Guild Wars 2

With the removal of magic find, it’s still possible to craft the Quivver and Tome in the Mystic Forge that originally had Wayfarer’s prefix. The result is you get a stat-customisable ascended backpiece where Celestial is one of the options, so basically you’ve got a backdoor opened to crafting ascended backpieces that probably wasn’t intentional.

Please disable the MF recipe for Quiver of a Thousand Arrows and There With Yakkington now until you have a fix.

I see these still being crafted – will you plug the hole asap, Anet?

Wow… just. Wow. I hope this gets seen.

I don’t see how this is a problem. If anything, it’s a necessary implementation. The limited stat options on backpieces has been an oversight for far too long.

Op, what’s your problem with this?

It’s expensive and the stat combo’s should of been added months ago.

Not an exploit seeing the features was designed to give us the ability to grab any “crafted” stats available once the item was reset. So we are doing that.

Now what is happening is players taking advantage of an item set they overlooked. I really doubt they’ll let us keep the celestial backpiece. I believe they’ll either reset the stats and make us pick something else or they’ll let us keep it but disable the recipe for the item itself.

Though for now, “Yippy ky yay ky yo!”

Hopefully they deal with it accordingly. Same goes with the “easy 80” crafting debacle.

This isn’t a problem, people always trying to find something to say is an exploit. Let people craft their back piece @ a cheaper price. Folks mad they used a stack of t6 bloods.
