Benthic Waterbreather drops from Tequatl, and you can sell it on the TP.
I remember before, these could be salvaged, but now they cannot.
Has this been changed? There’s a strength rune in there I’d like to get.
Thanks

Didn’t they notice this during testing, or is this some debug flag that got left on by mistake?
Yes it was Jade Maw, and come to think of it, the popup to go back to the lab did come up early.
The team said you only get a bonus chest after level 10, and I’m sure that wasn’t correct.
So we have a few issues here:
1) The bonus chest taking a long time before coming up after the boss is killed.
2) Players thinking they don’t get a bonus chest below level 10.
No I didn’t.
If it hasn’t changed, then it’s a bug.
I’ve seen a post about it 2 months ago, but it hasn’t been fixed yet.

Hi,
I took a break from gw2 for about 5 months, and I have now returned.
My fractal level is 15, and if I remember, completing 4 x level 1 fractal run, gave a bonus chest at the end of the boss fight.
It contained a pristine fractal relic.
I completed a run today and defeated the boss, but no chest.
Has this been changed?
I do see daily fractal now sometimes that give a pristine fractal relic, is this the only way to get them now?
So if there is no daily fractal achievement, then no pristine fractal relic?
Thanks
~Bigoak
Healing Turret – Cleansing Burst says and does remove conditions correctly, but doesn’t count towards the Condition Remover daily.
The Corruption stacks are being applied correctly on my Giver’s Shield, and the Condition Damage is being increased on my Hero panel.
So not all Sigils on Giver’s weapons are bugged.

I just realised, that as the times are in CET the 19:00 Tequatl option is also pretty much off the table for working Irish and UK players. For Ireland and the UK the mega boss times fall at 2:00, 3:00, 4:00, 11:30, 12:30, 13:30, 17:00, 18:00 and 19:00 (that’s in IST/BST not CET).
As a working man who (like most workers now, I’d imagine) commutes the only real option there is 19:00 and even that is a stretch. This seems like it might push away a lot of working players.
The fair way to do this would be to have more of these windows that “rotate” from different times. A given boss needs to spawn every 5 hours or that each boss spawns 4 times per day at predictable but different times from day to day.
This means that about 1 in every 5 days you won’t get the boss at all during the 4 or so hours that constitute “peak” times in whatever time-zone you’re in but every one will have days where the bosses spawn during their “peak” times.
I have to agree with this. For someone who’s play window is UK time, currently I can fit all the bosses in my play window. With the new proposed times, I will just make Tequatl and completely miss Karka Queen unless my Guild activates it. Sure, some other Guild can activate it, but how am I suppose to know when this happens and even be in the same map? This new system seems very restrictive.
I’m also worried about the smaller bosses and events. Currently my server is sometimes quiet on certain bosses, and can be done with a few people. Now it will be a melt fest with lag and fps drops. You’ll be lucky to get to events in time on maps when they are constantly full. It’s gone from one extreme to the other.
~Bigoak
In theory, combined MegaServer’s sound like a good idea, but I have a few concerns.
1. What will happen to Guild Missions/everts (karka queen etc) when we port from map to map?
2. My server runs a Temple at a specific time every day, how will this group manage to run this on the same map, if hardly anyone in the group are friends list or Guild members?
3. If I’m in a map and need help, I ask the Guild and some come, will they be ported to the same map? What if I’m on a map which already has max capacity and 20/30 Guild members try to come help me?
4. What if I’m at a World Boss and tell my Guild it has spawned, will they be able to come to the same boss I am at?
Merging servers sounds good, but it should not be the only solution. We should still have the same server setup as we currently have, and home server. I think the MegaServer should be an option. Have it on the Server Guest list, and be able to guest unlimited to it. So if you feel like doing some map events, you can guest on there and see more people.
However, I still don’t think this will solve the problem, which is maps will still be empty, and people will still only do certain events and afk in hubs.
The main issue is what reason do we have to explore the other maps?
One solution is the dynamic events. We need to bring these back to life.
A revamped reward system should be implemented for these to make it worthwhile to do them. As an example, have completing 3 unique events on a map give better rewards. Either a multiplier to the current reward, or somethign else.
1st unique event gives x10.
2nd gives x7.
3rd gives x5.
4th gives same old reward.
Make the rewards on par with or slightly better than champ farming.
This will give people motivation to do dynamic events on all maps.

I was pretty excited about the upcoming Feature patch, but as someone who main’s an Engineer, the more details I see about the patch, the more nerf’s I see to my profession.
To maximise my 2 builds (condition and HGH/might dur), I need to mix and match my runes. Now it seems that they are reducing the 2nd stat bonus on all runes, this pretty much makes my current builds useless.
You are also no longer allowed to swap out your stacking sigil, so this means I can no longer swap out my Corruption sigil, to a Bursting sigil, without losing all my +250 condition damage bonus.
All this along with the -10% reducion to Critical Damage, I feel like I will not be motivated to login as my Engineer.
Unless they match or better the stats I currently get with my mix/match runes, and allow Engineer’s to weapon swap like the other professions, this is a nerf that will make my Engineer gather dust on the character select screen.
~Bigoak
Thanks for this, I had the same issues and this solution fixed it.
Strangely enough, it also fixed my lag problems also.
Edit: spoke too soon.

I can accept bugs, to produce 100% bug free code is quite difficult with something this huge and in the current LS timeframes. Plus I think that their turn around in fixing the LS bugs is quick, considering they have to find the issue, fix the issue, test the fix, then release the patch. This is a sub-free game, not a mission critial system with 99.9% uptime.
However, what I don’t accept are the bugs that have been around for over a year. It sounds like they have no core team to fix these bugs. As an example, my guild run temples once a week, and to try one temple only to find that it’s bugged again and can’t be run it this week is very demotivating to continue playing something that takes away from your enjoyment. Look at the wiki and see what runes, sigils, class skills etc which do not have a bug comment.
I hope that the upcoming patches before Season 2 LS will contain many of these bug fixes. We all want a stable core system, don’t we?

If they replaced Mystery Tonics with Black Lion Claim Ticket Scraps, then I might consider buying keys again.
Hi,
I just upgraded my exotic armour to ascended.
I used a black lion salvage kit on my old exotic armour to salvage the runes.
2 of which (gloves and shoudlers) were transmuted to Radiant skins.
Although 1 of them salvaged fine, the other didn’t (gloves I think).
So I have lost 1 Superior Rune of the Traveler.
Are these Radiant/Hellfire skins non-salvagebale, or is this a bug?
Edit: it seems I only salvaged 1. The other Radiant skin just vanished when I swapped it to ascended.
Thanks

You mean this?
Livestream notes: “WvW rank up chests will have increased drop rate for Ascended weapons/armor. Also increased drop rate from Guild Mission chests and Tequatl chests.”
I had a soulbould amulet with a Fine Mighty Infusion on it.
Using the Upgrade Extractor on it, extracted the Infusion correctly.
The amulet remained soulbound, and the Infusion was account bound.
The only way to account bound rings is to infuse them in the forge.
However, doing so will delete any existing infusions currently attached to it.

Wow, I never knew about this site. Listening to the music on it’s own makes you appreciate just how good the GW2 soundtacks are, well done.
To be honest, I needed to guest on Desolation just to finish the Teq meta, because my home server doesn’t do it. I’ll probably have to do the same with the new wurm too. :-(
Thanks for the tips. After waiting for the LS event to pop in overflow, when it did start all skills locked up. I re-connected but was thrown into another overflow where the event was not going on (thought events were same time on all servers?). I’ll try these suggestions from now on.
I’m not sure how much the market would get flooded, I thought these were quite rare drops previously?
I meant, that in the past, when some account bound items were changed to tradable on a patch drop, they also changed your item to tradeable until you used it again. Instead, these remain account bound still.
~Bigoak
“New drops of Endless Mystery Tonics can be traded until they are used once.”
Can I ask why people who now get these as drops can sell them on the TP, yet the people who had them before the patch, cannot? Even if you have not used your tonic after the patch, it still remains Acount Bound, and you are unable to sell it?
~Bigoak
It’s a new world boss, but by the sounds of it, it’s the next Teq-like encounter?

With the introduction of AR infusion recipes to increase your AR stat, is it also time to create a Mystic Forge recipe to infuse Ascended Amulets?
~Bigoak
Which is a shame really, because apart from these temple events (which I really enjoy), there is no other reason to venture into Orr apart for nodes. At least Grenth seems OK.
That’s why the prices of those skins are what they are on the TP. It’s probably cheaper to buy them off the TP than buy keys with gold to gems transfer.
And this helps and promotes the GW2 community how?

Still stuck at 2/5 after having jumped a few cones. I feel like playing House of Pain at this event, in both senses.
Edit: ok, it seems to be much easier when there’s only a few of you there.
(edited by Bigoak.3270)
Maybe they can at least add an item to allow you to change the stats on it, even if this is a gem store item.
Confirmed on GH server also. Perhaps he’s stuff in the rock. I know this happened to some of Scarlet’s Invasions before.
Confirmed. A load of us jumping for a while and no-one gets more than 1/5 or 2/5.
Happened to me yesterday at the Temple of Grenth, all skills locked up. Had to relog. Maybe it’s a cut in to stop bots when too much activity is going on? I was spamming my grenage kit like a madman.
Are you sure about this? My grenage kit tests on the Lion’s Arch targets resulted in higher DPS with my ascended rifle equiped.
Gossamer already doubled in price.
Search is limitied to last 1 hour of posts. Anything older than that is not returned, which is not very useful.
Maybe a new Elder Dragon will kill her. ;-)
What has happened to Orr?
I remember when doing map completion with my main Engi some months ago, it was hard, but possible. Now it’s a nightmare, even on my Guardian. There is no way my Mesmer could do this. :-) The amount of new skills those Vets have, plus the fact that a lot of skill points interupt constantly because they are near contested statues. I know this area is high level, but the jump from Mount Maelstrom to this is night and day.
I think it means the ‘+5’ infused AR stat becomes an extra upgrade slot, so you will now have 2 slots, like ascended weapons.
The existing upgrade slot (‘+5’ AR and off/def stat remains).
Sounds like the tower will be there forever then, if no-one will be injecting antitoxin after getting all their achievements. ;-)
Maybe this will be a clue. Progress bar only at 10% after week 2. People don’t return to living story content after completion.
Hi,
I have 3 level 80 characters.
On 1 of my characters, I am level 500 Weaponsmith, and I wanted to create Ascended Greatswond (Soros’s Claymore) for my alt who doesn’t have Weaponsmith.
I created all 4 components required to create an Ascended Greatsword (Soros’s Claymore).
Soros’ Assassin Inscription
Vision Crystal
Deldrimor Steel Greatsword Blade
Deldrimor Steel Greatsword Hilt
I didn’t see how to create it via the crafting list, and it didn’t allow me to discover it. I then went to the mystic forge, and still no.
I then went back to the Weaponsmith Vendor and saw Recipe: Ascended Greadsword.
It didn’t say Weaponsmith (500) on it, but only “Double-click and choose which Ascended Greatsword recipe to receive.”
I thought great, I’ll buy the Recipe with my alt and create it.
I then bought the Recipe: Ascended Greatsword from the Weaponsmith for 5 Laurels + 3 gold with my alt.
I thought that if I double-clicked this Recipe, it would open up the Ascended Greatsword creation window and allow me to create it.
However, when I double-clicked on it, instead it flashed on-screen like recipe learned, then nothing happened. Didn’t allow me to choose anything.
There is no indication if only a level 500 weaponsmith can create this item.
So now I have lost 5 Laurels + 3 gold.
I thought that this maybe a bug. I learned Weaponsmith (0) via the alt and low and behold, Soros’s Claymore (Ascended) is on the crafting list, but I need to be (500).
How does it know I needed to create Soros’s Claymore when I didn’t choose it?
All I did was double-click Recipe: Ascended Greatsword. I couldn’t choose anything after that.
Also, why are the Ascended Weapon Recipes at the wendor not saying you need to be Weaponsmith (500) in order to use it, like the Inscriptions on the previous tab.
Now I have lost 5 days of playtime due to a bug, or a poorly implemented Ascended Weapon crafting system.
Can I get those 5 Laurels + 3 gold back, or at the very least, the Recipe: Ascended Greatsword sent to me via in-game mail so I can create it with the other lat?
The recipe’s at the vendor should also be fixed to include the text Weaponsmith (500).
~Bigoak
Agreed, but I doubt the event will be changed.
In EU, Desolation is your best bet for a kill, but it’s impossible to get into the main server. One guildmate told me he got his kill after waiting over 3 hours to get out of overflow and into main, and that was a quick wait.
I’m sorry, but when I buy a game, I want to play it, not be forced to wait or queue for hours.
~Bigoak
Thanks for this. I made a mistake in my choice and there wasn’t a go back button on the cinematic screen. I’ll have to level a new char and make sure I choose the right option next time.
Plus 95% of all mobs on the map have vanished on GH. Too soon for xmas holidays.
Gunnar’s Hold has only killed Tequatl twice I think, and both times were organised guesters. I wouldn’t waste you time on GH. Try guesting on a higher population server like Desolution.
I agree, Des seems to get kills on a regualr basis, but you can never get on, always stuck in overflow limbo.
The problem is most people don’t want to do the event on overflow, because they assume it will fail. They try for a long time to get into the main server. Spend hours going back and forth through the portal between Darkweather Waypoint and Govoran Waypoint to get into the main server. I’m sure this is not what Anet wanted, people wasting their time going through a portal non-stop for hours. Hardly fun. It’s stuff like this that will drive poeple away. Why on earth this event is in open world and living story is beyond me.
I feel the OP’s pain. Still trying myself, but it’s futile. My server only has 1-3 people turning up now, and once Oct 1st rolls around, your chances of a kill seems unlikely.
Guesting is the same, and when you do find a good server, you’re stuck on overflow.
You will have to be very lucky to randomly guest on a server that gets a kill.
I’m all for hard and organised content, but this and the next level 80 dungeon path should NOT be Living World content. Living World should be fun and accessable to all.
More elite content then?
Just failed the event with dragon down to 65%. Was attcking the dragon for most of the event, yet no bonus dragon chest. Half the people on the event got a bonus chest, half didn’t. Not very motivating. :-)
