[Question] New PoF stats and Magnetite Shards

Would like to know if the new PoF stats will be available from armor purchased with the current raid currency (magnetite shards) or if new stats will be linked to a new raid currency obtainable only in the new (upcoming) raids.

If they will be locked behind new raids and new currency, then are the HoT stats going to remain exclusive from the HoT related raids?

I doubt that they will create an entirely new raid currency just because of the expansion as that feels like a lot of unnecessary work.

Since the new raids will require PoF, according to the FAQ's, we may get gear that has only core and PoF select-able stats. That is unless they found a way to differentiate between who owns HoT and who doesn't when selecting stats.

New stat combinations have been showing up on old legendaries, but not in old select-a-stat boxes... Like, you can't pick Seraphs from any of the wing 1-3 drops. I'd imagine it'll be the same, but hey, there's always the mystic forge.

Normally I would have said "Yes", but we've since learned that WvW acquisition for PoF stats will use an entirely new currency, so it's really anyone's guess at the moment.

Yes most likely there will be a new currency but I wont spend my mag shards untill I know that without a dubt
