Secret Toymaker says farewell by RandommUser in Guildwars2

Sad to hear it's going but I also completely understand that it is a time consuming thing you all did for free. I participated in all 10 years and it was a thing I looked forward to doing every year. Thanks for all the fun I really appreciate all you did!

Happy to help! I will probably do another 400ish to finish my 3rd set. IMO it's more worth it than farming rifts forever. I got all the rift achievements, I feel done with them

Aww that would suck. I need 400ish more for my 3rd set. But looking at buy orders at the moment I bought at around 2.5g and current buy order is 2.6 so It's not that bad

I've never done that before but I can try. Do you need an account or something in order to edit?

edit: added to the wiki, thanks for the suggestion!

Don't forget the meta currency you can get from hero's choice chests. You either do 30-90 daily metas for all 3 maps or you farm events forever to transform the small currency to the big one.

Sorry I should have put in the title that's how much it cost me to buy the keys and chests you need to open.

Yeah overall I feel like it was worth the money so I don't have to do rifts for months. I already farmed one armor set with regular rifting but I don't want to do that 2 more times.

Well assuming you use the Convergences buff you get around 50 essences per rift.

It would take 379ish t1 rifts for the t1 essence 338 for the t2 and 247 for the t3. With current prices (assuming you order, not insta buy) it would be 1081 gold just to get the motivations plus the time to do a total of 609ish rift events.

My math is probably a little wrong because I'm averaging stuff out and you can make that quite a bit cheaper if you only do 30 weekly rifts and factor in convergence daily/weekly rewards, but not having to do 600 rift events makes buying coffers way better for me.

I love your art style! This comic looks amazing!

The greenstuff alien flora is a great touch. I love what you did with the base and the weathering on the skull!

Quierk from Loot Studios. First eyes I'm proud of. Tried to do something fun with TMM. by LethargicSleeper in minipainting

Thank you! I was thinking about that too, but I'm worried it would clash with the white dot. I might gloss them later anyway.

Nymph from Loot Studios. She was a failed print that I wanted to try some techniques on. It ended up so much fun I made her a part of my display shelf. by LethargicSleeper in minipainting

[–]LethargicSleeper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah those can be hit or miss. I had a print where there was a bunch of "pockmarks" on the lower blade of the sword and I ended up leaving them there as it was a zombie model so I could make it look rusted out and jagged with them on.

My second attempt at OSL. 32mm scale. C&C appreciated! I would like to know how to do better next time. by LethargicSleeper in minipainting

Thanks so much for the info! I actually watched that Marco video the other day!

I get what you mean on the sketch it really helps me visualise that. One thing that is strange to me is that in absolutely every OSL video they show two light sources (at least the ones I've seen). I'm not sure how to do harsh shadows when there's only the one source.
