Your armor in no way affects your account bound magic find. All MF on armor will disappear. The way we will be able to increase our account bound MF is by salvaging blue and green items and using, what I assume to be, a “Magic Find Essence” or some such.

weird, i never heard anything about that. There is no attempt to try to equate player’s current max MF gear stats into their account? So, everyone will essentially lose a large chunk of MF & have to earn it again?

Yeah, that’s what I understood from everything the Anet Dev said in this thread.

When you say that Celestial gear will not be changed, only the Magic Find removed, does this mean I will not be able to select a different stat combination like all the other Magic Find items? I hope not as that is a serious problem. The Magic Find being on the item was one of the primary factors in that stat allocation’s consideration. It made the compromise more compelling. People need to be able to opt out of this stat allocation like all the others if it is being removed.

Secondly, is Celestial going to receive an overall stat boost to compensate for the loss?

From my understanding today, there will not be an option to change celestial stat combinations as it is only the MF being removed. Also, there does not appear to be any intent to add another stat to the celestial gear to replace it.

Non-MF runes/sigils/etc in your MF gear will stay the same, you are not losing them.

Hey Martin, I’m still confused as to how the MF from the gear gets to our account.

So like.. Say I have a set of armor that gives 100% MF & I have 0 achievement points. How much MF will I have in total after this update?

For your example, you would have 0 MF with 0 achievement points and a full set of MF gear.

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.

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.
