Can gold be converted into Mystic Clovers?

[Brycar.2651]

In a different thread someone suggested gold can be converted to mystic clovers. Is that right? I didn’t think there was any way to purchase mystic clovers. Is this like a three or four steps process I am not thinking thru?

I think there's some in Fractals.

Costs fractal relics, mystic coins, ecto and spirit shards.So you can buy mystic coins and ecto on TP with gold, then buy clovers that way.

You still need to get fractal relics and spirit shards the default way.

There's also a MF recipe.... Check the page, it's all there.

Yep, for the mystic forge recipe, the ectos and mystic coins can be purchased for gold of the TP. However, you will need spirit shards for to purchase the third item (philosopher stones if you do the one-at-at-time forging process I use). Using this method, assuming you have a reasonably large amount of spirit shards, the bottle-neck can be obsidian shards. If you do the Wintersday events then the karma needed to purchase spirit shards should tick up quickly.

Yeah, i think all the recipes, MF, Fractal and whatnot reqiure account bound items and currency in addition to gold bought ones.So, i don't think you can ever fully "convert" gold into clovers without at least doing some stuff on your own as well.

WvW is actually a great place to get clovers, obsidian and spirit shards. I've never run out of obsidian or shards so far, and i'm on my 3rd legendary armor piece right now.The only thing you won't really get in WvW are the mats.
