Guild Wars 2

Hi,

The wiki states how many you get for each Tier, but says that verification is required on a lot of them.

How many fine crafting mats do you get for Tier 1 thru Tier 6?

Thanks.

T6 you get 3 material for sure, the rest I can’t imagine anyone buying except for research reason.

Thanks. Anyone else? I don’t want to have to blow 5 laurels researching this if someone already knows the answer.

Just buy kittens off the TP for almost nothing. No need to waste laurels for “research”

Well, I live by the rule of:

Making money relies on not spending money.

That is, never buy anything on the TP. May not be the most efficient way to play, but it’s the way I roll.

Some of those mats are less than 1silver. I can respect your decision, but if you can’t even blow 5 silver for a full stack of low level crafting mats then….

You know it goes the same way. Making laurels relies on not spending laurels

If you are never going to buy anything, why are you trying to make money?

I don’t know the exact figures either, but the lower level crafting bags DO give more of each. You will get more total T3 mats than the total T6 (3) mats from Heavy Crafting Bags, for example.

Economically it might even be worth it if the amounts are high enough (again, I don’t know exactly how many are given), but given the incredible prices for T6 mats, odds are that even if you need lower level mats, you’d be better off trading Laurels for Heavy Crafting Bags, selling the T6 mats, then buying the lower level mats.

Based on the wiki, with or without verification, 16 lower tier mats would still be no where near as much of a payout with just a handful of T6 mats.

Gems to improve my overall account.

Hey, that’s not a bad idea, if I give up my – no buying from the TP, and change it to, only buy from the TP after selling stuff of more value

BTW- Is there a Laurel vendor in Vigil’s Keep? The wiki is no use. It says there’s one in Lion’s Arch. I know where the one is in Divinity’s Reach, so I’m not stuck, but I’d prefer to use one in Vigil’s Keep if there is one.

TIA.

No, there is none in Vigil’s Keep, only in the other main cities and in WvW.

I suggest you ‘check yo roll’.

You can make money AND buy stuff off the TP if you are just careful about what you buy and how you buy it.

Laurels are a time gated currency that requires actual work to earn and we are just suggesting that you DON’T spend them unwisely. Buying any materials under the T6 box is shameful waste as they can be obtained in other ways much more reliably and with less rare coin.

So, I bought 1 of each. Here are the results:

Tiny – 19 Tier 1
Small – 18 Tier 2
Light – 12 Tier 3
Medium – 11 Tier 4
Large – 16 Tier 5
Heavy – 3 Tier 6

Don’t know if the numbers are fixed, or if it’s like xx-yy for some tiers. I might buy another set when I get more Laurels to see.

Thanks for the research, Lankybrit. That DOES seem odd… Maybe the lower level bags have random amounts from 10 – 20? If so, that only further convinces me it’s best to just buy the Heavy Bags and sell those, then buy lower level mats.

BTW: If anyone else has bought any of these and has their own results, please add them here. That way, maybe we can figure out a range, or whether there’s a range at all.

I just did more research over on the wiki and followed links that said ‘verification requested’ where some people had actually posted their drops.

It really seems like, for all the bags except the Heavy one, it’s 2-4 of each of five fine materials. That would explain the weird spread on tiers 1 – 5 that I got. It can be anywhere from 10-20 and doesn’t depend on the Tier.

I will get one more set, just to make sure they do all fall within 10-20.

Just to put a cap on this discussion.

I went and updated the wiki with this information:

10-20 (2-4 each of 5) fine materials

for each of Tier 1-5.
