Ashantara.8731 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I have accumulated so much Unbound Magic that I no longer need, yet I am having a hard time accumulating Volatile Magic.Why don't you, ANet, introduce an NPC or item (that one needs to unlock, maybe?) which can convert UM into VM?

artemis.6781 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Don't you get a boatload while doing GH and Pala? Also, buy the karmic retribution. It's well worth it, especially if you start doing GH and Pala! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrilana.1396 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 The point of having different currencies for LW seasons and maps is to get players to do that content. With the excess UM, you can buy the magic warped bundles or packets and make gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Rephrasing @Ayrilana.1396's point into a question: @Ashantara.8731 why do you think there are separate currencies in the first place? What purpose does it serve and would making them tradeable help or hurt those goals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that I can buy Magic Warped Bundles, but I have already spent a fortune on those and have no more money to spare (and don't want to, either!).I know what the point of different currencies is, d'uh. Still, I would like to have a converter for these two, since both are related (both are "magic").@artemis.6781: I hate the LWS4E1 map (I find it super boring) and therefore experience no joy in doing those events. Thanks for the tip anyway. ;)@Illconceived Was Na.9781 said:Rephrasing @Ayrilana.1396's point into a question: @"Ashantara.8731" why do you think there are separate currencies in the first place?

It will sit in my wallet, "rotting" ;) , and that is a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrilana.1396 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 It’s “rotting” by your choice as you’re choosing not to use it. Currency only “rots” if there is no long lasting sink for it. This isn’t the case with UM. It seems like you’re letting it rot because you want to use it towards the new LS season rewards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linken.6345 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 If they do add it, I guess it would go the other way around so you could spend the new currency to get the old anything else would be against why they made it a new currency to begin with.

You should have extra coin to buy more.The fact that you don't "want" to keep buying them doesn't mean that there aren't uses for the currency.I know what the point of different currencies is, d'uh.It doesn't seem as if you do, since the point is to get people to spend time in different maps. Making them easily convertible defeats that purpose.Still, I would like to have a converter for these two, since both are related (both are "magic")."Magic" is just a word; has nothing to do with its purpose or value. One is the LS3 currency, the other for LS4; they have nothing else in common.Because the Unbound Magic currency will go to waste now (as I have nothing left I can use it on). It will sit in my wallet, "rotting" ;) , and that is a shame.You've chosen not to spend it. That's not the same as "nothing to use it on." It's worth more gold than you spend on it.

Oglaf.1074 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 But then how are they going to sell you the inevitable infinite Volatile Gathering Tools-bundle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linken.6345 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Would be nice if you could trade new lw currency for old that mean you could trade unbound magic for, crests and geodes from season 2 fixing the other thread complaint that geodes are to boring to grind to do amberite collection.Would ofcourse be something like spend 50 to get 5 tho.

HnRkLnXqZ.1870 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Hm. We get a lot of these weird requests on the forums recently. Players asking to enable stuff which was disabled on purpose and the reasons are easy to notice and understand. Could be trolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that's an unpopular opinion around these parts. However, I have no qualms about spending money/gems when I feel like Anet has earned it (which they have for now in my book).As far as earning VM though, I get a metric buttload of it doing the specimen chamber pre-event by killing waves of Inquest. I don't find it that hard to get, especially on the new map. Kill things, do events. I'm pretty much tripping over myself in ways to earn VM. o_O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voreo Sabrae.5416 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Another solution would be to make less popular maps more solo friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
