Ashantara.8731 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I have almost 20 stacks of Exotic Luck stored in my bank, and there is plenty more to come this Halloween! :/Could you PLEASE introduce a vendor who trades for Essences of Luck, or a Converter (e.g., via Gem Store) that consumes Luck for something (more or less) useful? My bank is about to explode. :cry:.(P.S. I know this has already been requested multiple times, but it's become a huge issue for me personally as of late.)

Handsel.2891 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 A 'Luck Gobbler' might be a good idea, since after you max out your Magic Find, there is little use for luck.For now, as a suggestion, you might want to look into selling them to guilds. Certain upgrades require Essences of Luck, one in particular needs more than three stacks of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasimir.6239 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 You're probably aware of the existing uses, but just in case: you can check the wiki page on essence of luck as well as the pages for the individual rarities (via the linked page) for a list of all currently known uses, includingdonating (or selling) them to guilds for guild upgrades (exotic essences) or decorations (fine through exotic rarity)donating them to Drooburt's ghost during lunar new year (for a bit of coin)transforming and upgrading lunar new year backpacksa variety of one-time uses (Mawdrey, account-bound minis)Personally I suspect that if ANet ever introduces more sinks for luck, it'll be in line with the above (as in: no or at least next-to-no personal gain beyond fluff), since having maxed out magic find already is a significant boost in loot rarity compared to the players that are still leveling theirs, and any "personal gain" use (loot of buffs) will simply skew the wealth distribution even more, which is something ANet usually tries to avoid.

So a quicker solution would be preferable, else I will have to start deleting stacks. :/@MikeG.6389 said:A 'Luck Gobbler' might be a good idea, since after you max out your Magic Find, there is little use for luck. :+1: For now, as a suggestion, you might want to look into selling them to guilds.

Also, I have no guild slot left, so I could not do this even if I wanted to...Please, ANet, show mercy with those of us who are facing this problem. It has been requested for years, and I don't think it would be too hard to create such an item for the Gem Store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presler.2561 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 i just keep consuming my luck as i have been doing for years, it's a habit and i will not save up for the hopes of Anet ever giving us an option to trade it in, it is a huge waste of time and bank/inventory space so might as well keep using or deleting it.Would want some item that consumed it tho.

Ashantara.8731 Posted October 19, 2019 Author Share Posted October 19, 2019 I've just transferred the stacks onto my storage character. Will wait for Wintersday to get rid of them. What a waste of resources and space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gop.8713 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Remember back when ppl used to respond to threads like this by blaming players for maxing out their luck . . ?I think the existing solution with Drooburt is fine, but they need to make it available year round and greatly improve its interface so you can dump more luck more easily . . .Since they nerfed the double-dip on unid gear mf has limited use anyway, may as well get something for what's left . . .

That would be a solution, too, of course, as suggested in my OP by "vendor". Either way, ANet, give us something, please!@Eloc Freidon.5692 said:I'm down for the Luck bar to give you something each time its filled. Maybe a Mystic Clover every 100k.I think changing the mechanic of MF so that it will keep progressing, just like the XP bar, and reward us on each level-up would be a lot harder to implement than simply providing us with a Converter or a year-round Vendor.

The drop chance of blue/yellow/green/orange gear hasn't changed, just its presentation.What did change is that for the equipment that didn't drop as unidentified gear before (so everything in core, HoT, and season 3 maps) we now get a second chance to upgrade to a higher tier, since whenever you identify the unidentified bundle there is another chance to upgrade, so if you play a lot outside of PoF maps you actually have a (slightly) higher chance for exotics now (the base chance we always had plus the chance to get them from unidentified gear).The vast majority of players that didn't (or couldn't) push their magic find to the high triple digits for identifying actually seem to be a bit better off with the change, as their chance to get a drop of higher rarity has increased.

magnusthorek.8027 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Could also allow them to be mailed to other players (not sell). There are players that could use some more luck (me, me, pick me! XD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they added a gobbler it would be limited to 5 a day like most I bet so your 60 million luck would take years to get rid of. I'm maxed. I still consume. I'm at like 400,000/400,000. Does that eventually get capped at 999,999/999,999. If so then anet just need to add extra digits and we can consume and if they raise mf cap they can just remax our mf from that total. Otherwise this is again I can't get rid of stuff that I don't need ever again so I'll complain.If you are at +400 000 / +400 000, then you already reached the cap. Your reported MF will not increase. Check again in 2-3 weeks. If you don't believe, please post on this Forum when you will reach 500 000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesacon.8735 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Being able to convert for exotic to ascended luck (200 to 500) would save me sooo much bank space and be trivial to implement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
