Note! That karma to gold method is fast, but abysmal gold payout. A much better one for gold payout, but takes much longer (especially if you dont have portable forge or one of the lounge passes) is the heart vendor in the north west of bloodtide coast. Buying 4 of the fine crab grabbing gloves and firing them in the mystic forge is about 11s per 1000 karma, which is nearly 16x better than the lost orrian jewel boxes, but it is a time consuming method for doing so if you dont have a character with a large bag size, lounge pass or portable forge. This method converts 1M karma into ~100g, give or take 20g just due to luck. I'd only really recommend doing so if you absolutely do not need your karma. I've found its a great thing at winters day to do the orphan far mdaily, then when the event is done, put about 2-3M karma that you got from the event through the trader for some nice gold profit. Hope this helps someone
This episode was super informative. I sent this one to a friend who is just getting into GW2 for the first time and THIS is high grade content. Not only is it entertaining, but tons of valuable tips and shortcuts to be able to grab ascended gear fast. Thanks for this one MT.
31:05 Buying the +9s from the TP 😱 ouch, my soul... Just insta buy a bunch of +1s and buy the +9s from the vendor, you'd save like 2.8g (70s each) that way! Especially cause you went to the fractals lobby right after that 🤣
"I am Evon Gnashblade" in the black lion trading post search window then sort based on value. Much easier to sell the stuff worth something, and toss the rest
the strike money makers are hard for me due to the social aspect. I join only to be told my DPS is 'too low' get called a leech and then kicked. After they all wiped and I had to /gg. Scape goat gonna be scape goated. So I have to go through several squads until I get a commander that does not behave like this. I am learning what guilds to avoid in particular.
Go through the "Training" LFG and not the "Experienced" one, people are a lot friendlier there. Also make sure you've actually got a build designed for group content and aren't running around in whatever random stuff you picked up as you level.
I just started an alt account not to long ago raids were the fastest way for me to get ascended armor 2 sets stat selectable for like 100 gold first set was practically free
Mr Teapot since you still missing ASC chest do some HPs in tangled depths, one of my guildie high rolled ASC chest from hero point there 😂 with frugal fighter luck you can do the same 😅😅
Congratz on getting pink in every hole :D EDIT: haha this is from around Halloween >_< still.. by now you probably DO have it :p Imagine though if you'd have to do Drizzlewood 1000s of times to get an infusion from the mystic forge, now that would be a giga chad move
That's odd about the AR numbers, I'm running +11's on my 2nd cele FB and it shows as 0 AR. I still craft my ascended gear and weapons. I farm enough mats daily, I have stockpiles to craft them if and when I need to
Are they in your offhand weapon set? Only the active weapons actually provide their AR, requiring you to get agony on both sets or else lose some AR. Teapot already had some on his staff, so getting his Axe/Torch setup was the final step he needed for consistent AR. On a similar vein, you'll need AR on your aquabreather cause your regular helm gets unequipped in the underwater fractal.
Hey, in the video you said you're a healer but you prefer to take celestial gear with firebrand rune. From your website guide, the two meta build are condi/Quick FB in ritualist/viper or healer brand in Harrier gear with monk rune. Is there something I miss ?
In case you didn't realized the answer yet... Celestial stat is the "most" balanced stat from the entire game. It give you all stats equaly, allowing you to do EVERYTHING at the same time (not at full power). But will make you heal, deal damage (both power and dot), spread longer boons. Celestial is the BEST stat for a newcomer/returning players, cause allow them to try everything at the same time. There are Guardian build around it, called Celebrand.
@@igorpwn true, but in celebrand you cannot reach 100% boon bonus/high heal nor high condi damage (burn). I agree, it is a true versatile build, but in high level content I still prefer to specialized.
You can get the Living World / Icebrood Saga with gold. You can also upgrade to the Deluxe versions (aka getting the extra items) with gold. But you CANNOT get the expansions themselves with gold.
The reason the karma economy is so weak (read: fucked) because it's one of the main currencies that can be afk farmed. Basically imagine your regular karma gain vs someone with 10 accounts all playing ranger/engineer parked for literally all 24 hours of the day lol

I'm not that kind of gamer tbh lol, I'll pay extra to avoid messing around clicking on stuff
Really? I never did the math, I just pay the TP for +10 and be done with it
As a avid gw2 vet, i love seeing the journey you go through on this series!
I'm very happy GreekGod's cousin is making this series.
In all serious, as a returning player of 8 years, this helps me IMMENSELY 🙏
not watched greek in forever. "r u shtewpid mate?"
Now that you mention it he does seem a bit like GreekGod haha

I’m a returning player and have no one to play with.. really wanna get these fancy legendary trinkets/back pieces etc..
I am a pretty new player and i love this series

Wait Halloween event. How behind are the Yt vids compered to twitch ?
What am I missing here? How can he get to AR 99 with no Ascanded armor and weapons? Are the trinkets all infused?
Why celestial? Isnt harrier better for heal and viper better for dps?
What happened to Tequatl's Hoard that you needed to buy 2 weapons?
Converting the stats to cele is too annoying
New ep! Yey

So wait, can you GET expansion packs without money??
Yeah no dlc tho (pof hot and eod). All lw you can get with gold.
No you cannot get expansions with gold, you can get the living world dlcs with gold
You can get the Living World / Icebrood Saga with gold. You can also upgrade to the Deluxe versions (aka getting the extra items) with gold.
But you CANNOT get the expansions themselves with gold.
@@zlynnt5373 that's what I said
I haven't even done cold war once.
I have done it yesterday for the 1st time. It was really funny. Also it was my 1st strike :D

You’re so fractal tax
every time i see your bags compacted i get a small brain seizure 🙃
Watching MightyTeapot attain ascended gear was very exciting. In fact better than sex.
