Guild Wars 2

Thanks so much for the responses, I really appreciate it.

The idea for buying the gear with karma was great, I marked Foefaller’s post as the answer just because I appreciated the specific vendor links.

I’ve also expanded on the idea a bit and started using dungeon tokens to buy cloth rares to salvage as well. It means I won’t unlock all the skins as quickly, but most of the Guardian dungeon gear doesn’t look that great anyway. :p

I knew about the bags, but didn’t have much luck with them while farming before. My 2 scraps was total, and I’m pretty sure they came out of one of the bags I got while farming pirates. I didn’t think about buying the bags off the TP, though. That’s an idea I’ll consider.

Edit: OH! And the jumping puzzle idea was great, too. Thank you, Angel.

I just started looking at what I need for Ascended armor. First of all, I don’t understand why the highest level, best gear in the game requires level 30 mats, but whatever. I need 500 bolts of wool, 250 bolts of cotton, and 500 bolts of linen to complete the entire armor set, and I have very little cloth saved up.

I’m a fairly new player, but I checked the TP anyway. To get the amount of wool I need would cost 30g, whether I buy it as scraps or bolts. While I could afford that, there’s no way I could also afford the cotton and linen I need, so there’s not much point burning a large chunk of my gold on just one of the mats needed.

Is there a good way to farm cloth? I spent about an hour killing pirates in Gendarran Fields, and ended with 2 wool scraps from a bag, and 0 cloth salvage items or light armor pieces. That’s not really an acceptable farm rate considering the amount of cloth needed. For all the cloth, if I farmed 2 hours a day at that rate, it would take me almost 2 years to get the cloth I need (total wool, cotton, and linen, assuming the other 2 are similar drop rates).

Am I missing something?
