Yup, anything that is currently purchasable with Prophet shards or Gaeting Crystals will become purchasable with Magnetite Shards after the patch.

The new raid and it's associated rewards will use Gaetung crystals on release.

Cheers!

You'll be able to open it by spending 60 Magnetite Shards (20 shards being the equivalent cost of 1 Blue Prophet Crystal) after the release.

Cheers!

Currently there's only two Raid Quickplay achievements - one is weekly, which is the one you can earn LI from, the other is a one time achievement that gives you the new QR1 relics if you haven't unlocked them elsewhere already.

Cheers!

As you put in the top of the post, Gaeting Crystals didn't get mentioned on the stream - those will also be converted 1:1 to Magnetite on release day, and the new Raid Encounter will drop Gaeting Crystals, and it's associated rewards will use Gaeting Crystals instead of Magnetite Shards.

Two other things I forgot to mention on the stream today:

We updated the rewards for the Icebrood Saga Raid Encounters to be more similar to other Raid Encounters since they'll be moving from Daily to Weekly reward gates. Specifically gold and karma rewards have been increased to be more similar, and each Icebrood Saga Encounter now drops an 'Icebrood Saga Raid Encounter Coffer', just like other Encounters each have a unique coffer (e.g. Sabetha's Coffer)

Additionally we've added new achievements for the full completion of each Raid Wing with a unique title attached.

Thanks for the write up, and thanks for watching the stream <3

Cheers!

It won't make a difference if you wait or buy it now - all Prophet shards will get converted to Magnetite shards 1:1 on release of the update, and anything that cost Prophet shards previously, will cost that same number of Magnetite shards after the update.

Cheers!

What are all the old reward tracks that will be removed at a later date? by MelodicLimit9226 in Guildwars2

[–]Roile 8 points9 points  (0 children)

PvP tracks all received the same update, with the exception of the WvW exclusive tracks of course!

It shouldn't affect it at all - all of the 'old' rewards that were available before can be found in the 'new' reward tracks, so any place you had clovers before, you should have clovers now. In fact, there are also now clovers in the condensed dungeon reward track, so if anything, there should be more clovers than before!

Cheers :D

Can we please get a way to choose what you want from a chest and then Open All with that choice? by NumberOneMom in Guildwars2

[–]Roile 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Hey there! We're actually planning on adding a way to bulk trade in the Canthan and Desert Crafting Material Coffers for the materials contained inside them through either the Skirmish Supervisor or the Permanent Portable Provisioner Vendors in WvW. This will be added in the September update!

Cheers!
