If you had read the article they wrote about Relics, you'd know that the core relics can be crafted and aren't accountbound, so can be traded on the TP. Expansion relics will be obtained through collections, achievements and story progression and are not tradeable. No, they will not sell overpowered versions on the gemstore because they only sell aesthetic and QoL items. If they did it would make GW2 P2W and despite what some people believe there is no P2W in this game. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why the OP is worried their favorite rune wont get turned into a relic. So the 12 from expansion was not even in anyway needed to be injected into said comment chain. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering that their whole explanation behind introduction of Relics was that some runes with cool special effects weren't used because they had bad stat mix, i'd say your approach would run counterintuitive to that. Because it would exclude those effects they supposedly wanted to preserve and make more widely useable. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the point of my post was that if the choosey chest is to be limited a database query is far better to run than a forum poll. Though the ideal scenario is all the core relics would be in the box and people have free choice of their 3. Which, from my understanding, should be the case.

It's about which rune effects will get changed to relics. As we already know, most of them won't make the cut (40 relics vs 99 runes) 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, some of those may be weak so it may be much more than 14 fully new ones. For the curious, not a list since this post is already long: surging, citadel, mad king, lyssa, resistance, ice, firebrand, nightmare, krait, sunless, altruism, leadership, centaur, brawler, herald, grenth, adventurer, air, water, flock, natures bounty, revenant, privateer, ogre, lich, golemancer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tails.9372 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Turns out the concerns were justified, the golem is gone and so are all the other rune summons. There is ofc. always a chance that they'll put them into relics later on but I wouldn't bet on it. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doupt it, seems like most runes got replaced rather than bring them across to a relic form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
