what to do with laurels?
If you’re thinking of having a legendary one day maybe use them to get Obsidian Shards. You need 250 and they’re required for all the legendaries so whichever one you go for it’s worth getting.

nnnnnnoooooooooooooooooooooooo buy heavy crafting bags, you get 3 certain tier 6 mats from them
1 laurel for 1 bag god you nearly wasted them xD

on average you get about 40s per laurel this way

Well, seems you have convinced yourself not to use them for any of the things you can currently buy with them.
My suggestion is to ignore that you have them. I have over 100 laurels, never spent one yet. I forget I have them until I see a daily with the ‘go visit the laurel chappie’ ..
ignore them? are you insane?? the only thing i get is those bags, you can get ascended gear elsewhere, this way you definitely get 16g on average for doing your dailies in a month

Personally I’m saving for both the minis and after that I’ll probably get the Ascended items.
But for now I’m pretty much just ignoring the fact that I have them because it’s going to be a while before I can afford anything I want.

no no no, the mini chauncy could get you 50g instead, and the obsidian shards can be bought one for a bauble bubble at the moment from SAB got all mine that way

you’d be literally throwing away gold if you do this, dont do it yet though as tier 6 mats are at there low point of its margin at the moment, give it a week

Crafting bags??
Crikey, I get 100’s of of moldy bags in Cursed Shore.
Why would I even consider spending laurels on yet more bags of mats??
lmao im glad you asked, these bags give you a definite chance of getting 3 expensive tier 6 mats, thats every single time you ope one of the juicy critters

Now imao ..
I get a lot of t6 from those 100’s of moldy bags …
So, I ask again ..
Why would I (or anyone who has access to Orr) even consider spending laurels on yet more bags of mats??
What’s BiS? Have no idea.

Buy ascended amulets with laurels. It’s the only way to get them, and they’re worth it.
okay bri, you stick to that method, orr is probably the worst way to farm gold, old the fools that sit there in that quest chain makes me giggle, like i said those moldy bags are terrible, they hardly ever give t6 mats

yeah rising duck forgot to mention that, ofc you get the amulet first but after that spend laurels for 3 t6 mats per laurel, if you get 3 powerful blood thats 95s right there for 1 laurel

From a purely money standpoint, that’s a long stretch. The odds of getting three bloods is .2, if I’m not mistaken. I would imagine the odds of getting an exotic from the equipment box are significantly better than that.
But either way, even if I did get the T6 material bags I’d save them for the Gifts necessary for a Legendary weapon. Like I said, I have everything I need. Everything get at this point is just a miniscule stop towards a Legendary (I play casually, so grinding dungeons and/or Pent/Shelt aren’t my thing).

I suppose I could get each of my characters the laurel gatherings tools, but that would cost a total of 30 laurels just for convenience items. Not a bad option, but not a great one either.
