When calculating profit from promoting using skill points, make sure to include economic costs. For example, profit made for refining from ore to ingot should not be included as this was not directly impacted by using skill points.
Those tier 1 promotion take a lot of time. For example getting rid of 30 skill point may take like 1 hour just crafting ingots or planks.
Those are afk times though. So you can just click a button and go do dishes. I personally dont’ enjoy it as if I’m online I want to play instead of afking in town auto crafting item.
probably promoting tier1 material for skill point. But it is very very tedious.
There are also gear you can craft that use skill point. But you have to deal with undercuts that might hold your item in the TP for a long time.
and what about hard leather things? there were 0 buy orders for months and suddenly a few days ago over a 1mill 128k buy orders at the cheepest price showed up?
GW2 on sales might have something to do with it. People are buying new account so they have more storage to use.
I think Anet also made some change a few month ago to vendor value item. So that might also have something to do with it.

Well, the supply dropped from 9 to 1 in a few days, so I’d imagine that is what happened. Not entirely sure, however.
I think the class specialization have something to do with it. Some people either bought it up to flip or use it for themselve.
I don’t think the flippers matters. If the price is cheap, regular player just buy them up to use and in the end there is no supply anyway.
The rune is more annoying. I craft 3 zojja’s set for traveler, scholar and strength.
I also crafted 1 soldier set for teq. But the rune for teq is not ideal for wvw.
I even craft a zojja’s greatswrod just for volcano fractal and put sigil of incapiciation and sigil of grawl slaying.
I dont’ know if anyone is trying to flip it.
But take a look at aetherized weapon. There are probably just no supply. Some of the skins don’t even have supplies.
If you find good players they can carry you pretty easily.
I seen pug pretty much 3 man the ooze fire room. Or 2 man the last boss when 3 of us are on the ground in 2 minutes. There is also the guy who pretty much did the electric room without getting hit once.
Obviously there is also the time where group just fall apart and everyone quit before the dungeon end.
It rarely take 1.5 hours for me. Majority are about 50-70 minutes.
Most people doing fractal 38 to 50 are quite good as they do fractal often.
I play on NA server, and most people there are quite nice. I never experienced getting kick at end of the dungeon.
I do pug fractal 50,38 almost everyday. It usually take an hour.
I think all you need to do is enter the room early, so not hard to replicate it.
I probably need to communicate with my group better(I do pug). I just hate saying something, because people always get irritated when I say it.
if someone entered the room early without waiting for the npc. the fractal bugged out.
And I have a hard time telling my group that. Whenever I tell my group that, they get irritated and tell me it’s fixed.
Is it possible to fix it? It’s the 2nd time it happened to me.
What if someone have 10 and think they deserve a title too.
Maybe Anet should just make a new title Legendary collector: . Where * says how many legendary the guy have.
Is necro dps really that bad?
For some strange reason, I always have agro just by using potion and consumable.
I’m not sure but I think full toughness gear makes little difference because you only take about 30% less damage.
And most of the time you are in more danger because you kill too slowly and all your defensive skill is on cooldown.
If you want to play defensively, I think it’s better to trait or use defensively utility instead.
In my opinion all classes are very viable, except necros.
Ironically most of my pug dungeon run is faster when I play necro.
If I play good and my group is good elementalist barely save like 1 minutes every dungeon.
If I play poorly and my group is poor, necro save 3+ minutes just with the ability to not dieing and rez dead teamates.
Obviously guardian is by far the best class if your pug isn’t good with reflect and aegis.
I mostly do pug so my tier 1 is guardian/warrior.
Just because the average guardian/warrior plays better.
I personally like to play guardian for the reflect. Warrior or necro is ok too, just because it’s easier to rez dead player if you are tanky.
My hobby dungeon explorer is at 400, I’m not sure how many fractal I did but I finished tier 14 of fractal frequenter.
I have never experienced the problem before. At least on the NA server.
you can make almost 2 gold per greater ram lantern right now. But that is only if you have the lowest tier essence of luck.
you need to do high level fractal to have a good chance of drop (31-50)
You should average 1 skin every 5 day if you do both 38 and 50.
It’s really hard to complete the collection though, as you get closer to completion you get many duplicate.
@laokoko : First, time limit. Second : in 1vs1 you need 2 kills. In 2vs2 you need 4 kills. (always 2 rounds).
How do you determine who wins if no one dies. even with time limit.
A question about dueling or 2vs2.
Is it possible that a duel never end, since no one kill each other?
Or even in 2vs2, is it possible that a 2vs2 go on forever since they can’t kill each other?
I’m gonna go ahead and call total BS that you’ve done them every single day since release. I would be shocked to find a single human being that has done this.
It’s not BS. I’m also someone who has done Tequatl every single day since release (with the exception of maybe a handful of days when I was on vacation and/or didn’t play GW2).
Unlike the OP however I’ve gotten a few ascended loot boxes and 1 mini-Tequatl. It’s not a lot but then again my luck has always been really bad when it comes to luck-based games.
every single day would mean he did around 500 teq and got no ascended box.
Which is actaully quite unlucky.
I started doing teq about 3 month ago and got 1 ascended box but no hoard. Base on map chat which usually have 1 or 2 people says they got ascended/teq hoard. I would say he should average about 5 ascended box from 500 teq kill.
That being said, I think Anet increased the drop loot some time ago. So the drop rate from last year probably won’t count as heavy.
I’m not sure what level fractal you are doing. But at high level fractal, everyone is meleeing trash mobs.
And for boss fight, it’s all skills, since there is long cool down in between boss attack, so you should have time to evade. If you have problem surviving range it, else melee it. No one can answer that question but yourself.
I don’t find min/maxing to be particular important in pug. Because out of all my fractal, I have never seen any pug finish fractal 50 faster than 40 minutes. Usually it takes 50-60. And most of the time, they waste more time because they took too much risk.
1G + 10S spoon + karma + greens and yellows isn’t nothing for those ~15min
You get 2 gold per Tequatl kill, not 1 gold. There’s a second gold piece hidden inside the exotic Dragon Chest, in addition to the more easily seen one looted from the big open world chest.
I find the rewards really good for 15 minutes.
I usually go do the dishes etc when waiting for teq. So the long wait didn’t bother me.
teq is really easy so dont’ need much time organizing. Wurm on the other hand require a long time to organize.
It’s more like your friend is lucky.
A few of my guildmate get lucky and have more than one teq hoard, most of them arn’t. And they are really active on teq too.
I mean, I do teq often too, I have 207 bone spoon in my bank to show for. And I still dont’ have a teq hoard.
I play axe/warhorn longbow, since hambow seemed a bit hard to use.
I’m wondering when and what skills to use on the longbow. I hardly ever use longbow, and I’m not sure what skill/rotation I should use on it.
the room is entire clear for a few second once someone step on the plateform.
you can just tell the person to stay out first and rush to the plateform during that down time.
Is anyone from EU? Someone meant to tell me they can’t find a group by putting up a LFG and sit it for a while? (15-30 minutes)?
and about the dungeon, quite honestly, you just need a few people that know the dungeon. I just did the dungeon, and for the ooze gear part, we 3 manned it while telling other 2 people to stay out. And the last boss, 2 guys duo it super fast, while 3 of us spend almost the entire fight dead on the ground.

So are you at the NA server?
because to test this I can’t find a group theory. I just post a LFG up and group is filled in 10 minutes?
EU Server – Ring of Fire.
did you try to just open lfg make a post and keep it up for like 30 minutes?
dont’ expect it to fill fast. but might work if you are persistent.
I’m surprise no one joined, because usually at least a bunch of clueless new guys will join the dungeon not knowing what it is.
This. One group I was in had one guy insisting on having one person getting the pheromone from the plant in the corner, even though we kept telling him that a random person will get the buff every so often. That was a “fun” run.
he’s not wrong. there is a plant which gives pheromone. If the group is clueless it’s a good idea that some experienced person just grab the pheromone every time in case that random person dont’ know what to do.
So are you at the NA server?

How hard do you try to find the group.
A while ago, I used to do it everyday just through LFG. I’ll be surprised that much change in such a short time.
It’s probably your timezone. For NA server, around right now is probably the hardest time to find group. Since Australians are sleeping and NA people havn’t gotten home yet.
try to get help for it. All I did was put a lfg says “LFG **** achievement”. Most of the time someone come and we do it together.
I finished my living story achievement for episode 1-4 that way. There are still people doing them. Or just ask your guildmate.
All those achievement are “much” easier to do in a group.
Do you mean unlock as in buy a sigil and unlock it. Because you can already unlock it by paying 60 gold and buy an ascended weapon and put the skin on it.
I just felt weird I probably spend 500 gold on a variety of ascended weapon just to put different sigil in. I pretty much have 3 sets of zojja’s armor too with different rune.
I think they should add it to both ascended gear and legendaries, but don’t make it cheap. Like you can combine 2 sword and be able to switch between each.
That being said, I’ll be more than happy that sigil can be swappable by just adding it to a gear. Maybe legendaries user deserve some previllage just because they spend so much already.

I just get a princess wand. For some reason some people keep thinking it’s the immobulus.
do you mean buyable with gold, or 1000 bandit crest.
Pretty sure you’ll be done with the achievement in 10 minutes if you put a lfg says buying achievement help for 50 gold.
You can probably get it done by paying 5-10g, or just have some guildmates helping you.
here’s a quick mining route that i usually do. just copy and paste it to game

I have all class to 80. But the only 2 class I run dungeon with is guardian and necro.
The reason is for pug dungeon, the most important thing is never die or wipe while doing “ok” damage. Which is what make necro great for me.
Necro is really really tanky. Even if your group isn’t doing so well, you wont’ have a problem surviving or raising downed people while remain at high health.
im glad there are other people waiting for 500 jewelcrafting, but i think penguin is referring to the inevitable need for ingots for the gift of metal which requires a stack of both plat ingots and darksteel ingots.
ya and ascended weapon and armor too.
But I can already make 10 gold an hour just mining platinum with sprocket pick. I’m sure everyone will be mining when they can get like 20+ gold per hour.
I think because all the ore is farmable, dust, which isnt farmable, has a higher potential. Especially t4 dust, as t4 always seems to be a bottleneck and t5, as you need 5 t5 dust to transmogrify 2 crystals into orbs.
i got a bunch of t5 dust just because maybe for some reason everyone stop forging precursor and everyone start promoting t5 material to t6 for gift of fortune.
But quite honestly I hate dealing with penny items. They stock up inventory space. And you are forced to use the TP as storage and if you list your item high, those 5% listing fee is expensive.
This is why I grabbed a bunch over a year ago. With investments, you can’t wait until news breaks. Gotta take the chance and dive in super early.
Pro Tip – Platinum Ore price will triple in value in the next few months.
#spoiler
You mean 500 jewel crafting?
I think iron spike during lion’s arch invasion. It only last a few days since people can mine them. So need to sell fast before it cool off.
For 500 jewel crafting, I think silver and gold have more upside. But I think all mineral have a cap since it’s something you can farm.
As I was saying in LS chat yesterday, stories of out and out attempts to exploit people’s desires for these items backfiring on the seller make me laugh heartily. I really want the Aetherized Pistol skin, and I find it extremely amusing that those people listing them will never sell them at the price they are up for, yet removing them to try again at a lower price will lose them money.
You remind me of the the very worst stories of corporate greed. I have absolutely no sympathy. On the contrary, thank you for enlightening my day with this story of greed gone bad.
well, those people are patient enough to wait almost 2 years. I guess a couple year more wouldn’t hurt.
wish you luck if Anet re-release the item again. Which is unknown if they’ll ever do.
Quite honestly I find necro to be among the top of best class for pug. Just because it never die.
With other class, you actually need skill to carry a bunch of inexperienced player. With necro or guardian, you can have the reflect of a grand mother like me, and have no problem running through dungeon quickly with a bunch of new players.
you get the benefits of guild influence and better guild activiites too.
my last guild don’t require 100% rep, and after a while half of the guilds rep other guilds. So in the end you can only interact with half the amount of people.
There is also a need to contribute on guild influence for guild buff/mission etc.
if you have problem surviving you are better of just use hammer and spam protection and heal(writ of merciful).
learn to spam blind and aegis, get the trait which refresh virtue on kill and keep blinding, greatsword 3 is a blind, retreat is aegis, you have a virtue which is aegis, you have an elite block which refresh your virtue. focus 5 give you a few block. Just spam those.
and just my personal opinion, the 4th tree is better than 5th tree for surviving unless you need reflect. If you need group condition removal, you should probably put point in both 4th and 5th tree.
and about build, you probably should learn to adapt and change it depend on situation. and meta usually assume the players and his teamates are good players which usually isn’t the case in pug.
and about empower the problem is the durartion is pretty short. you probably loss more dps just because you are in staff, and swaping weapon does take some time.

I usually need to go 30 minutes early to ensure success.
To the people that are able to just go in 5-10 minutes before spawn. Do you play at reset time? Since for me, if I go in 5-10 minutes before it usually is a fail.
You need to do 40 or 50 to have a high chance of ascended armor drop, also skins. Also the armor chest drop in 4 flavors. See link below for the types and the drop rate done by other researcher.

will completing jumping puzzle award mastery point?
I’m really bad at jumping puzzle, and it took me like 80 minutes and 50 death just to complete the jumping puzzle for Zephyr’s Ascent achievement.
I would felt really forced to do jumping puzzle if it reward mastery points. I still have 31 jumping puzzle that I havn’t finish, and I hope I won’t be forced to finish…
I finished season 2 episode 5-8 achivement to get my luminecent armor. Thinking about doing the 1-4 episode achivement.
How hard are they?
I only able to do the later episode because I did it in party. I’m not sure I can do 1-4 now since not many people are doing them.
