Oh, interesting. It’s been quite as while since I’ve done silverwaste chests. Maybe I should head back there again. I’ve forever been one boss shy of the four for the achievement, too. Maybe I could finally catch it while getting my obsidian stockpile built. Link to post Share on other sites
AgentMoore.9453 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Yes to this. Also, if we got a gobbler for eternal ice shards called the Cold Turkey, I wouldn't be opposed. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites

There are a lot if you do WvW. I'd say that probably where most of the Obsidian Shards I've got/use have come from. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Ashen.2907 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 (edited) Yeah, I am sitting on something like 26 stacks right now. Love to have some way to get some use from them. Edited January 13 by Ashen.2907 Link to post Share on other sites
Blood Red Arachnid.2493 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I've been using my spare obsidian to craft Fulgurite, which can then be crafted into Jeweled Patches or Plated Dowels. It's a decent obsidian to gold conversion, albeit inconsistent due to requiring the HoT map currencies. 3 hours ago, AgentMoore.9453 said: Yes to this.

You can convert these into LWS4 mats with karma, which can then be changed into volatile magic. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Galmac.4680 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Nice idea, I destroyed several stacks of these shards so far (and still have over 2000 in my bank and on a bank char) Link to post Share on other sites

I have two or three bags full of these, and I was talking to one of the whales who pays people for the thing from gift of exploration so they can make heaps and heaps of Legendaries. They said that Obsidian Shards are a bottleneck. Link to post Share on other sites
Boh.4568 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Since I regularly do the HoT metas for infusion/amalgamated/daily stuff I have way more HoT ascended materials than obsidian shards, so in the end obsidian is actually my bottleneck for crafting fulgurite for jeweled stuff which is 12-15g a piece. If you dedicate a weekend to some HoT meta powerfarming I'm sure you can eat a good chunk of your obsidian stacks and make a lot of gold in the process, assuming you regularly craft your daily ascended silk/leather/wood/mithril.

Lan Deathrider.5910 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Silverwastes and WvW reward Tracks for the Obsidian Stacks HoT for map currencies Make Fulgurite Make Jeweled dowels and patches Profit. Or make clovers and then Legendaries. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DarcShriek.5829 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I already have an obisidian gobbler, it's called the legendary armory. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Also, if we got a gobbler for eternal ice shards called the Cold Turkey, I wouldn't be opposed. You are probably already aware of this, but on the off chance you aren't, I take shards and trade them in for Mistborn Motes and then consume those for Volatile Magic, which in turn I use to buy Trophy Supply Crates for the mats. It's a little cumbersome but since I DO make the odd legendary, this works for me. **EDIT** Dang it, I really do know better than to reply before reading the rest of the posts. Ninja'd by Darc by a mere 4 hours. Edited January 14 by Moira Shalaar.5620 update based previous comment Link to post Share on other sites

In general, I reserve around 600k karma in the event I might need to, though I usually have too many Obsidian Shards since I usually don't make many legendaries. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ley-Energy_Matter_Converter Also this can help.

Thanks! I have bought with karma, but I’m always wary of draining my karma reserves too much since it buys such a wide variety of things that I have a hard time tracking what I’ll need it for next. This is the first year I intentionally farmed orphan presents, so I’m back up to 2.5M karma, which makes it a decent option again. I just recently started using my energy matter converter, which sat unused in my inventory for quite a while because I didn’t quite get its usefulness. I’ve just gotten into the habit of checking for bags of obsidian in it when I log in now. I’m actually running low on aurilium and crystals now because of it and not having done those maps in a while. I’ve also done chest runs in Bjora to get Ice Shards to convert to Volatile Magic to buy Obsidian. All of these things in the past were “oh, I need more obsidian for crafting this gear” moments, though. I did them reactively so I never ended up with a stockpile. Link to post Share on other sites

I'd LOVE a Hatched Chili gobbler, I'd consider calling it something along the lines of Back Burner or Afterburn. Not nearly as appropriate as Cold Turkey for the ice shards but its the best I can do atm. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Well, that's why I brought up 525k karma. That's enough shards (250) for a legendary but I guess you could keep it at 1.05 million if you're aggressively pursuing them.

I was pretty low on karma until recently due to buying other things, but that’s totally doable now. Link to post Share on other sites
