Guild Wars 2

Heya, I feel that my gold infusion is not that viable anymore, so I want to replace it.
MF infusion is out of the question, because I already have a decent MF%.

So my mind is twisted between Karma or XP. What will be more viable in the future?

Karma:
-Harder to get than XP.
-The 15% boost is really good tho.
-Lack of viable things to spend Karma on.
-Note: atm i have around 2million karma.

XP:
-Easier to get than Karma.
-The 20% XPboost only covers “killing stuff” and the “main source” of XP is from doing events and dungeons?
-XP=Skill Points=Mystic Forge= future legendary armor?

So it feels like i can do more with XP than Karma, but i gain more value from the Karma infusion rather than the XP infusion —-> 15%karma is valued more than 20%XP from monsters.

So what are your thoughts on this? From a futuristic point of view.

Just a return question. How many skillpoints do you have (across your level 80 characters that have unlocked all skills)??
If that number is above 500, don’t worry bout XP

I got 750 skillpoints, I got one legendary weapon ready (except the precursor). And am working activly on the second. I made several mystic forge weapons requiring skillpoints (Eldritch Scrolls). considering the cost and the amount of skillpoints needed I never doubted my skillpoints to be my currency drain.

Gaining skillpoints is extremely easy considered to gaining karma or gold.

Your amount of Karma is very high as well.

afaik, there is some rumor for legendary equipment. The source used on the wiki is an old interview with an arenanet official. the article contains many other prmisses they didn’t keep. bout this subject he is saying: ‘One new type of Legendary gear will definitely be putting in an appearance this year and will likely be a trinket such as a ring or amulet.’
So they didn’t keep the promise for a legendary trinket in 2013. any other gear never got announced. So basicly, future legendary gear is nothing but a rumour.

Also keep in mind that they said that they didnt want to keep adding gear level on gear level. They dont want to follow other games that do that. So the level off ascended is going to be the max. Legendary gear could be an exception cause it is not a different level, but more convinient. but it is all rumour so far.

Having said all this (with a reason).
You amount of karma is extremely high
If your amount of skillpoints is above 500, that is very high as well.
One can never have enough gold
the future is unpredictable.

So stick to your gold infusion till more info is known. you can speculate a lot bout future upgrades, but the one thing that is always needed is gold. So stick to that till other resources are needed.

Personally I’d go with the karmic infusion. The XP infusion is pointless in a world where Scrolls of Knowledge exist in abundance, and the gold/MF infusions are only really useful if you kill lots and lots of enemies (so it may be worthwhile if you do a lot of farming in the open world. If your sources of income are more about speed running dungeons, for example, it won’t be that useful).

Both seem like a waste…but if i had to pick it would be karma.
