Guild Wars 2

Does the 10% influence buff for PvP actually affect influence earned in WvW? My officers keep building and using it, but i think the correct buff for influence are the ones under politics. Can anyone confirm or deny this for me? In a guild of 400+ there is just too much influence coming in from all over to figure which buff is affecting what. I dont want to build the PvP influence, as it is usually rushed, if i dont have to.

Thanks!

I’ve been told it works as well. If you’re rushing it, you do realize that your guild will have to do at least 550 events with at least 2 people there just to make up for the rushing cost and the cost to build the buff.

2 people at an event = 20 influence. 10% of that is 2 influence. Cost to rush the pvp influence buff = 1000 influence. Cost to build the buff = 100 influence.

If you only have one person present at an event, you’ll only get 2 influence total so don’t even think the buff will effect it.

There’s not much point in rushing the influence buffs since most of the time you’ll be better off without having done so unless you’re sure that your guild does enough to make up for the cost.

If it were to affect WvW, I agree it shouldnt be rushed as we would never get the return on investment. At least I can make sure we dont rush it any more. Hopefully, someone knows with 100% certainty if the PvP influence affects WvW.
