Should ask in Players Helping Players sub-forum. Seems rather strange that you are not getting the drops because although they do not drop all the time, the drop rate is very high when you're eliginle. I assume you have Bitterfrost Frontier Hero eliginility? If not, you need to get a sentient seed.

Salvage for stabilizing matrices. If Infused rings, attuned them first. Most items are worth buying the ascended salvage tool (cost 1g each) except probably for backpack. Sometimes, it's better to just sell them to vendors. Check TP prices for the stabilizing matrices first. You can get quite a few ascended salvage kits from Fractals if you do them regularly.

You do realize that all prices on TP are controlled by the players? Any overfarming is because we, the players, chooses to engage in them. Change gold to gems and purchase items from the Gem Store and poof! your gold is gone. And a portion of the gold/gem is taken out of circulations. And what exactly do you mean by "lack of any real reward"? What sort of reward are you looking for?

1000 notes seems a lot but it really isn't unless you're new to it and is anxious to complete them in one go. The festival lasted 3 weeks and playing 1 game per day, you'd have completed them within a week. As suggested above, do it when it's a daily. By the time the festival ends, you'd probably already have the achievements. Some people find it frustrating because they're unable to follow the notes, panicked, and ended up being tossed off the platform. If that's the case, don't follow the notes. Just click and choose the notes and ignore some that are too close together. Also, a great way is to place cursor between the 4th and 5th notes so you know if they're on the left or the right side. Anyways, the festival is over. For other festivals, do them the same way. Any achievements, do them when they're on the daily rotations first.

My mistake. I have max shared and I can't count. Not enough fingers and toes so had to guess.

That immediately caught my eye. Reviews would have been more believable if you actually bought and play it. Kinda like reviewing a movie that you haven't seen. Oh the acting was horrible and the actions were so lackluster. As it is, it's nothing more than a troll thread to gain attention. I happen to like EoD, faults and all. Guess that makes me a fanboy...wait, what exactly is a fanboy?

OP is talking about shared inventory slots, which is 28. Maximum number of bag is now 12. You're thinking of the maximum bag size, which is 32 slots. Unless you're suggesting increase from 28 to 32.

Map will stay open for 1 hour even if message pops up. But often, the pop-up will disappear if more join the map. So really, no reason to switch maps unless it's actually closing. You have plenty of time to switch if it says the map is closing in 10 minutes or less. If you switch, you'll definitely lose the stacks. If you stay, there's a very high chance others will join and the map won't close after all. If you really have to switch later, you won't be any worse off. An easy fix will be enabling the Fishing Stacks to persist over map change. And you don't lose the stacks unless you logged off. And there should be a timer of maybe 5 minutes before losing the stacks if not online in case of client crashing.

Lots.. Not everyone can afford to buy the Complete Collection right away, just the Xpacs but is anxious to play. Also, for those returning players who may have bought the Xpacs but missed out on most of the Living World. Yes, you can buy them in the Gem Store for gems. But why not make it more convenient by just putting it on the Web Store for cash? Instead of having to go through the hassle of purchasing gems, waiting for delivery, searching the TP for the seasons and then buying them individually. And having to activate them separately? Make it into a nice neat bundle that you just need to purchase once and activate once to open all LW seasons. And you don't have to figure out how much gems to buy or pay extra for gems to make up the difference when you have limited funds to spend. Is there any reason to force someone to spend gems in the Gem Store if they don't care for any of the items? If they are available in the Web Store and explained clearer, there would not be threads on this that keeps cropping up. Put NO REFUNDS in bold for the LW package. Anet can charge $99.99 for Complete Collections and charged something like $54.99 for the stand-alone LW seasons. Will be cheaper to buy as a whole but the options will be there for those lacking in immediate funds.

The Garden Plots are not the most user-friendly item. When you equip a seed pouch, you'll be prompted whether to plant or remove, depending on what's currently there (growing crop or open soil). Always get close and make sure the crop/soil is highlighted before you plant any Ascended item or you may lose it if you already have one growing. Best thing before you grow a new crop is to remove all plants so they all show Open Soil, Then get close and click on one at a time to plant. If you're too far away, the game will default to a closer area such that you may plant on same spot.

Looking at the price trend for 4 of the main components (that are traded on the TP) for crafting a Gen 3 weapon: Antique SS, Jade Runestone and Chunk of Pure Jade in comparison to Ambergris. Selecting a few dates: Mar 2, April 1, July 1, Oct 1 & Jan 1. All prices are Buy Price. Mar 2's price is the high point for Summoning Stones pre-EoD meta fixes. Antique Summoning Stone: [33g 16s 18c] -- 13g 85s 04c -- 6g 90s 14c -- 5g 90s 55c -- 4g 34s 92c(13.12%) Jade Runestone: [51d 47c] -- 17s 89c -- 50s 29c -- 34s 84c -- 33s 46c(35.01%) Chunk of Pure Jade: [7s 75c] -- 3s 29c -- 3s 03c -- 3g 05 c -- 2s 77c(35.74%) Ambergris: [3g 56s 54c] -- 1g 54s 37c -- 2g 89s 02c -- 1g 81s 43c -- 1g 89s 01c(53.01%) As can be seen, Ambergris has retained the least drop in value from the initial craze. Looking at the trend, except for Pure Jade, which has no value on TP, all prices has seen fluctuations depending on the demands such as Variants releases. Ambergris' price has been the most consistent. And the Apr 1 price for Ambergris was before Levi farming was even a thing, which was lower than what it is now. Ambergris is one of the choices for the Aetherblade meta's reward chest. Not just from Legendary and Ascended, as I mentioned in an earlier comment. "They can drop from certain fish of all rarities except basic although legendary are virtually guaranteed and higher grade has better chance of dropping. Ambergris from fish: 2 types of Fine and 15 Masterworks drop them."

They can drop from certain fish of all rarities except basic although legendary are virtually guaranteed and higher grade has better chance of dropping. Ambergris from fish: 2 types of Fine and 15 Masterworks drop them. Didn't bother checking the higher grades. Have you ever tried levi farming? Using alts to look for spawns, you're still required to actively farm the leviathan. With the daily limit of 10 ambergris per account, it is less lucrative than fishing. Even if someone is willing to spend the time to use multi-accounts, the rate of getting the limit of 10 ambergris will take at least an hour, sometimes 1 1/2 hr to 2 hrs. Yes, it takes that long depending on spawns. And no, you don't have time to bring more than one character to a levi spawn because by the time you get there, it'll be dead. Usually takes 3 minutes or less to kill. Fishing helps the spawning as can be attested by lots of players who has tried the levi farming. It may be anecdotal but there certainly is a pattern as witnessed by many. When the profit in terms of gph is so low compared to fishing, why would anyone bother with abusing the system. Granted some will use alts but I truly doubt many will even bother as it's not even worth the effort. Some will just semi-afk until a spawn is called out. Most will fish to supplement the ambergris drops because of the low yield. So, why not fish instead if fishing is better for gold farming? Because for many, it is boring while farming levi can be at least a little more exciting. There's a message that says "Beware! Something dangerous has been drawn to this area due to overfishing." And from experience, it seems that fishing does help spawning. I have no concrete proof on that but as I mentioned above, many have noticed a pattern to the frequencies. If many are fishing during a fishing tournament, the chances of a spawn immediately after is very high.

Although Levi Farms may affect the prices somewhat, I truly doubt they affect it really that much. The prices have settled. Just like anything new, the initial prices will be very high. Demand was high after release as many rushed to craft the new Gen 3. The drop in prices is consistent with Pure Jade, Summoning Stones, Memory of Aurene, and other components. Although the farms are 24/7, usually it'll be busy only 1/2 the day and even then, the farming squad are usually 1/2 to 3/4 full at best. Also, there is a limit of 10 ambergris per account per day. However, they can certainly improve the fishing experience somehow. Levi farms are squads that move between Seitung and New Kaineng, depending on where the leviathan spawns. Squad members will fish and map-hop, and as soon as the Levi NPC spawn, will call out. And the rest of the squad will join that map to kill. Having a squad is fairly essential for fast killing since it requires co-ordinated depth-charges from skiffs to ger rid of its 8 stacks of thick skin (stacks regens after a few secs). Each stack will give the Levi 10% reduction in incoming damage. It can be fairly profitable as all legendary fishes are guaranteed an ambergris drop and other fish rarities also have a chance of dropping them as well. And filets can be used to purchase more ambergris. In addition, some of the junks will sell up to 1g to vendors.

Posting it here, you'll just get suggestions but apparently you are not receptive of them. Which you're not from all your comments. My suggestion was to ccontact Support, and was not questioning if you understand or not. Another defensive comment. No one question if you should like the suggestions. I'm sure most of us would all be in favor of Living World as a package for new players because it has been asked countless times. I simply asked if you dislike the suggestion. You obviously like the game or wouldn't be playing it. I certainly do not expect you to change your stance. Never did say you should and I'm sure many, including myself, feels they should offer the items as a package. Perhaps you don't think you are being defensive but it certainly came across as such. Anyways, that's not solving your problem. As I suggested, contact Support will be a better solution. Or not. So do whatever you like. I will not revisit this thread since it's leading nowhere.

Easiest is to go to any crafting station, select Wardrobe Storage>Weapon Skins and search for either Astral or Stellar. Anything you haven't crafted will be greyed out.

It's not about me or anyone else. It's about you and we're all here trying to help. Most of us anyways. But you seem to be taking advice and suggestions as if we're all against your stance and trying to argue with your opinions. Stop being so defensive and take suggestions at their face values.

It's your game and money. You can like or dislike anything you want. From your comments, my impression is that you do not like any of the suggestions or am I wrong? My understanding is that the purchase were bought from Anet, not Steam. And OP only mentioned Steam because OP assume they can buy them separately there or get a discount. If purchased from Anet, then Support here might be able to help. If not purchased from Anet, then OP can post in the QoL thread. Posting here will not solve the problem since even if implemented, it'll not be anytime soon.

What I meant was that you do not like the solutions suggested, not that you do not understand them. As I said, try contacting support and perhaps they can give you a better solution.

Sorry, a typo. Maybe try 5-5743-2. Or check out this Piano Tutorial for the song

Contact Support and explain that you would like to get the Complete Collections and explain what you had already bought. They will be able to advise you on how to proceed. Posting it here, you'll just get suggestions but apparently you are not receptive of them. Hence arguments instead of resolving the issue. This is a purchase issue, not a gameplay issue. How long it takes OP to play is completely irrelevant. ----- For us vets, we already know how it works and how to supplement any gems through exchanges. Op wants everything in a nice neat package. If OP is unwilling to accept the suggestions here, best thing is for OP to contact support since it won't get anywhere by debating.

Are you suggesting he loses some weight? 😲

You assumed if you find it boring, then it must boring for everyone else. Not everyone likes the same type of gameplay/mode or we'll all be crowded on one map in one corner. No, I do not find DRMs boring even if I'm soloing it. As I said earlier, I prefer it much more than many of the Strikes especially the easy 5. Compared to DRMs, those are incredibly boring. Just straight up Boss fights. The only saving grace for them is that they're very short fights. And why would you want to do all 12 DRMs in one go, if I'd to understand you correctly. If it's boring because it's always nearly the same, that applies to every single Raid, Fractal, Strikes, Meta, etc. And we do them repeatedly knowing exactly what to expect next.

There are lanterns on 3 of the maps that requires doing the map metas. Seitung - Aetherblade Refuge, Echovald - Aspenwood Sublevel B1 & Aspenwood Research Facility , and Dragon's End - Jade Wind's Respite . However, the one in Dragon's End can be done at any time if you max out your HP, know exactly where to go and can get to the lantern very fast, and be ready to heal yourself. Very important note: If you haven't done map completions on any of the maps, you'll not see the lanterns. Since there are PoIs at all those areas, map completions are only possible after doing the meta (meta completions not required) except for Dragon's End. The PoI for DE is easily obtained by going in fast and back out. Always leave those PoIs for last so you do not have to do the meta twice to get the lanterns. Soon as meta ends (or after getting PoIs), log onto character screen and back in immediately so you'll be placed on the same map instances. The lanterns will now be visible.

It does scales with the number of players but I do find that it is easiest to do DRMs with 2 players. That way you're able to complete all 3 tasks. You can finish all 3 tasks solo but you'll have to be extremely fast and efficient. Each task will give you +5% bonus to all stats, thus +15% with 3 tasks. Try and do with another player if possible but it can be soloed fairly easily. I did all of them solo the 1st time but later on, always have a partner to run with so we can do dailies extremely fast. Waystations can help but entirely unnecessary. Just be ready with a springer with it's cannonball before engaging the champ and your own CC for the defiance break. Honestly, I do not understand why so many dislike them. It can be fun especially if you can find a static partner and both of you knows exactly what the other is going to do. Imo, they're better than some Strikes with just straight Boss fights.
