Laurel farming account worth doing?

If you got the account during the 75% sale you make back the 500 gems in less than two months and it’s then just profit after that.

Just wanna point out that the 500 gems sale in the gem store is just an account upgrade to your current one. It’s not a new account with a new serial code.

Farming CoT worth it?

Just do the 3 paths daily, not worth doing any path twice. CoE and Arah also offers berserker stats gear. Grenth’s temple also has zerk gear(karma), but can’t be salvaged. Fastest way of course would be to buy gear off the TP.

I mean its bad enough I still have yet to get any Ascended crate ( not even from the 3000+ bandit chests I have opened) but now I get cheated on 3 chests today that could have been a Teq Hoard

You can only get teq hoard from the exotic bag anyway..and the big chest

You can work around it by changing your underwater utilities to stuff you never ever use.

I usually have around 30-60fps but when I logged in today, my fps became 10-17. It was completely fine just yesterday. I tried turning off the UI but it seems its not related to the UI. I also tried other games but it seems my fps seems to be fine there.

I can see them bundling them together and offering a small discount after HoT maybe.

What to do with exotics?

in Players Helping Players

Mystic forging your exotics is probably not the most cost efficient way to get a precursor. Some have forged thousands of gold to get nothing, with which they could have gotten several if not dozens of precursors. The “success stories” are few and far between. You can also get precursors from forging average level 75+ rares since there’s a 20% chance to promote the forged item to the next rarity. But I don’t recommend doing so either.

Personally, I sell any exotic with a useless sigil/rune worth above 1g. If salvaging the sigil/rune gets me most of the money I would get from selling it, then I salvage it with the free black lion salvage kits from dailies to get the upgrade component and a chance at getting globs of ectoplasms.

Frankly, unless you really want to go for a lot of ascended, I don’t recommend salvaging exotics just for the sake of getting dark matter. I’m at 198 dark matter without even trying. The ‘% at rare materials’ that salvage kits have simply means you have a chance of getting gossamer scraps(t6) instead of silk scraps(t5) for light armor, orichalcum(t6) instead of mithril(t5) for heavy, etc. It does not reflect the drop rate of globs of ectoplasm.
However, the higher the quality of the kit, the higher the chance of getting ectoplasms from the salvaged lv68+ rare/exotic.

Weapon does not seem to scale to your character size until you click preview again while the preview window is up or check the other preview options(stowed/wielded/weapon only)
