If you don't really care about that, just buy the items you want directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Natural Disaster Tools (1000 gems each)Earthshaker Mining comes with Tailor's Glyph.Firestorm Logging comes with Industry GlyphThunderstrike Harvesting comes with Leatherworker's Glyph. Maths:Glyph of Industry runs from 300-400 gold on the trading post, which would convert to 900-1200 gems. (If you already have 1000 gems, you'd get around 225-230 gold, not enough to buy the glyph.)Leatherworker Glyph runs at ~180 gold, roughly 550 gems after converting, so not a bargain unless you specifically want both.Tailor glyph is valued around 95 gold, around 270 gems.RecommendationsFirestorm Logging is a great choice if you want the glyph, because you get the tool for at or below the cost as buying the upgrade alone on the TP.Thunderstrike Harvesting is not a bargain, unless you already want both.The Earthshaker Mining doesn't have any special financial valuation, besides looking good while breaking up rocks.(I rewrote the post entirely due to mismatch of glyphs; confirmed all the data via wiki, main GW2 page, and Dulfy.) (Do let me know via personal message if it needs another edit.)(Also thanks to @WyvrnRipsnarl.5918, whose timely correction I saw only after I finished publishing my corrections.)

Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Wedding Preparation: 1560 GemsRetail Value: 2150 gemsWedding Outfit: 1000 750 gemsName Change Contract: 800 gemsTotal Makeover Kit: 350 GemsBouquet of Roses: 250 gemsTeleport to Friend x5 (not sold separately)This is one of the best package deals the gem shop offers (as always, assuming you want everything). It's almost a good deal if you want just the outfit and the name change contract, since those alone sell separately for 1800 1550 gems.Caveat: it's theoretically possible to spend less, if you can get to the outfit via vouchers (when on sale last, they cost 630 gems or less) and the name change contract has been sold for 600 gems within the last year. Even then, 1560 gems is a good price if you also wanted the makeover kit & the bouquet. And, of course, this is theoretical: there's no guarantee if or when those discount prices will become available in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Season 1 Memory Box: Flame & Festivals: 200 gems (10 for 1500)Season 1 Memory Box: Scarlet vs LA: 200 gems (10 for 1500)The market value of these is tricky to estimate, because the values of the drops are going to drop this month (due to renewed availability of the contents), the drops rates of the high value items are low, and, well, the community is fickle about how important any of this is. Instead, here's my generic advice for RNG loot boxes:Do not buy to get a bargain on specific items or a huge windfall in selling your drops. You are better waiting a few days and buying things on the TP.Do buy only if you like the thrill of anticipation just before opening, when anything can happen (but usually, you'll just get the el cheapo drops).Sprocket Highlights! Both boxes offer the BL Commemorative Sprocket as a consolation prize (wiki says 1-5, but realistically, you need to assume 1). Like BL Statuettes, you can choose your reward. Of these, the most interesting economically are:! Decorative Molten Jetpack: 100 sprockets, currently trading at 110-230 gold, ~1.7g per token! Scarlet's Kiss: 60 sprockets, currently trading at 70-100 gold, ~1.4g per token! Southsun Remembrance Package: 25 sprockets, contains eight skins. The package itself trades at 49-68 gold, nearly 2-2.3g/token if you can sell it.! Holographic Dragon Wing Cover: 20 sprockets. Currently trading at 55-70g, ~3g/token.! Gift of Blades: 3 sprockets. Can't be traded, but if you're making the ascended spinal blades, this saves you about 3 gold per token by avoiding the expensive crafting components.! 100x Blade Shards: 1 sprocket. Likewise, if you need shards, this is cheaper than converting watchwork sprockets, saving over 3g per token.! Selfless & Thoughtless Tonics. 10 sprockets each; this is the only current source.! Gift of Ascension. 4 sprockets. Good choice if you're working on fractal titles, since it saves a chunk of relics.Flame & Festivals Memory Box Drop Highlights! Monocle: (rare drop; bound) these are currently selling at 70-100g (price will drop).! Minis (rare drops, bound): Colossus, Firestorm, Helmed Moa RacerScarlet vs LA Memory Box Drop Highlights! Southsun Beach Mini Container (rare), includes Mini Southsun Kasmeer & Mini Southsun Faren, together worth around 12 gold.! Scarlet's Veil & Rainbow (rare drops each, bound). The Rifle trades for 600-800 gold, so getting the drop is a huge savings.Data from a Mere 30 Boxes! Poster didn't mention how many of each type, although their image includes both.!

The Insta-80 and all-core-WP items alone retail for 4k total. I'd say an ideal customer for the package is someone with a friend who is a GW2 vet and wants to "catch up" (or a vet wanting to play one of their alt accounts without going through the usual steps).Infinite Unbound Magic Gathering Tools 2700 gemsIn my opinion, this is a really good option for someone's first infinite-use tool set. The animations are among the quickest of any skins available (in some contexts, the fastest; in others, 'merely' competitive in speed). The bonus unbound magic can be monetized and is useful for people buying LS3 trinkets etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
