Guild Wars 2

Why is it that this doesn’t give enough geodes in one completion to buy the recipe for the ambrite fossil you’ve purchased? It requires going to Dry top and farming for a bit or re-enabling the track to re-complete a few tiers again.

You’re already having a chunk of the work cut down for you by not having to buy lockpicks, open chests, and hope RNG smiles on you. Honestly, I think it’s pretty fair that you still have to go farm SOME of the geode you need to make the weapon.

Yeah it’s not really a problem, I’ve already made 6 of the weapons so far, and each time i went to Dry top to farm the remaining 100 or so i needed, just dawned on as being a bit odd is all.

Eh, I do PvP reward tracks for these sorts of things because I’d rather not farm at all. It would be nice for me if they changed it slightly to make it a complete alternative to farming. Or if geode flood is a concern, cut out the geode rewards and include a recipe with the final chest.

Yeh i’d like it if it gave the required amount too. Atm I’ve got 5 fossils in the bank but only 500 geodes.

Increase how long it takes to get the reward track if it isn’t fair that you can avoid RNG, but have the right number of geodes at least.

I think it gives enough if you are fortunate to get into a t6 dry top.

Which kind of makes geodes academic as these rack up so quickly in a t6.
The problem is there are hardly ever any t6 on off-hours (eg EU prime on NA Servers, oceanic on EU or NA Servers, NA Prime on EU Servers).
So it makes it an even longer track for those who will not see a t6 dtop (or t5) due to when they can get on.

If dtop was as profitable kitten – there would be one t5-6 map rocking along all the time.

Of course using those zeph keys it gives you at -15 to the hour will land you in a sandstorm : hope RNG luck smiles on you whilst you open those hidden chests to complete the number of geodes you need.

Sometimes a change of pace is nice – at least it gets your toon out exploring the world in a much larger zone than a small pvp map.

The reward track is already overly generous. I see no need for a change.
