Guild Wars 2

The new enchanted powder doesn’t seem to be working correctly. It takes one from each stack of boosts I have. Then when I click on the new enchanted powder icon it will only give me one boost and then I loose the others.
That doesn’t sound right, why would it only let you choose one and you loose all the others that it had contained?

Please replace the boosts it consumed on my account and you can have those other 41 powders as I don’t see the benefit for using them.

Thanks

I think you misunderstand what it does. It only takes ONE booster in your inventory (2 if you only have karma boosters in your inventory) and converts it into an enchanted booster, which lets you pick which booster you want to use upon using said enchanted booster.

Hmm..I must not be getting it. I still don’t think this is that great, I only get one boost and but I have to give up 5 or 6 others? Lost all my karma boosts plus a bunch others just to condense them down and then only get to select one. Yes I tried it 4 times and that’s how it worked all 4 times. So gone is the gathering boost, magic find boost and 3 others just so I can select one karma boost.

It’s a one-to-one ratio, except in the case of Karma Boosters where it is a two-to-one ratio. The purpose of the Boost Enchantment Powder is to exchange one kind of Booster into another, within select categories.

That’s it. It does nothing else. It doesn’t eat up your Boosters, nor give you more than you had before.

Yeah, you’re not getting it. When you use a dust it only takes ONE booster and converts that ONE booster into one of the two enchanted boosters. The only time it uses more than one booster is if you only have karma boosters in your inventory, since it uses 2 karma boosters.

Thanks guys and gals. Below is what happened to me.

I had the following in my bag

14 extra dmg boosts
2 karma boosts
8 gathering boosts
4 exp
6 speed boosts
23 reduced dmg boosts
5 magic find boosts
7 heal over time boosts

When I clicked on the dust it took the following and coverted into one boost and when I clicked on the new boost it said I had to select one.

The new boost had the following on the inside of it when I clicked it:
1 karma
1 gathering boost
1 magic find
1 exp
1 Crafting

I selected the gathering boost and all the others disapeared. If that is what suppose to happen then again the powder is not worth it.

My big issues is that the new dust boost says “select one from the list”. When you choose one you loose all the others.

And yes I tested this 4 times and all 4 times it worked the same for me. I could only select one from the list of boosts and lost all the others. But again if that is how its suppose to work so be it.

Thanks again for your help.

Yes, you’re only supposed to be able to choose one boost from the new booster.

And for the record, I agree: it’s not worth it.

You choose one kind of boost from the list. Those aren’t your boosts. If you were to try the Enchanted Booster with only one booster in your inventory, you would still see that same list (or the Combat list, if you have a combat-type booster in your inventory).

It’s not taking all those boosters from your inventory; it took one, or in the case of Karma Boosters, two.

I’m not sure what you are thinking the Enchanted Booster is supposed to do. Or how you think it is working.

It merely allows you to exchange (one for one, except Karma two for one) one kind of booster for another.

If it is taking one from each of your stacks of boosters in your bags, then I would agree it isn’t working correctly and you would need to make sure you only have one booster in your bag at a time. It is not supposed to work like that. It should only take one booster (or two in the case of Karma) from the first booster stack in your inventory.
