Guild Wars 2

Casual player here. I like playing all modes of the game, and have managed to save up a decent amount of glory, but not a huge amount of glory. I have about 61,000 glory points at the moment which leaves me with the big question. How do I best use these?

From the post about combining the PvP skin locker with the new wardrobe system. I’ve given up trying to fill/forge for things like Arah armour, which I can easily buy with the tokens I have. Aside from Tribal and Commando, were there any other PvP specific skins that I should work to pick up? Though even those looks weren’t particularly inviting to me.

Off the top of my head I can think of the following options, and would love to hear people’s advice on them.

1) Use 60k glory points + 60g to buy T3 cultural. Basically treating 60k glory like 50+ gold.

2) Mystery coffers. Though from the people I know who have used them, they report about 1 good skin out of 50 coffers. As I said above, a lot of the skins just come from crafted/found gear out in the normal PvE world. Seems like a waste to use glory on them.

3) Mix/mats for unidentified dyes. Filling out colours I’m missing, and selling/putting duplicates on alts. Basically not really helping out my wardrobe for skins I might want. Though the common skins I don’t really have such a desire for, and ‘nice’ skins like infinite light require a high rank (which I don’t quite have. I’m a Wolf) or luck with mystery coffers.

4) Tomes of Knowledge? seems a bit like a waste, I farmed up about 50 during the LA events. We’ll be getting them just playing the game and I’m not exactly rushed to level all my mules.

5) Any other suggestions? Once the glory’s gone.. it’s gone..

Thanks in advance!

You could gamble for Infinite Light, it´s ca 700 gold worth in PvE and I think it´s called Runic Blade or something in PvP. To craft it you need (no guarantee though):
– Phoenix token
– Sword token
– Arcane Crystal
– Arcane Dust
You can get the Phoenix token with luck from salvaging T2 cultural armor. It´s risky, if you´re unlucky you wasted your glory, but with luck you can save yourself a lot of gold. If you want to play safe though craft Arah or buy cultural.

Thanks! I’m really thinking about this :x

That’s what I’m working towards, too.
Any tips available or info how the chances are to get phoenix tokens through salvaging and the “crit” rates on the forge for runic blade?

It is risky, good chance you’ll end up with only more powder from salvaging the T2s. You might wanna do the math and see how much you can probably get by buying Consumable Tokens and making dyes to sell them all.
