to do this and have barely seen more than 4 people at a time. Seriously. Even the tunnel is empty. Anyone got any tips for the solo karma farmer, because 90% of the time I am alone and its pretty rough and slow going.

did you try WvW? with a commander thats flippin nonstop you get huge amount of rewards, especially karma.

The solo open world game is lacking at the moment because of the new dungeon and all the wintersday stuff. Other than getting your dailies done, another surefire way to get a decent karma amount is to run fast dungeon. (AC or CoF).

Save up the karma jugs from doing monthly and daily achievements. Use them all at once with karma boosts.

There is no one at Plinxx because Plinxx got nerfed by Arenanet. You’re using outdated informaiton now.

I don’t know the current best way to get Karma but Ayrilana’s method is what I’m doing.

I’ve got 2 karma boosts, can someone tell me do these stack? If I use both before opening all my jugs and gulps will I get 225% karma boost?

Thanks.

Daily’s and montly karma jug’s, save those up, I almost have 100 of jugs and a few flask’s gulps, with Karma booster 50%, Karma Banner +5 and 1 extra buff you can look for…Outmanned buff in WvW (33% Karma) = + 78%. For a jug that;’s almost 9k per jug.

As for open world, the best route is still Shelter, Penitent R&D, with plinx every hour.
Unfortunately, at this current time, due to wintersday events, you will not find as many people there, after all this is done, you’re gonna be good to go here again.

Karma is not your main concern for the legendary though, Ive been working on it for almost 3 months now, the prices keep going up, Charged Lodestones are rediculous now (if your legendary requires these), precursor weapons are now between 300 – 600g,

Ectoplasm is going too take you a while as well.

GL!

Doing the wintersday jumping puzzle daily can get you a flask/gulp of karma daily per character. It gives like 3k karma each I think?

As the others have stated, you can also do your dailies, your monthly, and dungeons for karma. For dungeons, it drops as a consumable and you earn near 2k karma for initial path completion for the day. Make sure to get as many karma bonuses as you can when you consume the karma consumables.

Again though guys, can you consume 2x karma boost for 1.5×1.5 effect? Don’t want to waste a boost if it doesn’t!

I just checked the wiki, and karma boosts will stack if they are different types of boosts.

Here’s the page for reference of the different karma boost types: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Karma

Outmanned does not affect liquid karma. The only ones that do are karma booster, karma banner, guild karma buff, and ice cream karma buff

You can only have 1 of each type of boost I mentioned above.

so currently, as Walrus, stated, to maximize consumable karma (jugs, flasks, gulps and drops) should be the following:

karma booster (50%) + guild banner (5%) + guild karma buff (15%) + karma food – all ice creams introduced this wintersday (5%) for a total of = 75%

so each jug would be 4,500 * (1 + 0.75) = 7,875 max

currently, i’m saving up jugs from dailies and monthly, as well as run the wintersday JP whenever i can. usually get a flask (4k karma) or gulp (3.5k). and then usually pop a karma booster when i see a good chain going in WvW. even without the karma booster, you’ll see a decent karma gain following a good commander, good group and flipping camps.

as someone mentioned, you can also run quick dungeon runs for maximizing karma as well. iirc, karma boosters should work on dungeon runs aswell, though i haven’t tested. if you’re familiar and have a decent group, you should be able to finish AC all paths within one hour – 1880 * 3 and that’s without boosters = 5,640 karma as well as all the other loot and tokens, which can help towards your legendary progress as well

Don’t worry about getting karma, worry about getting gold first. Just do the daily and monthly for jugs. And dungeon runs are nice for karma too but not really needed. you’ll have 1 mil karma in no time. Also, don’t forget to use a karma booster when consuming all your lovely jugs.
