If you check the current predictions of next week’s matchup from millennium.org, it’s really looking ridiculous. Tier1 will be Sorrow’s Furnace, Ehmry Bay and Kaineng. JQ will drop all the way to Tier 5 with Henge of Denravi and Tarnished Coast. How fun do you think these matchups will be for the players? The matchups will be unbalanced for almost all the servers. It will take at least a month or 2 to re-balance the ratings of the servers. I don’t think the total ratings reset is a good idea. Unless the new math used to determine the ratings and matchups can somehow compensate and adjust quickly, WvW will go back to the chaos status as when the game first launched.
This is non-sense. No way you can prove no market manipulation with any method you could propose. That you cannot do it doesn’t mean others cannot do it either. And 2000 gold is not even remotely enough to manipulate the market. No further discussions necessary.
Zaxares is right. Blue and white is never soulbound, green, yellow and orange will be soulbound when you equip. This applies to almost all items, armor, weapon, trinkets, etc. One exception is the Ancient Karka Shell, which is account bound but not soulbound even after you equip it.
I have a L-80 ele, who is “now” an “Artificer/Leatherworker”. I find that I can’t change disciplines for this character. Is that because I’m a L-80?? or is this a “bug” that needs adjusting??
That’s fine, but when I try to change “disciplines”, my existing ones are “blacked out” and I don’t get the option to change to another—————The “disclaimer” on cost is there, but the option to actually change is not.
Did you talk to the master crafter you want to change to?
So based on the description of some of the posts above, the agony effect is a big jump from level 19 to level 20, and it pretty much stays the same between level 10 to level 19, is this true?
this is such a stupid discussion. if you do it right your crafting should be 100% profit. If you buy from the TP to craft YES YOU ARE LOSING MONEY. I can make gold ez on any of my crafts simply by going out and farming the materials. farm all of it, even ectos. Just do fractals, salvage the rares turn around make profit with crafting. yes it might take a while to make a few items. is it worth the time? who knows but the fact of the matter is you will not make a quick buck off craft. you can make a slow buck but its 100% proft.
Bartas already replied you 10 days ago, you spent time gathering, it’s not 100% profit. The “profit” you get is from your time spent farming materials. You can sell materials for gold directly without crafting and in many cases you get more gold from just selling the materials than crafting.
I’ve got 950 cogs, at most I can make 3 mini toys from them, still 200 leftover. I see the coin value of the cogs, but can’t sell them to merchants? I haven’t tried yet, need to go check it.
There are actually 3 Master Mining Picks (same for axe and sickle) from the story mission reward. The first 1 you get is the same as steel pick, the 2nd is the same as mithril pick, the last one is the same as Orichalcum pick. You have to remember which is which when you get it, otherwise you have to test it out.
p.s. You can actually select a different tool when you get those rewards, so it’s easier to remember. For example, you get a sickle first, then axe, then pick, you know the sickle is steel, axe is mithril, and pick is orichalcum. And the most beneficial tool of these 3 is the sickle, because they all have 125 uses, but from merchant you get 50 uses sickles and 100 uses axes or picks for the same price.
If you mean specifically Vial of Blood (tier 3 blood), then buying from TP is a good option, they are cheap. 75-80 zone drop tier 5, 6 blood. 35-45 zone drop tier 3 blood mostly.
I have 2 master mining picks, one can mine up to gold ore, the other can mine up to mithril. So most likely it depends at what level you acquire those tools.
I just want everyone stop talking about superior coverage of JQ server. It’s not fact. The fact that JQ had outmanned buff in EB map this afternoon proves that. And no queue on any of the map.
The reason of JQ’s recent success is a group of dedicated WvW players and guilds from JQ sacrificing a lot of their own time, life to achieve the goal we always have, to be the best at WvW.
A lot of the leaders from JQ took the day off after taking a pretty significant lead. That’s what I observed in game, the usual commanders were non-existent since last night.
And for whatever reason, SBI came out swinging in full force during their supposed weakest time (EU prime time? as someone concluded).
This makes the match even more exciting now. Thank you SBI for the last push to make the last day of the match meaningful. We will see how the match ends.
Well I am not sure whose going to win. I heard HoD alliance broke up. Boring WvW for Blackgate this week
Wow, you are too late for the news, TA broke up 3 weeks ago, and the current match is almost over. No idea what this post is all about. Full of non-sense.
Because of free transfers, the server population is in constant fluctuation, so there’s no such server. Some say Blackgate, but I can tell you during the first few weeks, when they constantly losing to HoD, most of their players lost their morale and totally gave up and some transferred to other servers. Some say SBI, didn’t you see how badly they lost last week? And the word was that their players just gave up that match because of HoD’s non-existent and it’s not a fair match 1v1 against JQ’s 24/7 coverage.
Artificing craft is a real pain to level through with the 4 log requirement. They need to return to 3 for us poor – read broke – Artificers. Soft wood logs are very over priced in TP.
This is why you level artificing with potions and stones instead of gear
Yeah, you can level artificing up to 390 without ever using any wood logs.
Just learn 2 from each alts, why is that so hard? You have 5 character slots, and 4 characters can learn all 8 without having to change and pay 40 silver fee ever. Please stop complaining such trivial things. There are many other bigger problems and bugs in this game that should be solved.
I don’t see a reason for Gossamer (and all other fabrics) to not be something you gather like everything else. It’s the only White crafting material you cannot gather. Apparently Tyria forgot how to grow fabric materials and have been forced in to just recycling what they’ve got.
You forgot hardened leather section, which cannot be gathered either, although it’s cheap at TP. The four basic crafting materials, 2 of them (ore and wood logs) can be gathered from nodes as well as salvage and loot, the other 2 (cloth scrap and leather section) can only be salvaged or got from loot.
The formula is very simple. There’s 15% transaction fee and it’s both ways whether you buy gold with gems or buy gems with gold. It’s different from TP where only sellers pay 15% tax. So there’s about 30% defference between gem-gold and gold-gem exchange rate. For example, if the gem-gold trade line is 50 silver coins/100 gems, minus 15% transaction fee, 50 silver coins only net you 85 gems, and 100 gems net you 42.5 silver coins.
The inflation of the exchange rate is natural because more and more players get to level 80 and make more coins. And some players buy gold from gold sellers and the price is much cheaper than gem-gold exchange. With more players buying gems with gold either farmed by themselves or bought from gold sellers, the exchange rate will go up naturally until it’s close to the gold seller’s rate.
I don’t know why so many people complaining jumping puzzle in WvW. It’s supposed to be that way, fight your way up or give up and come back later, simple as that.
Some weird bug prevented me from editing last post (can’t see the edit, reply icons). Looking the current score again, Blackgate is winning big in tier 3, so they will move up to tier 2 most likely. So next week tier 2 will likely be IoJ vs Blackgate vs (CD or ET depending on their final score). I know it’s still early in this week’s match up, but I’m really bored playing WvW this week.
Can IoJ get enough points to move up to tier 1 next week?
Checking the current ratings of IoJ and HoD (300 difference), looks like there’s no way IoJ can take over HoD after this week. So top tier match up will be stuck with JQ vs SBI vs HoD for next week. Tier 2 match will most lilkely be the same 3 as well. It’s boring and painful to see HoD and ET going down slowing the next couple of weeks.
Most of these bandwagoners queue for EB mostly. That’s why I saw so many new names and unorganized plays in EB the last couple of days from JQ. Most of JQ’s original organized guilds, groups, commanders are in borderland maps and they are carrying JQ’s most ppt. EB is balanced with each server holding own territory most of the time.
This is wild. 5 servers ganging up on one? Are you kidding me? Have you seen how many complain now for 2v1? No server can stand a true 2v1, how can you imagine 3, 4, or 5v1?
The Burial Mounds map is kind of 3 pairs of 1v1 iirc. Usually a team eliminates the team closest to its base, and the match bacomes 1v1v1.
