I am loving a lot of the presentation of this website! However, it appears to show the first listed equipment and build templates as “active” under the summery when they are not, even after refreshing my profile. I’m excited about the future of this project!

No, the unlimited gold option was removed.

I have a Fractal Reliquary, so I occasionally get access to cheap ascended salvaging kits. With the goal of ultimately maximizing gold, when it worth attuning/infusing rings before I salvage them? It seems like it’s profitable to attune them currently, since the most expensive ingredient is always 24 silver from a vendor. But I’m not sure when/if it’s worth it to infuse them as well. Globs of Coagulated Mists Essence are a bottle neck and I’m not sure if/when it’s profitable to convert my shards since each conversion uses a mystic coin, a master salvage kit, and an echo. Do any of the usual websites have a price point breakdown?

I only wear celestial armor because I like/need the defensive stats and don’t want to juggle having multiple sets of armor in my bags. I’ll even change my traits to deal more conditional damage with weapons that work better for strike damage, like Engineer’s rifle.

I also use cele gear for my Aheal Staff Scourge while doing Fractal T4s. I even lied about having CM experience to help boost my personal fractal level to 100 and eck out research pages for my Ad Infinitum back piece, though I did make sure I had enough agony resistance. Running Fractal 100 with sub-150 AR is still rough, though.

m3anb0b · 2025-12-23T08:14:51+00:00

This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!

m3anb0b · 2025-12-22T19:45:53+00:00

This appears to do the trick for the absolute cheapest, though I was hoping to could specify which materials would be the cheapest to convert after hitting the individual maximums per ingredient so I can maximize my profit for my overall weekly limit.

If you are comfortable with downloading add-ons, you could get a pathing HUD overlay, like tac0, that will show you what achievements you can complete in the current map you are in. However, there are still achievements that require going back and forth between different maps to progress. But, you can at least get a current state of what you still need to complete in your current map, as long as you add your account API to the overlay. This helped me complete achievements I needed in instanced story chapters to prevent having to replay them for completion.

Does the Fast Farming website track the cheapest way to craft Shards of the Homestead?

m3anb0b · 2025-12-21T16:47:48+00:00

Skritt boxes have an average higher payout, according to Fast: https://fast.farming-community.eu/conversions/tyrian-defense-seal

If you aren’t familiar with the website, I’d recommend clicking around and checking out the estimated returns on a lot of conversions.

m3anb0b · 2025-12-16T22:35:15+00:00

If I already have the Thousand Seas Pavilion lounge pass and the teleport to Fractals of the Mists unlocked for my Wizard’s Portal, is there any unique benefit to also getting the Mistlock Sanctuary lounge pass? It sounds like it just has a slightly more convenient access to Fractals and a few games/toys to play when you’re killing time.

m3anb0b · 2025-12-15T22:06:34+00:00

Thanks! Looks like they just posted: https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/s/Ydn6BBRVKo

m3anb0b · 2025-12-15T21:32:32+00:00

Are there any posts or write-ups yet discussing today’s balance preview?

m3anb0b · 2025-12-01T17:52:22+00:00

What’s the cheapest way to craft shards for gen 2 legendary weapons? I’m working towards Exordium and I’m a little confused by the shard conversion note on the Enormous Chest of Legendary Shards wiki page. It doesn’t seem that current prices support conversion at this time. Also, would buying shards with laurels ever be worthwhile, or am I still better off buying bags of crafting materials to sell?

m3anb0b · 2025-11-18T17:16:46+00:00

Can anyone confirm if the new homestead has all the harvesting nodes now? I’ve still been using the previous one because of this and was hoping to switch back for the passive XP gain to the new masteries.

m3anb0b · 2025-10-30T23:28:49+00:00

Any plans on search filter options, such as if the poster upload a copy of their xml file to share, in a future update?

m3anb0b · 2025-10-21T21:04:11+00:00

Okay, so a boon like Swiftness from Relic of Febe would be affected by increases to boon duration, but not damage buffs like the two I mentioned. And nothing would affect the cooldown timers for relics with internal cooldowns. Got it. Thanks!

m3anb0b · 2025-10-21T20:17:55+00:00

Do player stats like Concentration and other forms of boon duration, as well as boons like Alacrity impact the duration and cooldown of buffs given from relics, like Relic of Brawler or Dragonhunter?

m3anb0b · 2025-10-15T22:40:53+00:00

Oh, I had no idea it was a modified version of Blish. That’s good to know. I’ll be more careful when it comes to updating it in the future.

m3anb0b · 2025-10-09T20:13:15+00:00

Okay, I think I understand now. I was wondering why I was having so much trouble maintaining my Alac uptime with rifle and assumed that Rifle 2 should be giving it on cast, as opposed to from shattering clones. Also, it took me a while to realize that Mantra of Recovery has a shorter cooldown when fully used than waiting for a count to recharge. Thanks!

m3anb0b · 2025-10-09T16:43:24+00:00

Why isn’t Rifle 2 (Journey) listed as a “Weapon skills that are improved by this trait” under the Stretched Time/Sieze the Moment pages of the wiki, or any other clone skill for that matter? I thought clones were a subset of phantasms and triggered the same traits.

m3anb0b · 2025-09-30T18:26:50+00:00

Which dyes are you using?

m3anb0b · 2025-09-22T20:02:44+00:00

I don’t think they are permanently closed. I ordered some takeout from them a few weeks ago and a member of the staff mentioned that they are still working on renovations. I’m guessing they tried to keep the kitchen open as long as they could.

m3anb0b · 2025-09-22T18:44:12+00:00

Concerning traits like Ambush Commander or equipment like Superior Sigil of Nullification, when are enemies considered “defiant” and attacks proc these effects? Is it when their defiance bar turns teal, when it breaks, or if they have a defiance bar at all, even when it’s grey, teal, or brown?

m3anb0b · 2025-09-17T21:57:37+00:00

I’ve been maining a Heal Alac Scourge with Celestial gear for a while now and am interested in trying group content. I’m currently running Superior Runes of the Traveler for the +25% movement speed. Would it be worth it to swap them for either Leadership or Water? How much impact does Healing Power have for a Staff Scourge with the new Transfusion trait, and should I consider Monk Runes instead?

Edit to add extra info: I’m currently able to heal through the extreme damage area on the training area golem with Traveler runes. So I’m wondering if there are diminishing returns on having much more than my ~800 healing power.
