Guild Wars 2

Why is it that when I first click on the exchange tab I get one set of Market Data, but when I actually go to do the exchange of gold for gems, I get a completely different set of data (50s+ higher)?! I almost accident went through with the transaction for a much lower return on my gold.

This is misleading, since most people click on the tab to look at the rates and make a decision there. It’s annoying and gives the impression of deceptiveness (even if that’s not the intent).

“Upgrading a ring takes 1 Shard, 3 Globs and 5 vials + the ring.
You can purchase an agony resistance infusion for 75 relics and place it straight into your ring, and you’ll have 5 agony resistance. "

Thanks but this was already covered in my post. I know the recipe upgrade off of wiki. “Stuff” was kind of a joke.

“If you’re not planing on moving ahead…” I want to move ahead, hence my post. I’d rather not grind endlessly at ~lvl 10 to get a daily pristine, or 1-9 at the rare chance of a coagulated drop.

To get past 11 (or level 15 really) is supposed to be a hardcore challenge? I would offer feedback that this is unrealistic. Maybe getting past level 20 or 30 ok… but getting a basic amount of AR to advance past 10, without wasting relics that you need for a back piece just doesn’t seem right… I’d like my effort, albeit casual, to be rewarded with some advancement.

Maybe this is newb and maybe this has been addressed in another thread, but maybe too try to read this as an “average” player’s take on this.

So I’m FOTM lvl 11. I’ve got no AR right now, and I’m a bit squishy being an ele and as mentioned an “average” player. So I’ve been grinding lvl 10 dailies. I usually have time to do 1, maybe 2 fractal runs. I’m learning the strats but I don’t have tons of time to research. I’m not a twitch gamer so I probably have average responsive skills but I do learn and once I do, I know what I’m doing.

In about 3 weeks of getting to lvl 11 and grinding lvl 10 dailies, I’ve gotten 4 coagulated vials and 1 glob.

Yesterday a legendary tier 1 ring dropped.

How am I supposed to upgrade the ring to actually gain some AR (and hence move past lvl 11) with out having to relentlessly grind 1-10 fractals to get more coagulated “stuff” to upgrade? Or I can spend 75 relics to get +5AR to only then waste it when I actually want to upgrade it?

This seems seriously wacked and anti-casual player. What am I missing? Thank you for not being rude in advance.

it’s a new computer so yep that’s it.

then do you know why is it even showing up? and I appreciate the positive support for a newbie :p

It’s Tues, 12:51pm Eastern. The other 4 objectives in my dailies are advancing, except the Daily Kill Variety. I been to other zones to be sure I’m killin different families. I’ve looked over the wiki, and it’s a Tues task. Is it bugged or am I missing something? I don’t have time to read everything in detail, so the information might be here already. Thanks in advance for the info!
