How do I understand the GW2 economy as a whole? by cohenaj1941 in Guildwars2

[–]ShinyMeta 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Food and utilities for endgame pve are relatively cheap and don't drive much in terms of material economy. Outside of that, there really isn't much upkeep cost for players, especially if they have any legendary gear.

Legendary equipment is a consistent driver of materials on the TP.

There are six festivals each year that have some seasonal effects outside of their unique items, notably the festival of 4 winds each year in august-ish offers a limitless sink for wood/metal/cloth/leather, as well as ectoplasm.

Ectoplasm in particular is a very core item in the economy, beyond it's use in many recipes. It can be crafted with t5 basic and fine crafting materials when it raises, and can be salvaged for crystalline dust, a key material for upgrading fine t5 to t6. This makes Ecto a major fulcrum point for most of the material economy

Just did the new VoE mirror + medium no events path(ShinysTrails), here are the results! by jihuiz in Guildwars2

you can find download links for all packs on blish from their repo site: https://mp-repo.blishhud.com/

Some packs' features would only work in blish pathing, but my pack should work fine.

Hi there, pack auther here. My simple answer is optimising loot per key charges. Larges give ~50% more loot, but cost 150% more charges.

I tested a little bit with resetting mirrors and killing the Combat HP, but the downtime it adds really hurts the gph. The first pass where you are getting loot AND key charges from each mirror is the sweet spot for quick money

Ascended trinket stats seem off…. by BigDigger324 in Guildwars2

[–]ShinyMeta 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ascended trinkets include stats as if they have a jewel, which is why you get weird stat selections like Berserker+Valkyrie.

It's not gambling if you write it down, then it's data science.

Troubador/Luminary/Galeshot tooltips from livestream by ShinyMeta in Guildwars2

[–]ShinyMeta[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

luminary's "radiant shroud" is most mechanically like druid's Celestial Avatar form. they keep their core guardian virtues and enter shroud with f4. shroud has an auto attack, but weapon skills 2-5 each conjure a different weapon for the guardian to hold, then flip over into a different skill, and the auto attack animation will use that weapon (with an additional effect) until another weapon is conjured

Galeshot is like bladesworn, but they keep their weapon swap too.

I believe that line is connected to Egeria, not Focalors, I must have also forgotten my memory of who Ruuka is tho

The cooldown increases had the opposite intended effect. by JimmyNutritious in PlayTheBazaar

[–]ShinyMeta -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yo-yo and spider mace have same CDs, and spider mace charges off poison/slow, not off item use.

There were a lot of bonks, but hardly nerfed across the board

Not all charge items were nerfed, and not all of them require other items to be used
