Guild Wars 2

I have too many glory boosters. Can’t even use them all. Tournament chests give them often. Then from dailies. There should be another way to use them.

Also there is not enough powder. I usually convert stuff into dyes and have also too many orbs and other stuff cause the recipe does not use that much… but uses 10 powder.

I’d recommend to make it at least possible to sell stuff for glory… and make it possible to buy powder or to convert glory boosters or orbs, crystals, slivers into powder.

I go from 300 something glory to 500 something glory in hotjoins just by using glory booster. Just think if you calculate your rank and multiply it by 1.5 that’s where you could be at right now rank wise.

Glory boosters don’t affect rank, just glory itself.

Oh Ill have to see for myself then, if that’s the case, its pretty much garbage because I don’t really buy anything because I have everything I want and all the rest of it is garbage.

I don’t even look forward to getting dyes, if anything all I look forward to when opening chests is finishers and gear that I don’t have already.

if I want money I do cof p1, gold does nothing for you in pvp so if all you do is pvp you don’t need gold. Theres nothing special about custom arena unless your in a team and participating in these tournaments.

If you ask me you should be able to convert glory to gems. However one thing they need to fix is team stacking in hotjoins before that to prevent people from farming newbies all day long, which I don’t think they’ll ever do same with glory to gems.

Yeah OP, I run out of powder too. It would be great to have them at least in the glory vendors for say a stack of 10 for 200 glory or something.

There is no possible way where they could convert Glory into Gems. They would essentially be throwing their money away.

Why? They do it in PvE/WvW with Gold for Gems. I’ve played the game since day 1 and I haven’t spent a cent on the gem store and yet have gotten some items.

My friend has unlocked his bank, 8 character slots (total of 8 including the starting ones) sky pirates medium gear, unlimited pick and unlimited harvest, not to mention his back packs (char + quaggan) all from ingame gold. Yet he plays pve (a bit more then I play the game at all) and I play pvp and I get the raw end of the stick.

i made a threat with the glory/gems problem, but noone really supports it. we should probably focus our effort so it may change sometime.

glory (the pvp currency) as it is right now is useless, but gold (the pve currency) on the other hand is really great. you can get everything you want with gold but glory is just.. meh.

Yeah, I actually used the making of dyes opening then selling them to get a little golds so I would have ok gear for WvW.

Right now I need powder also have a ton of everything else.

Also Arcane Converters can’t be stored in the locker… this should be fixed. All other stuff is storable there. I sometimes get them from dailies as reward and don’t need them. So I can only throw them away or letting them use inventory or bank space.

The recipes there all use powder(which I need for colors) and don’t have a recipe that creatse powder from other stuff.

This is the only worthwhile thread on here. +1. WTB more powder.

Bump. More powder please.

Haha, I need more sliver for dyes actually

they should just give us more mystic forge recipes, like slivers to crystal, cystal to orb and orb to dust, and probably “material chests” where you can get dust/orbs/crystals/slivers at random.

I have orbs > crystal > sliver > powder ha ha. Yeah slivers often are also rare. But there are recipes(for Mystic Forge; which afaik use powder). I’m glad I get 3 often from salvaging and most of the time I’m low on powder(if making dyes only… don’t know if this would change when I started producing other stuff like PvP gear for skins… but there I just rely on drops from chests which are plenty enough).

When I lack in powder I normally buy copper-chests.

You want some Arcane Powder?? I wish I could give some of mine to you guys.. Have like over 2000 Powder here and it started to float my inventory >-<

But chests are not powder. You need to open them… then salvage the stuff… and then you get the powder. You use the powder… and other stuff not used like orbs will get more and more.

In the end there is stuff to throw away(unless you don’t want to use your other slots after the 250 stack at locker is full).

The problem is the chest I open, 5 out of 6 are the stuff I already have. In some extreme case, 6/6. So, I salvage them all and wala, before I realize, I got 2000 Piles of Powder stock in bank and inventory.

And then you use the 2000 powder with 200 slivers and still have the 1000-2000 orbs and crystals that you can’t use cause there is no powder to use and no way to convert them into powder(you only need them for other crafting stuff and don’t need them for dyes).

Yep . . . and what’s the issue now?

Need a way to turn the other stuff into powder instead of only throwing it away and buy more chests to get more powder.

Like: Putting 4 stacks of 250 orbs into MF(1000 orbs) could give 500 powder. This would be the easiest way. Of course for all other stuff with different results(more rare stuff = more powder).

Or do a CoF run and get 1g in 10 mins. That’s worth about 250 powders

Where can I buy the 250 powders for 1g? And why should I do PvE if I want to play PvP?

As you stated you want to craft dyes with your powder = the only source of gold achieved through PvP. So isntead of crafting dyes to sell them, farm gold directly.

As you still didn’t reconized what A-Net is doing since ages. They want to force PvP players to do PvE. They do it with skins through living-story, with CA’s which cost gems and now with achievement points.

You QQ-ed about the lack of powder and I suggested you an alternative. No need to get snappy here.

I do it to keep the thread up… maybe they will change something then. There can’t be enough reasons for this.

And I’m not really mainly doing it for gold… 1 time a got an Abyss dye other time only crap… and I’m making more gold WvW at the moment with all the rank chests and just getting Ori nodes at JP.

The problem is: If I crated other stuff… then I’d get all those stuff to 250 stack or get all the armor I can craft(so I can just salvage it again which is pointless)…

There is no real use for crafting… and at some point you stack up all the materials. And you can’t even say “just keep the glory and don’t buy chest” cause there are soo much chests from tournament wins…. they eventually will stack up… and take up space(throw away vs. open… opening more of a pain but nobody likes to throw away stuff).

Which gives me a new idea – at tournament win they should let us choose between chest or crafint materials. Technically it is possible to make rewards where you can choose – we already had this at personal story. Would prevent the tons of chests and you could chose the materials you need.

And dyes are an easy way to get rid of stuff without having to waste anything.

I completely agree with you. But till this system is in place, there’s nothing really we can do.
