Guild Wars 2

Hi there,

I’m pretty sure alot of you have noticed that some Cores/Lodestones are much more worth then others…. So why is that?

Easy to answer some of them are needed for specific popular legendarys. (e.g. something like Twilight, Sunrise)

So why are there Cores/Lodestone worth like nothing but are as rare as the others.
Well they’re also needed for some rare weapons but these weapons aren’t that popular as the legendarys so people dont bother with them.

So what could we do to prefent this trend of rising prices for Cores/Lodestones?
Ahhh! There we go the interesting part. I also thought about that. There might be a easy and reasonable thing to do. You should be able to transmute one Core/Lodestone to any other kind with easy accessable things.
My idea would be something like you put 3 Cores/Lodestones in to the forge + a random one and you get 4 of the Cores/Lodestones you put 3 of in.
That easy recipe would instantly balance the prices between the Cores/Lodestones and there wouldn’t be something like 4g for one Lodestone.

I know I’m writing of the sight of someone who wants to buy charged cores/lodestones and this is just unreasonable to buy them for 4g each. While others like crystal or glacial are just 20 s or 40 s each.

Hope there will be made something soon.

The answer is simple: some of them are more rare than others

That is incorrect im pretty sure every Core/Lodestone has the same droprate as any other core/lodestone so that answer is false.

Only they drop from completely different mobs some are easy to find, for example there are lots of level 80 Imps and Ice Elementals to get Glacial Lodestones, while there aren’t any Destroyers or Earth Elementals level 80 in the game so good luck “grinding” for Destroyer and Onyx Lodestones. It’s obvious that legendaries play an important role to Lodestone prices but the inability to farm the most “popular” ones is also driving the prices high. For some reason the most popular weapons require the least farmable lodestones for example Charged Lodestones needed for Sunrise drop in Crucible of Eternity which is one of the hardest dungeons while Air Elementals of level 80 are very very few, near impossible to grind

There shouldn’t be any grinding.
However you might not be familiar with that but all cores and lodestones drop in Fractals.

I know that but if you look at the TP the cheapest Lodestones are those that can be farmed from mobs…..

How about a new recipe? It can salvage something contains charged lodestones. And it is limited by black lion kit. Some players who are willing to spend money and the others players can obtain lodestones simply. That is a win-win situation, right?
