Guild Wars 2

Alright, thanks.

Would it be worthwhile to save up and buy a Watchwork Pick, when I already have the Molten? Having trouble deciding

So, when I came back about a month ago, and found out the watchwork mining pick gave an extra drop, it didn’t really bother me, because I was under the impression it was a rather low rate. Certainly I would buy one at this point if I didn’t already have my Molten pickaxe, but I didn’t think the sprocket drop was significant. A friend of mine, however, purchased a Watchwork Pickaxe the other day, and I discovered how high the rate actually is. Why does this tool have a “leg up” on the others for the same price? Or do the other tools have some sort of unlisted benefit?

After I saw this post yesterday, and went back on my Elementalist, I noticed this issue as well. My Warrior, quite often, can survive long enough, get off a Vengeance, and finish off an enemy in PvE, or if lucky, in WvW. MY Elementalist has only survived downed once, and thats because the enemy was burned and died while I was downed.

I had an idea for a change, that could go well with the Elementalist’s profession mechanic…namely, having our downed state based upon our attunement at death. Skills that fit with the element, and(hopefully) are more useful when downed than what we currently have. i.e, If I am downed while attuned to Air, I have the current 1, A Blowback for 2, and some other 3 skill that I haven’t thought too much about, while as earth, I could have a “rock throw” type skill for 1, a Knockdown for 2, a defensive skill for 3.

I’ve got 400 Weaponsmithing and Armorsmithing…while there is little profit on the MARKET, I’ve made some money on crafting specifics for people. They supply materials(via mail), and I return the finished good in exchange for payment, which is usually more than I’d profit on the market had I crafted the item and sold it, but less than they’d lose buying it relative to buying materials(Due to the Trading Post fees, selling a 3g item for 3.2g is actually negative, while having someone give me 15 silver and materials for the weapon earns a net profit of 15s)

Karma grinding. Just great. Time to make ue of the Influence Banners I’m crafting in my guild

I heard that on top of changing the recipes, they also altered the appearance somewhat, so that video may not be 100% accurate…though I’m not completely sure they did alter the appearance.
