Terrorsquad.2349 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Hey everyone, I returned after 5 years break from the game. I just finished LS4 story and started doing the Skyscale unlock achievements. I'm now feeding him but will need 250 of each LS4 map currency in last chapter which, honestly, I'm struggling with. The Kralkatoric Ore is not so much of an issue since Karma hearts are quite paying off (75) but the other LS4 maps seems quite dead. I also travel around for the nodes but it's going a bit too slow as many of those nodes are RnG. Guildies mentioned something about Icebrood Saga, Bjora and Strike Missions but not with any details. Looking for those is quite confusing for me as I still need to complete Icebrood Saga and I'm at heart not really a PvE'er. Can anyone give me pointers what I need to do daily in order to get those currencies efficiently, in order? Thank you so much in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Just curious, if you don't really play PvE, for what do you need a Skyscale? Regardless, the Wiki (link above) has articles on obtaining any material in-game, as well as the current 'Return to Living World', which hands out a plethora of map currencies. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Living_World_Return 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaikHaensel.8059 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 In the Ice Brood Saga (and especially after doing strike missions) you gain eternal ice shards + karma which u can then trade into LS4 currency. that should be the easiest way to earn them https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Eternal_Ice_Shard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already bought LS4 and Icebrood Saga, Im not a person who can wait to fully play a game sadly. So I just started the story, just need to know what to do once Im done with story to collect those currencies. Someone already replied to trade those shards in, which I know but whats the efficient way, in order, to get those daily? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They mentioned verticallity in the new maps which might be useful with a Skyscale unlocked 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linken.6345 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Ice shards just pile up if you play on bjora marshes map or learn and do the strikes in eye of th north. I use mine from time to time buying ascended amulets to get the salvage from it someday hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucianDK.8615 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) OP, if you have patience, wait for LS4 to start roll in for the return achievements. If the trend continues, you would get 500 resources for each completion. Also, dont try to farm kralkaltite ore. Do the x3 hearts in istan with all your characters. Each heart vendor on complete sells 25 kralkaltite ore for karma. So with just one character you can get x75 a day from hearts alone. Super easy.

Cuks.8241 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 For eternal shards do the 2 meta events, Drakkar and Raven Shrines. Do the champions after the raven shrines. There are a bunch of chests all over the map. After you complete the metas do a round and get those chests. Certain masteries increase drops from chests. Additionally you can do bjora strikes for more shards. Buy ls4 currency with shards. Conversion is 75 shards for 10 ls4 curreny. I think you can get around 1500 shards per day (just my estimation, not sure) if you do all the above so around 200 ls4 currency. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does doing the meta only give Eternal Shards once per day or can they be done multiple times? I've done Drakkar and chest farm + strikes and landed around 800 crystals. Not sure where the others come from. Guildies also mentioned something about 1-2k a day but dont know where to get those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuks.8241 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Raven shrine/Storms of winter meta gives the most. If you got 800 from those I think my estimation should be correct since I think I get 700 - 800 from raven shrines meta. Dont forget to kill the champs after the giant boss and collect all the chest in that area (it is only available after meta). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuks.8241 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Well I could be off. But maybe it's the masteries or you are missing some of the chest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be that, indeed. I got tier 2 of all 3 essence masteries. Do you think it would differ that much on each chest? Or only on the large ones?

QuirkyDM.2351 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Another thing to mention is in Dragonfall, you can buy 5 of each currency every day from a vendor without needing to do anything. Also, while ice shards are much easier to farm, if you're sitting on a stack of prophet shards from Strike Missions, you can trade those in for LW4 currency as well. Or you can do Strike Missions for prophet crystals and ice shards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be far quicker than farming them if LS3 is anything to go by 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
