Guild Wars 2

Well the exotics have a superior karka sigil for 10% damage and that might be handy. Also the Orichalcum picks and axe 250 stack for 33 is a steal.

3 freshly crafted exotic torches got me 140. I just want a key as I have not had a key drop in weeks. Down to 3 fine transmutation stones and 7 lion chests. Curious if this is cheaper or more expensive than just trading for gems.

The donation packaging indicates you can donate planks and ingots, put placing either one in with the package shows I don’t have anything else to complete the recipe. Anyone figure out how to donate materials like this?

Why have we heard ZERO response on this obvious problem? Playing my necro, it doesn’t really bother me as I can pretty much feed continuously, but for my poor engineer there are areas that I just can’t get through.

I wouldn’t mind an area here and there that is THICK with enemies as long as I can work my way through them but they popup so fast I am surrounded almost instantly by the time I kill a handful off.

I understand we are sharing these areas which makes for great cooperation, and we don’t want to walk through a wasteland because someone just passed through, but if I am STILL STANDING THERE, mobs should not respawn within some kind of radius.

When there is no fallback zone, you can’t kite or pause to regroup at all, let alone say process your inventory because you have been on a forced killing spree for such a long time. Exploration also sucks because you never have a chance to look around.

I have the same problem. I could have crafted 3 stacks with three players, but it SAID it was account bound, so now I have 750 salvage kits for ONE player and the other two are out in the cold having to buy master kits. PLEASE FIX THIS.

I spent most of my day yesterday killing Risen. Got plenty of bones, a fair amount Ancient. Only got a handful of Rare’s, and got only ONE rune, and NO ecto from my Master salvaging. I also Master salvaged four older lower level items to try and get runes and sigils, and did not get even one. Very bad luck yesterday, felt like I was using crude salvage instead of Master.

Seems an awful lot like farming to me since it takes 5 ecto for one inscription. I worked most of the day and didn’t get even one. I don’t mind that it’s harder to craft exotics, but RNG to get rare drops combined with another layer of RNG to get ecto’s is just plain lame.

I considered buying some transformation stones directly as well, but again the cost was just to high. Storage slots are worth the cost, but it takes so many stones to keep the skins you like on armor and weapons, I don’t think it’s worth it. I just wish there was some way to learn to craft the skins you acquire, but that’s for a different forum I guess.

My character(s) are up finally up in the higher areas, and I am getting Black Lion Chests at a crazy rate, but I have not seen one single key drop since before the Halloween event. I might consider buying some, but the price is ridiculous considering almost everything in them is just bank filler.

I would like some transmutation stones (now I need the blue ones) and the precious few I have are running out.

Have they nerfed the drop rates to prop up sales?

Well if they wanted to be consistent AND sell more trader express, they could prevent both ways.

If they are trying to ‘sell’ convenience I could see the value of a merchant/banker/trader if your crew is deep in the ‘jungle’ and needs to process their inventory.

They make us pay to jump around but it only costs us copper, not $, why not provide another copper sink to sell, or buy from the trader.

By mail I am referring to the way they implemented the Mad King History books. On completion of the quest, they mailed you the item. Solves the storage full issue also.

The 5% up front is to prevent bogus sale attempts.

I am asking for an optional x% delivery charge, or just integration with the crafting station.

I don’t want a whole delivery session, just a mail like other things are delivered in the game. Some small percentage of the order price would be fair and make them plenty of money.

I am sure this question must have been asked before, but I searched on mail and didn’t find anything.

Anyway, I almost never sell things in the market, I just buy materials for crafting, and I don’t see why those purchased items can’t be mailed to me. I would gladly pay a delivery fee instead of constantly having to run back and forth from the crafting station to the trading company. Maybe that fee needs to be distance based so if your way out in the wilderness needing supplies, that costs extra, maybe a LOT extra.

I love using the crafting stations in Sparkfly Fen, but I often need to have another character parked at a trading station to drop newly purchased items in the bank. Lots of time spent logging in and out and load on the servers to do so.

Adding the bank tab to the crafting station was WONDERFUL, why didn’t they go the extra step and incorporate the trading post as well?

Why are you allowed to solve inventory problems in the field by selling to the market, but you cannot buy needed items in the same way? Quests/NPCs can mail you stuff, why can’t the trading company???

It seems to me that ANet has succeeded in making us look like lemmings. All running for that cliff that we think we won’t fall off of THIS time. Stand in line and wait to do it again.

The tower explosion forces everyone into a bunch for the hardest early part of the puzzle. Wouldn’t know about the rest because I can’t get by those first few tactical jumps. Getting to that part is much easier.

I don’t know if I am skilled enough to do the tower, but I probably won’t get the chance to find out since spending most of my time waiting to get frustrated at all of the players blocking my view of the jumps is just not worth it to me.

The hardest JP in the game should be something you can do if given the chance to practice, but when you can’t see you can’t learn. What was their intent with the intentional grouping?

Number one problem, take off the multi-player. You can’t learn it if you can’t concentrate on your character.

The clock tower is complete BS. The jumping/timing has got to be the toughest in the game. I think given enough practice I might be able to get it, but not with the mob distraction element.

What the F are they thinking? This puzzle is insane difficult already, and all those other players jumping around at the same time makes it IMPOSSIBLE for me to track what my character is doing, let alone see where to jump.

I am not complete yet, but I have managed to get all the Vistas and Jumping Puzzles so far, although I have spent HOURS and much frustration and grief on a few of them. At least with most if them you have a chance to get your bearings, but with this you might as well be doing the whole thing in the dark. Total FAIL ANet.

BUGGED. Cant finish the map. Missing Pirate.

I figured out that somehow Ebonhawke/Fields of Ruin is bugged as two characters could NOT represent while in that area, but if they took the portal to Divinitys Reach they could.

I accidentally stood down while fighting, now I can’t represent again.

Please fix this as I would like to follow a thread without having to keep a window open or bookmark it.

I don’t believe crafting was added to make money, nor should that be a requirement of the crafting system. The whole point of the game is to have fun, and crafting is fun as it’s not a simple system, and getting the materials is a challenge all to itself. I don’t want that challenge raised to the point where it takes excessive farming, then it won’t be fun, but it may then be profitable.

What could ruin crafting for me is the lack of decent skins. You would think a craftsman would be able to have some control over what his product looks like. I am only at tier 2 so far, and already I have had to transmute my crafted armor to keep the looks of tier 1 as I could not stand to wear it.

I don’t like the idea that I may have to spend real money to be able to craft armor that looks cool. I see that a few Karma vendors sell armor recipes. Maybe they can have really nice skin recipes for a high (but not ridiculous) cost.

Since I am still not very far along, I am not sure what that fourth slot was for, but I was hoping it was an ingredient that would modify the skin.

Can special skins only be crafted (via discovery) at max crafting level?

I see that Karma vendors sell recipes but since they are soul bound my attempt to use one failed and I have not gotten to try one yet. Are they just custom skins or do they also get some special attributes?

Thanks for any info.

I am not sure I am following this correctly. I was under the impression that trophy items that the vendors bulk buy as “Junk” are of no use in crafting, or anything else for that matter so I always sell them.

I have not discovered how to “re-skin” a crafted item other than transmutation stones, are there items that will go in that fourth unused slot in discovery?

Chest padding + Chest panel + Insignia gives you the try crafting this, can a fourth item be added? I never get anything else to even show up in discovery, but I have not tried trophies because I always flush them from my inventory.

Can you give a hint without spoiling?

The northern part of Snowden drifts is really bad, as is the north water area in Caledon Forest. I saw this all over the place in the beta, the area just looks unnatural when every so many feet there is an enemy waiting for you. I don’t mind having a few areas here and there with dense enemies as long as they stay dead after you have fought your way through them but they don’t.

I find it VERY frustrating to kill off a dozen baddies only to turn around and find my rear already repopulated. If you throw in a veteran, it usually adds up to a death, because while I fight him, all of his friends I have killed just pop right back up. Add in the ridiculous density and there is no where to run because no matter which way you look it’s wall to wall baddies.

PLEASE STOP THE BUTTER! Getting fine materials was hard enough already, and with all the stupid butter and chocolate it’s even harder now to get eight of something. The loot bags used to be fantastic, now they are just butter bags.

I can see evidence that Runes can be crafted, but can a sigil only be salvaged from a drop?
Why make runes craft-able but not sigils?
