Could really do for a keychain right about now, everything since drytop has been adding keys you got to lug around to open the chests of the area, I got to haul around 6 different types of keys now and if I want to use them on a alt I got to spend 5 minutes putting them in the bank and taking them back out then putting them back in.

Speaking of these crystals I got one the other day and just shook my head when I realised you couldn't deposit it in the bank storage tab so it's just sitting there eating space in my inventory. Glad the storage tab/wallet seems to exist solely so anet can forget about it whenever they add a new crafting material/currency.

Buy more bags today!!

The only thing that feels scummy to me about GW2 is the fact that you have to pay for bag slots and storage upgrades. The inventory bloat is insane in this game, there really don't need to be bags within bags within bags.

Incidentally if you're in both GOON and SFD you can gather from both halls and get either's crystals, so you won't be locked out of both weapons sets by more than simple time and RNG.

You say that like a streak of zero crystals mined over 6 days isn't a thing. At least I'm rolling in copper ore.

Tangled Depths has grown on me lately, especially with the bug fixes and it actually handing out rewards in the form of keys and gerent, you just need to spend a LOT of time being lost before you know where all the hero points, deadends, shortcuts and hidden chests are.

Once I got TD fully explored I really started liking it, especially once I realized that it's a hub and spoke design with the Ley Line Confluence as the hub


E: Randomly, I just got a Sorrow's Embrace weapon chest from a pvp reward track (I want Forgeman's Leggings for a getup) and the Dark Asuran weapons are really cool! I feel like a good black/red costume with the right pieces would make a really awesome Tron themed setup

Once you have Nuhoch Wallows unlocked and can memorize which direction to go at the numerous T-junctions it's not so bad, especially so if any of the waypoints are unlocked or you can utilize the underwater caverns without being eaten alive by the invisible pihranas.

A lot of it just comes from experience and knowing which tunnels can be accessed from what height and the fastest ways to get somewhere so that a large chunk of the tunnels you can avoid.

Today I learned that after you receive the message to leave a map and get some bonuses, it will force kick everyone off that map in 1 hour.

I learned that because while everyone was waiting for mordremoth's death cutscene to play, everyone instead got kicked off to a new map.

There's something oddly satisfying about setting up your own armada of snowball catapults and watching them all fire at once as soon as mobs spawn.

Aside from the vendors you unlock from Pact Commander mastery are there any new karma sinks in HoT? Or is it still a trash tier currency whose main use is to get baby's first zerker armor without spending real gold?

It's 10k per recipe/collection book, I think? Insignificant if you've played for any length of time, but something a new player (who has inexplicably decided his first and only goal is a shiny new legendary) might butt up against. In other words, no, not really.

Well the main reason I brought up karma was that I was wondering if I should just buy as many Wintersday gifts as I can each day or if I'd regret it later due to some new cool karma sink that I missed.

Tricks and I actually figured that out: ~27k karma gets you 3.3 - 4g from leather Crab-Grabbin' Gloves. The first tier of Wintersday gifts works out about even with the gloves; the second has a convenience tax; and after that the gifts are more expensive.

So it hinges on how willing you are to click a lot of buttons over and over again.

There's some medium gloves you can forge for better karma profits. 8s 24c per 1000 karma. Will probably close back up when Wintersday ends and you can't get cloth as easily, or if people finally get done with the Elonian leather sinks for their guild halls.

There's no cooldown on opening the gifts, so a simple AutoHotKey click macro will open them all in a jiffy. As an added bonus you get to see the item spam scroll up the side of your screen for several minutes.
