Guild Wars 2

Yup – because it kinda sucks to play the game for weeks in pvp and not be able to buy any different dyes.

nice idea

+1

you can make them in pvp

with slivers,
they should use orbs tbh

you can found in the chest, but glory is a bit useless atm, so would be nice use it for buy dyes

gold chests give you so many dyes! 50/50 it seems and you can get more than 1,
i got a Black the other day

I could not agree more OP.

this is a great i dea anet. we will have something else to spend glory on. stop making everything cost gems. give glory some better uses

You can craft dyes in the PvP mystic forge. I craft about 10 dyes whenever I log on by using all the glory I earned during the last play session. I can craft lots of dyes by converting orbs to crystals and crystals to slivers.

From another topic…

Assuming you can farm an average 300 glory per match (you’ll have to struggle), within a 10 min per match. Let’s say you’ll receive 25 powders and orbs after salvaging 45 items. And to finish it, assume that we gain 5 items per copper box, everytime.
Now, starting our calculations:
- First we need to converte our Orbs into Crystals.
- Items needed: 25 orbs, 25 powders, 1 arcane converter, 1 crystal (you have one) and 3 salvage kits
- Total glory spent: 9×200 + 1000 + 300 = 3100 glory
- Time to accomplish: +/-100 mins
- Item obtained: 11 crystals
Now, you’ll have to do it 3 times, since we need 25 crystals to convert into 11 slivers.
- Total glory spent: 9300
- Time to accomplish: 300 mins
Converting crystals into slivers… (you have 33 atm)
- Items needed: 25 powder, 25 crystal, 1 arcane converter, 1 sliver (you have one) and 3 salvage kits
(assume 25 powder – 30 items)
- Total glory spent: 2×100 + 1000 = 2200 glory
- Time to accomplish: +/- 70 mins
- Items obtained: 11 sliver
Now, now, we just need 11 orbs/consumable tokens and 110 powder
(assume 75 items salvaged)
- Total glory spent: 11×200 + 5×100 + 15×200 = 5700 glory
- Time to accomplish: 190 mins
- Items obtained: 11 unidentified dye
Total glory : 17200 points
Total time : 9h and 20 mins
Result: 11 dyes
Now, in PvE, lets say you farm in a not so good spot (1g/h). After 9h and 20 mins, you’ll have 9g 30s. Unidentified dye in the TP – 15s 50c. Total dye bought: 60!!
And that’s for a 1g/h place (imagine those who can farm 4g/h…)

Imo, change the recipe into crystals (like, 3 crystals per dye?).

You must have some pretty epic play sessions if you get enough mats for 10 dyes at a go.

In PvE there’s plenty of other things to spend that gold on, in sPvP there’s nothing to use glory for, except crafting dye. Yes obtaining dye through PvP is expensive and time consuming, but it’s beside the point (and it doesn’t take 9 hours to get 11 dyes).

Indeed. I too would like to farm hotjoins to make gold so I can watch movies on my monitor while I do it instead of paying attention.

I’m sorry, but this is not a pvp game.
