Guild Wars 2

Used to buy rare salvage kit with it…

Already have the exotic set…

Not really interested about getting a legendary…

Any other way to spend that karma?

I’ve concluded karma is now the lottery currency. Get worthless items from the karma vendors and mystic forge (lol, I typed mystic forget just then, seems fitting) and hope.

Use it to buy kits and gathering tools. But yeah, that’s it.

A system like karma should make it easy for developers to add more use to it in content updates, so just save it up for later.

Turns out that after today’s patch you can no longer buy kits for karma.

Shame I didn’t stock up on it… I guess ArenaNet wanted more grind in their game, now you need to grind gold for kits aswell.

Sigh…

Edit: Come to think of it, where is the mining pick karma vendor in cursed shore? I know about the other two, but I never found the one that sells mining picks.

Oh… thanks… guess theres still a minor use for karma… mining picks…

Dunno but sitting on 72k on my main right now… lemme know when it’s useful again cause the Karma armor in Orr (from the shrines) blows.

Dunno why all scholars would choose to stack up in toughness and why 2 whole sets from the statues grant +0 to power. Way to let me be a glass cannon Anet – guess Dungeon armor is the only kind you want to be worth anything in this game…

There are many uses for karma

*Cooking materials
*Legendary crafting materials (Estimated you may need around 2.1 million Karma)
*Weapons
*Armor

Some of the armors are very nifty looking and good for transmuting. Players who are struggling in making gold to buy salvage kits and etc. There are some starter guides out there for making gold. They aren’t phenomenal but they will definitely make sure you don’t have to worry about buying salvage kits again.

I’m also in the same situation. I have my full exotic set, transmuted to look the way I like (norn tier 1 light cultural). I have my two Mystic weapons. I have 3 of my 5 jewel slots maxed out, and I’m just 2 Ectos away from completing the last two..

I do not like PvP, so I have no desire to get the 2500 or so kills in WvW necessary to get the 500 trophies needed for a legendary.

All I’ve done with karma is buy a pirate dagger for the skin to put on my Mystic Spike. Still have 89k and nothing to spend it on. Just hoping it has more of a use in an update.

If you craft then purchase all the imbued inscription/insignia etc. recipes from your craft master.

Well if Arenanet made karma account bound then you could use it to buy nice gear for your alts as they levelled up, the stuff you couldn’t afford the first time round. Afterall gold is account bound and so are pvp tokens. Why not karma? It makes no sense to have it character specific if dungeon tokens, wvwvw tokens and gold are account bound. Not only that but all the karma you earn on alts will be useful, no matter how low level, or deleted, or forgotten. It’s all adding up to this one big useful pile.

Cooking materials: Contextually useless. You only get 2 crafts remember, not everyone wants to change to cooking every now and then.
Legendary materials: Only useful for a select group who want Legendary Items. The requirements for getting a Legendary is monstrous, and not everyone wants to do it.

Weapons and Armor: Only useful once really. You won’t be going back to Queensdale to pick up a karma item from someone there will you? Even if you get the 42k karma ones, you’ll likely only get it once.

Arenanet removed the one TRUE good reason to have karma. Karma is an infinite resource, it only makes sense they let us spend it on a product with non-infinite usage.
