Ok so I just kinda glanced over all the posts, but what I got from all this, my MF armor is now useless. on my characters that have magic find armor, that is my secondary set, basically a pve set that I use for world events, etc. I have better armor that I use for WvW or dungeons, or anywhere that it actually needed. So my armor that I only use for MF, will become account bound, and I get to choose a stat? That does me absolutely no good. I spent gold, and crafting materials making several sets of MF equipment, and Anet is telling me that it’s all garbage. I know it’s hard to make everyone happy, but still, I guessing alot of people are in the same boat as me, and aren’t going to ever use this armor again. I just don’t understand why this seemed like a good idea.
+1 to your post, my celestial and other MF armor are just for Pve Farming, and I have two or three other set on my characters.
Now, my Celestial and MF armor will besame useless…
I didnt see it in here uyet, but what will happen ro MF gear in a guild bank?
scared of having items stuck in guild bank forever with bound to another character text on them
Another proof that many GW2 player has never see/read/be informed about the announcement of the end of MF gear.
I hope you are not seriously saying that you intentionally obtained a full set of celestial gear for the Magic Find even though they said that Magic Find was being removed from gear WELL before you could have possibly obtained a full set.
The main point of Celestial gear is NOT magic find. The main point of Celestial gear is to provide a set of dirt cheap unspecialized exotic gear. The only build that ever really got any use out of it as a “specialized” set was and continues to be an Attunement dancing Elementalist. The design of Celestial gear suggests it is not intended to be used by specific builds, rather, that it can be used by new/poor players to get their first character into exotics while they work on getting the gold/mats/tokens necessary to get their real exotics.
As I said before, the celestial gear utility was only in the MF (this is my opinion).
Perhaps one build is viable with it but I don’t think there is much more than one.
Replace Explorer with Celestial give me more HP and Def so it’s most interesting to use it instead of explorer when I farm event. Power and Precision doesn’t realy mater when I farm event in orr and I got more Altération and CC Damage. And with the last 3 weak of zerg farming (I do t least 5 map a week so I’m not a big zerg farmer), Celestial was more usefull than Explorer.
By the time you were able to use charged crystals to craft Celestial gear, you knew the nerf to MF was coming. Therefore you were knowingly taking a risk by crafting that gear without any reassurances about what would happen to the MF when it was converted.
No, I don’t know a word about that.
Even if this was said somewhere by Anet (once again I apologyze to not read every single word from Anet communication) why have they made a new set named celestial with MF stat ?

I chose some celestial trinkets prior to realizing how poor they perform compared to dedicated stat items like Zerk and Rabid. I admit thakittens my fault and was ready to just be mad at myself for wasting laurels and fractal relics but accept it.
However now they are changing the items and making it even worse, at least before this change if I wanted to do easy content and have MF these Celestial items would be worth swapping to… now there is no reason.
I don’t care if you don’t buff Celestial just give us the option to change it like all the other MF gear, or if someone wants to keep their Celestial they can choose that.
This can be a good thing to have something more usefull in return.
But, I repeat that I hope Charged Crystal won’t be usefull to reach the lvl 500 crafting.
I’ve use 45 charged Crystal to made my celestial gear and weapon.
If now I see that it was better let them in my bank to lvl crafting easer this won’t be fair!!!
I think they’re going to allow MF users that utilize the gear change their stats once to what they want. Simple, easy to do, painless.
Yes exept for those who got celestial stuff…
And those who made celestial lose 40+ charged crystal for something usless now.
Hope those crystal won’t be usefull to reach the new 500 lvl crafting cap and made ascended and precussor.How is Celestial useless now? It still has all the other stuff…. When I crafted my Celestial weapon, the MF was a nice bonus, nothing more.
My opinion about the celestial is that those gear are only usefull because they got MF stats.
That’s the reason why I’ve craft them to replace my old Eplorer stuff (celestial is more balanced so pretty better to farm with MF than explorer).
That’s why (one more time, this is my opinion) they will became useless.

- Celestial will stay as it is minus the MF bonus on it.
Ehrm… how is this fair?
There is no fair to give MF to any one that salvage bleu green stuff, when it take time and gold to make exotic MF stuff (celestial include) to us and we lose all our investment.
Yes, MF gear / rune / sigil / crest take time and gold to be made, even if they are cheaper than other stuff.
And we have invest time and gold to made them, so it’s no fair to lose the investment.
I didn’t spend a MONTH making this armor AND large amounts of gold to have it simply become less effective.
In terms of gold, celestial gear is some of the cheapest gear out there and probably the cheapest craftable.
how much gold can you earn in a month? that’s how much an item set cost for which you need a month to craft.
If you farm for a month getting enough gold, then buy the item, it is a time investment. Unless you pay to win with gems.Also: quartz is about 1.2s. you need 25 for 1 charged. you need 5 charged for one item.
1.2*25*5 = 150 — this is with large stockpiles of quartz from a living story chapter. once people realize that quartz does not grow on trees, but has to be mined ONCE A DAY PER ACCOUNT, prices will skyrocket.
then it will be gold wise, the most expensive one.once the stockpile in the trading post is gone, you can get 3 per day.
so you need on average 8.3 days to get 1 charged quartz.that is 41 days for 5 charged quartz.
40kittening1
for the worst gear.
somebody is kidding me. not sure who
Uhh… You can get Quartz from all 5 home instances regardless of your race. At the same time, you have a chance to get 5 quartz or even a charged quartz on every hit of the pickaxe. If you’re really good, you could easily end up with 1 charged and 12 quartz from a single node.
I’m sure Talverion has never done what he say.
Travelion, for your information, when you get quartz from the node of a home instance (for example the node from the hom instance of Rata sum) you can’t get any other quartz from any other home instance with any of your char account.
You can only do it if you’ve mutli account and if you have done the event to get the node in your home for every of those account.
If you’re as me, and only got one account, you can get 3 to 18 quartz crystal per day (pick the node can give 1 to 6 quartz) but 3×6 is only for the very luckiest of us (The max I’ve got in a row was 1×6 + 2×1).
You can also if you’re realy realy realy lucky got 1 charged crystal when you pick the node (Since I got the node I’ve only got 1 extra and I’m lucky for that because some of us never add one).
So, before you say something, you’ll better test it.
- Upgrade components that currently give MF bonus will be updated with new functionality.
Hmm, and what will we do if those fonctinality aren’t what we want?
We cannot salvage and sale those runes/sigil to refund and buy better suitable fonctionality upgrade components without lose the gear.
So the only choice we will have is to replace the runes/sigil with another and lose the first investment.
For the celestial It’s not a good deal to me to see them lose reason why I’ve made it => MF with balanced stat.
I’ve used 45 Charged Quartz Crystal and lot of Orichalcum/Gossamer/Ancient Wood to get something that will became usless to me!!!
Another question :
My Celestial gear as been transmuted with Braham skin, can you confirm to me that I will not lose the skin with the Celestial stats update?
Hmmm I just finished to change all my old MF stuff (armor/weapon) into a celestial one and I’m on the way to buy Ascended gear with laurels (I already got the amulet with the mgical infusion and one ring) for my main char.
Off course I got Pirate and traveler superior rune on armors and Superior sigil of luck and Crest of the traveler on weapons.
I also have another char that got a full MF armor.All those things has cost me a lot of time and a lot of laurels.
Now you say no more MF stuff????Hmmm ok, What people who spend time to get those old stuff will get in exchange?
They said MF gear was going away a few months back…yet you still went ahead and spent all that?
OK I apologyze to not read every word of Anet communication.
In fact has I’ve not hour and hour to spend for that the only com’ from Anet I read is the release informations.
But if they have announced that few months back, why have they made the new celestial set (that is just good for MF farm <= that’s only a personal opinion) and ascended MF stuff?
And what will became the skin I’ve put on my MF stuff?
Same questiosn about MF food/booster/guild Banner?
