Guild Wars 2

Right now i need 8*250 of the T6 mats which is quite a lot. At the moment I can grind out wintersday presents for the bloods (figured i’d get the most expensive one out of the way first). But I have no reason to believe to I can make it in time, so ill be needing lots more T6 mats after wintersday.

What do you guys reckon would be the most productive route. Doing map rewards seemed not very lucrative considering the T6/hour ratio. Laurels are a good shot, but timelocked. So.. besides repeating Tarir ML which can get boring after a while, any other suggestions? (I wont sell my mystic coins for t6)

upgrade t5

Have you Forged all the Clovers you’ll need? Otherwise do that before finishing up the mats, as you’ll relatively often get t6s from that recipe.

If you have the T5 mats to sacrifice as well as T6 dust and 1 existing T6 same mat, you can use up spirit shards for philosopher stones to make the conversion at the forge. Be warned however that returns from T5 to T6 are far less than Tx to Tx+1 (1 to 2, … , 4 to 5) because of how powerful those mats are. Be prepared to spend quite a bit of coin for the dust, unless you have a massive amount of ecto you suddenly don’t want.

Pact Supply Network Agent. Buy the Pact Scouting materials from each of them every day then use them all on Frostgorge sound when the map rewards are vials of powerful blood for the week. It doesn’t matter if you’re already finished getting the vials of powerful blood you’ll need. That’s the most expensive mat and you can sell it to get the others. Also you get other expensive mats that get in the way of your powerful blood, but they aren’t bad.

Propably worth mentioning, I have everything ready except the *250 T6 mats, once I have those I can flush everything down the mystic toilets

Right now I have exactly 250 ectos, which I will need, and the T6 dusts are part of the 8*250 I need to collect so I don’t have a surplus of that yet

When I made legendaries, Id use up all my laurels first and then sell off everything in my material storage I didnt immediately require and buy as many t6 mats as i could. That was back before t6 were easier to farm and when t6 mats were 40-70s a piece.

I note that the two most recent mats seem to drop t6 mats abundantly. I seem to always get a small stack from dragon minions after a while of playing. Otherwise, map rewards are you your way to go.

From your current standpoint then I would burn excess laurels on T6 bags, and expend excess gold on T6 mats. If you have Supply Network unlocked (Pact 3), you can get mapping materials and using them on areas where the next event reward is a T6 mat. Careful, though, and check the rotation. Sometimes you only use one, and sometimes you can use it twice (as the event reward changes on use = you get +200 to map reward track as well). Only do this if you have excessive karma, as it’s almost 7k karma a pop and you can only get up to 6 of these per day, 1 from each of the six network agents.

If you choose to peruse the supply network, feed “PSNA” (Pact Supply Network Agent) as a search query in the GW2 Wiki and you’ll get a list of where they’re at for the day.

gw2timer.com is a nice website for easily getting all the waypoint links. It also shows you all the important things you can keep track of.
