Guild Wars 2

Hey GW2’rs

So after playing this game since launch with, a couple of breaks, I finally got my first precursor. I’m working towards Bolt and I’m to the point where I really only need the t6 mats and Lodestones. What is the best way to acquire these?

Any input is appreciated.

You answered your own question.

Any input is appreciated.

Maybe quit?

Dungeons for Lodestones, Silverwastes for Obsidian Shards and some of the other T6 mats.

However seems pointless if you don’t actually like the game, might as well invest time in something else.

I didn’t expect you guys to take that ‘dumb game’ comment seriously. To clarify, GW2 is a great game and I spend a lot of time here. I have left a lot of friends that I’ve been gaming with since 99’ to play this particular game.

If all you need is lodestones and T6 crafting materials, my strong recommendation is to keep doing what you are doing. The main thing is to spend less money on frills (dyes, skins, etc) and instead set that gold aside for the mats.

Sure, you can farm stuff, but that leads a lot of people to burn out on the game. If you really want to go that route, Silverwastes, Orr, Frostgorge Sound (including the Coil chain), chasing world bosses, and doing a rotation of 3-12 dungeon paths are all good sources. Southsun group karka farms or solo skelk/shark farms are also pretty good. And consider Tequatl for the karma you probably still need.

Gz on your acquisition and enjoy the journey to your legendary.

I’m at pretty much the same point, all I need is T6 mats.

Firstly use any laurels you’ve got (and any you get) to buy Heavy Crafting Bags, each 1 gives you 3 T6 mats.

Secondly do whatever activity you enjoy most to make gold, and use it to buy T6. I’m currently doing Silverwastes a lot for this reason (and because I want carapace and luminescent armors).

I made a big mistake with my Laurels. Cashed them out on the Obsidian Shards when I had more then enough karma to cover them five times over, misread the requirements :/ I’ve historically been bad at making cash even without buying extra stuff. I have a feeling that I’ll be buying gems before I’m done.

I also still need map completion… That will come shortly.

Thanks for the input!

If you still have all that karma, buy a bunch of Orrian Jewelry Boxes….

Get linen karma items, toss into forge, salvage the result, sell scraps on TP. Linen goes for a lot, you should make lots of gold with 3 mil karma. Wool also goes for a decent amount afaik.

OJ Boxes are a really fast way of unloading karma, but they aren’t very efficient compared to other methods. And imo, 3 million isn’t all that much considering how much gets used for a legendary. I expect (hope?) that HoT will introduce new things that cost karma, so I’m holding on to it. I don’t feel a need to reduce the amount of karma I hoard anytime soon.
