Convet.2605 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 By Kormiers killer heelers which person thought that a chandelier needs the item "Lump of Beeswax" to craft it? No other candle is requiring such an item but this one does. What's my problem? Tip says "Fiona Hastings will sell it after protecting her bee hives outside of Claypool". Easy task, was doing that 10 years ago with a bronze sword at level 5. She doesn't sell the item after completion. I have a look on the wiki, the item is ONLY sold if you are on Frostfang III. I understand the titans are back and all, but do I really have to go and almost finish crafting a legendary weapon just so I can light up my dining room? 4 world bosses, 3 tasks each boss after and then craft a load of axe pieces just so I can entertain my guests by candle light? Guess we will be talking outside by my decorative lamps until this choice of item gets reconsidered. 19 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marquise.8059 Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Oh man, I feel. I am soo pissed about this. I game since the very first day of gw2 launch. I obv didnt feel the need to craft Frostfang until now. Why would I do it now? Anet, this is ridiculous. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronospere.8143 Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Probably not and this is an oversight or a bug. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The steps to unlock this item are too specific to be a just a "bug" or oversight. My guess ? Someone got a lil bit greedy thinking it would push some players to exchange some gems for a quick speedrun to get this thing done.

You remember when End of Dragons came out? In it we got the Echovald Wilds, and in there we got a mini dungeon called Valdhertz Crypts.

Valdhertz Crypts, the very same mini dungeon KNOWN to be bugged since EoD came out and to be particularly prone to bug out when more than one person is trying to do it...

All that to say it wouldn't surprise me one bit if they didn't know the wax is only sold by that NPC with the legendary collection on 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was pretty much done and insatisfied with GW2 back then. Didn't know they had similar track records. It just seems so specific to not be intended.

Arcosa.9123 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 I'd just like confirmation on whether this is intended or not, as I don't want to spend 270g unlocking Frostfang III unless ANet says I absolutely have to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pay someone who did the collection anyways to craft a chandelier for you? Might be cheaper, dunno ( haven't done the collection either besides having Frostfang, otherwise I'd sell you one).

Changer the Elder.2948 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 It's an oversight that the item was not released. Something like one of the Halloween head bags requiring a bulk item that was not available, because somebody forgot it was not available. No, they don't want you to craft an entire precursor for one chandelier. How do I know? Because even if you crafted said precursor, you are shafted out of the item and there's no way to recover it – Fiona only sells the beeswax if you are ON the Frostfang III step. If you are done with the entire collection, it won't be available. And you can't repeat that collection. I would expect either the item being made available all the time, or the requirement being changed to something that sells normally, like the Halloween bag was. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How exactly did you craft it? Fiona Hastings does not have the Lump of Beeswax available after you finish that event. And without it you can't craft the chandelier. But if you found a roundabout, pls share it with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cel.7258 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Didn't for me. I have finished Frostfang and completed the bears quest. Only thing she sold was a jar of bees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luthan.5236 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 According to the patch notes it should be fixed. Seemed already odd when I looked up the item you mentioned - and it looked like ... honey where they could have used the one they are using (according to patch notes) now - from Lowlands. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashantara.8731 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Well, now that it has been fixed, it is worth mentioning that the Chandalier does not fit anywhere in the Kodan Homestead, aesthetically and otherwise (unless you want to set all the straw and wood on fire 😅). Time they added all the standard (i.e., non-festival-related) decoration to the Homestead. Publishing this thing half-baked ain't fun for people eager to decorate. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure. I don't have the collection active (or even have Frostfang or the precursor unlocked). The bears event was actively happening when i arrived, so I completed it and then talked to her immediately afterward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right above the dinner table. I adjusted it to a smaller size and it looks perfect. Mind you, I might change the chairs. But, yeah, it does seem like the decorations were just randomly gathered from the guild & festival-related ones, with very few new Kodan pieces. They could've added the festival decos when they actually occur 😆 and create some fancy ones. Or just make all the existing Kodan decos available for crafting. Like, where's the bear mug 👀 Edited August 30 by marquise.8059 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This post has massive "Meat comes from the supermarket" vibes as you really have no idea how things are made from the unprocessed product. I will say on this, after it was fixed as wrong item put on it. The basic candle requires fiber, bone shards and molten sliver to make. No wax. The same needed for a row of candles. A square candle needs auric sliver and bone shards as does the tall candlestick. Yes candles are made from wax, I have home made some from wax and honey comb sheets personally. But in a fantasy game it isn't always so real world and would do well to realise that the issue wasn't so much the ingredient but the acquisition. It's fixed now however so it's all cool.

Convet.2605 Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 Thank you everyone for the discussion. I had a good laugh reading some replies and glad I wasn't alone.
