Guild Wars 2

Does anyone know if essence of luck is account bound or not?

It’s account bound, Linsey Murdock showcased this in their livestream about ascended crafting.

I was wondering the same thing.

Thanks Puschel.

I dislike this greatly. What happens if a character wants to salvage gears for mats, but the account already has 300% MF? These should be sellable, just like the mats.

I’m crossing my fingers and hoping the Essence she had was the stuff being sent to the chars in the mail (the 20%) in which case I can understand it being bound.

However if you salvage gear for it, you should be able to sell it. Especially since they are putting an account cap on it.

^ What makes you think it would still drop after you reached the cap?

It does also destroy the whole point of salvaging blues and greens if you can simply buy it all on the TP.

That’s like thinking that because my bank is full of Mithril ore, that when I salvage an item it won’t drop Mithril ore. It’s just not how they do the mechanics.

And it doesn’t destroy the point, because obviously if it’s on the TP someone is breaking down blues and greens. Not everyone is going to want to break them down. Some will want to sell then regardless, now they will just sell them on the TP instead of to an NPC. No difference other than value. All the other items we get from salvage are sellable, so Essence of Luck should be too.

That sucks Removes the purpose of it after getting to 300% MF.

I want to point out there is and MF peak performance at 150% currently did they say they are going to change that? They mentioned a new method to get but they didn’t mention changing the mechanic i think.

I think it’ll take a very large amount of salvaging blues and greens to get to that 300%… It won’t be linear. Meaning you’ll need more and more items to get a 1% increase.

You can indirectly sell and purchase essence of luck by buying random blues and greens off the TP.

With the number of essences required to advance increasing with each % you already have… I think folks are GROSSLY underestimating how much effort it’s going to take to reach 300%

They probably don’t drop off over every savage and we could be looking at tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of essences to cap out.
