Some people have been buying charged lodestones today. 12 hours ago there was 570 or so charged lodestones for sale.
I have been farming charged lodestones from sparks for the last 3 weeks from 1-2h a day. On a normal average with 130-150 magic find gear I got around 1 charged lodestone an hour.
There is on the other hand times were im much more lucky and get more.
I have had 3 in 30 min once, but had to go due to IRL. 2 charged lodestones in 30 min occurs, and 2 pr hour happen enough to call it common.
the best luck I have had once during my 3 weeks of farming is 5 lodestones in 1h of farming. Its all rng, however, the drop rates from sparks is a lot better than CoE when you consider time spent.
The only problem with sparks in malchor and cursed shore is that you need to hold zephyr temple (dwayna). and ca 2h after captured it goes contested again since 99.9% of the time no one do the event that makes it go contested. During certain times of the day it can be very difficult to get enough ppl to do the dwayna temple chain. but doable with 3 people.
do the math and see if its worth the gamble. you may make money or you may lose badly. only you yourself can decide if the gamble is worth it.
When it comes to the drege suit/ice ele boss it comes down to your team and practice.
Your party need to coordinate so that the lava actually hit the boss. Dont blame the game because you guys suck. at lvl 2 its understandable since you havent done this boss much yet.
Besides if the boss heal a lot it means you have a chance to practice and do it right.
Thet have a large patch coming on jan 28th. cross your fingers and hope there is a fix for legendarys in that one.
Why bother with a Gathering system if players are just gonna grind money instead and then buy their ingredients?
because you need lvl 400 in a crafting skill to create legendarys and other unique weapons in the mystic forge.
Also crafting provide an alternative route to maxing your character level.
Did I mention all crating skills is pretty much obselete due to too many people have 400 in all crafting skills ? unless you want a quick level, a legendary or another unique weapon skin the crafting skills serve no purpose at this point.
Hiyo,
If you xmute a legendary for better stats, when the fix comes, will it boost THOSE stats to legendary levels and re-make its name purple? Or will it revert back to the legendary’s original stats but boosted?
Thanks,
we wount know the answer to this before they actually implement the “fix”.
If I were you I wouldnt transmute my legendary until the fix have been released. just in case.
In case you havent noticed there is something called the trading post where you can buy material you need.
you level too fast in this game to get enough materials to level any crafting skill alongside your level. And the only way to not stay in zones lower than your level gathering materials is to play trough 2-3 characters to 80. with 2-3 characters at 80 you should have been able to gather enough materials to get at least 1 crafting skill to 400. unless you rush trough the zones.
also, there is no one who force you to grind to get the materials. + your better off grinding money at lvl 80 then buy hte materials. grinding low value mats for mid level crafting isnt worth the time and effort.
yes, there is a fixed recipe for precursors.
you throw in 4 rare greatswords or 4 exotic greatswords in hte mystic forge and you will get a greatsword back. the rest is rng.
What your missing is how hte weapons look. The skin on the weapons is different and corrupted blade defenitly looks better than vakyrie pearl sabre. In fact all pearl ( which is crafted weapons) look crap compared to most other skins.
This game is easy to level up, however, the real end game is to get the armor and weapon skins so that you get a look you like and would want to spend your money on.
yes, you need to buy it and it shouldnt be possible to obtain it in any other way.
tbh you should be glad you dont get random crap rings you dont need and only take up bank space. Better to do 10-20 dailys and buy the 2 rings you want.
the only way to distinguish people from leaving a fractal would be if there was a way to detect if a person just left the party, and not disconnected from the game entirely. If he left intentionally to leave the other 4 to struggle trough the fractals he could be punished for it.
because there is no way to distinguish people from turning off their own internet or disconnecting by accident due to power loss or any other reason.
^^Like the post above me, dont blame the dungeon. Blame the players.
I say its your fault and that there is no need for changes. It clearly says soulbound, which I guess you didnt read. Or possibly read but forgot about when you deleted teh character.
@Shawn, I think other characters can take them out of storage, but can not use the items.
the ore nodes change place each time the servers update. thats why there is little to non maps of any ore nodes that is not orichalcum ore, ancient logs and omnom berry.

(edited by Black Wolf.7348)
there is a lot of threads regarding the issue you write about here. People like you forcing your way of playing a dungeon on to others.
=Skipping is allowed=
Exploiting bugs should ofc not happend but done regardless. which is something that will hopefully be fixed asap in future updates.
People who skip dont want to waste time in a dungeon. mobs with rediculous high hit points and crap loot is the main reason their skipped. As for AC Kholer he is a waste of time. yes you get a few silver from him but it takes time to kill him. Even more if you want to use the troll to kill him.
Most people who skip have also done hte dungeon a 100 times and is there only for the tokens at the end and enjoy the few silver they get on the way as a bonus. thus kholer is skipped because he takes time.
Many people only have a limited time online each day and want to do as much as possible. thus skipping, exploiting is done to ensure that the dungeon go fast.
Then there is the group you OP fit into. those who want to kill everything. If you want to kill everything you should create your own group and advertise as such. ( there is more people who want to skip than kill everything. ). that way you should get to kill everything as you want too. Skipping is the default way of playing dungeons, so its not fair that the minority who want to kill everything should dictate how a dungeon “should” be done.
Perhaps I should mention skipping is allowed by Anet…
This is not a real solution. I agree with TC fully.
It may not be an Anet solution but its the only solution at this point.
OP says that he is tierd of spamming LFG and want an interface to fix the problem. Then use the tools available. Anet may come with a dungeon tool sometime, but in the meantime there is no reason to not use the best tool available to get quick and easy dungeons.
right now I make 8.5g a day for playing 2h and it could easily be done by every single player in the game.2 weeks ago I got almost 10g a day, but prices has gone down lately. I wount specify exactly what I do since that might make the prices fall more than they have recently. 8.5g *30 = 255g. 510g for 2 months.
money isnt a problem as long as you know what to do and dont mind farming. the prices for precursors has been going up and down a little but for the most part the prices is very steady. also not unobtainable as you may think.
cant you just preview it in game ?
you can also create and use alt characters to get skill points to use in your creation of legendary.
and the fact that many people who skip also exploit bugs to get hte dungeon faster.
there is a mix of those who dont want to expliot bugs while doing a dungeon and those who as Lehova mentioned, the ones who want to force their playstyle on others that complain about skipping.
you can use this site to find a group: http://gw2lfg.com/
when you talk about level 5 etc, it seems to me your talking about Fractal of the mist dungeon in Lions arch. to play in this dungeon you first have to do level 1, then 2, 3 etc.
this is hte only dungeon with this kind of system.
there is plenty of groups doing all dungeons, including all levels of fractal.
if you have a guild you should ask your guildies to help you or join you to play dungeons. If you dont have a guild, then get one.
path 2 bugs when you rush passed the ooze and grawelings and go straight to the middle of hte orange ring.
If you either kill the ooze or run far into the room on the side of the orange ring and wait for the ooze and grawelings to go back out the door, then go to the middle. then the npc wount bug.
the path buggs because the npc go aggro on the mobs inside the room, however, im surprised few people relies that running right into the orange circle for next part to start right away cause the problem
there is a million crafting guide out there. I recommend reading them. it will save you time and money when crafting since you will be more efficient and also get a better understanding on how the crafting works.
it is not possible atm but it is a much wanted feature.
for level 80 armor you can use this site for preview:
http://www.gw2armor.com/
bank space is useful.
However, at lvl 80 you can easily make the in game gold to buy the gems with instead of real money. your choice.
All legendary gifts is to my knowledge account bound. so no, you dont need them both on 1 character. and the legendary weapon when created is also soulbound on use, which means you can give it to any character or sell it on the tp.
So first question is: This gona be fixed so legendaries keep the purple colour even after the transmut ?
Second question is: A legendary that was transmuted will get upgraded too ?
1) Not sure if Anet said they would fix this, however, in other threads like this people have said that transmuting legendary will be fixed/possible in the future. However, when or if that will be is atm pure speculation.
2) No. not unless that make transmuting legendarys possible as you asked about in the first question. However, there is no guarantee as far as I know that if it happens it will include already transmuted lengendarys.
In other words your unfortunately pretty much screwed when it comes to your legendary getting an upgrade to ascended.

at level 15 you dont need specific look on armors. you level so fast that you will out level any armor you buy in no time. at least until level 60 you should care more about the stats on the armor compared to how it looks like.
yes, you can create the gift of mastery on any character you want, and then use it to create legendary with another character.
bloodstone is as you say soulbound, but the gift is account bound.
Soulstar dont say 1500 precursor in mf. It sounds as if you dont anything about this game.
its 28 exotics and 44, 75 & 1500 rare weapons used. NOT Precursors as you say it.
If your lucky while wearing lots of magic find you might get 1 lodestone pr hour farming. if your very lucky you can get more. many people dont even get 1 lodestone pr hour farming sparks.
Also most of those who farm charged lodestones farm them for themselves to use on legendary or other weapons.
Which means its at least most of the time low supply since those who farm charged lodestones for money is not many.
farming charged lodestones is a boring and tedious task, which is why there is few who farm for money stick around for a long time. though more of those who farm for legendary stick around longer.
are you sure its all disconnects and not someone who intentionally leaves due to the party get the cliffside or any other fractal they dont like/want to do ?
because its way more dc than whats normal to encounter.
a working system doesnt mean its the best system or the only system.
for new people who did not play gw1 this system is easier to understand.
I love the armor as a whole and I wouldnt want it changed at all. I payed the 119 gold to get the armor on how it looks right now. if it were to be changed then I would feel cheated. regardless if it became better or worse looking.
so far I havent gotten this bug because I tell my party to not run into the middle right away while being chased by oze and grawelings. the npc tend to bug if it start going after the mobs. instead of going to the middle inside the ring, you should start by running to the side of it and stay there til the mobs is gone. that way it is less likely for the npc to bug.
for such high lvls the lfg site is your only option as long as you dont have a regular group your going trough the high lvls with.
Anet never intended players to kill those two bosses from the locations you mentioned. its not their fault. report it as a glitch and exploitable and they will at least do something to fix it.
your not forced to do anything. you want something else than whats easy to obtain and because it takes a while to get it and you have to do a few dungeons or such you complain.
If everything was easy to obtain everyone would have anything and everything in no time. Then they would be bored and quit playing.
the best skins is hard to obtain and is end game content that is ment to take a while to get. you can choose to do dungeons and gather money over time if you want to.
you dont have to grind, but thats what you want to do since you want to get it as fast as possible. if you take your time obtaining the tokens it will no longer be a grind.
no way to get a refund. what you have to do is get new tokens and be more careful on what you buy next time.
you bumped a month old topic to let everyone know that you and your so called competent party dont know how to do this boss ???
drege boss is very easy from level 1-9 and gets harder when you add agony to his attacks at level 10+, however, with a real competent party he is easy.
the boss wount heal if your able to keep putting lava on him. if you let the lava effect disappear its your teams fault because you got plenty of time to walk from 1 lava location to another.
you just need to learn how to fight this boss, because right now you and your party dont know how to do that.
I thought the price on charge lodestones was a bit high when they were 2.5g each, but 4.3g is just ridiculous.
I have the same problem. each time I try looking for a group some idiot think im looking for more people.
The problem starts when 3-4 people skip and hte last 1-2 persons stay to kill the mobs and get killed. then start dying when trying to skip.
the main reason people want to kill everything is because they dont have the skill or knowledge to skip.
99% of the time its not worth killing everything because the mobs have too much hp and crap loot. I dont understand why people who want to kill mobs cant relise this even if they are told so in the dungeon. or worse, kill the mobs and see the poor loot they give…..
the easiest solution is to kick anyone who dont want to skip from the party before you start the dungeon. that way they can make their own groups ( which id guess could be very hard. yay ) so they can play the way they want.
if you have problems with crafting skills, then why dont you search for a guide. there is lots and lots of them if you search on google.
