Guild Wars 2!

[Derjuin]

Oh hey, I totally somehow missed this thread even though I've been playing for like a month!

I play on Kaineng, mostly as my ranger. She's currently on the extremely long hunt-grind for a legendary weapon. The funny part is that, barring the upgrade to Ascended weapon status that's supposed to come sometime later, the legendary I am after (The Dreamer) is a downgrade compared to the weapon I use right now (Ghastly Shortbow of Fire). I lose precision and condition damage, and gain toughness and vitality and a comparatively less useful proc.

Though it's taken what feels like forever, I am almost...approximately 30% done with it. Progress so far:

Show

I have:
Gift of Wood
Unicorn Statue
Superior Sigil of Purity
77 Mystic Clovers (everyone in my guild hates me because I only wasted materials for 8 clovers, and got clovers from the 10 clover recipe 7 times in a row)
250 Ancient Bones
Gift of Mastery

I need:
73 Icy Runestones
250 Globs of Ecto
220 Vials of Powerful Blood
196 Powerful Venom Sacs
217 Elaborate Totems
219 Crystalline Dust
235 Vicious Fangs
196 Armored Scales
235 Vicious Claws
...and unfortunately, The Lover.

The very unfortunate part is that the rest is purely a money grind, and gambling with the Mystic Toilet-i-mean-Forge. I'm running out of ideas of where to farm for money; currently I'm running a few high level JPs (Pig Iron, Vexa's Lab, Ice Ruins, Conundrum Cubed, Skipping Stones, Under New Management and Scavenger's Chasm), doing my daily and spending the laurel on t6 crafting bags, buying Orrian Treasure Boxes with my extra karma, killing dragons (claw, shatterer and tequatl) and running AC/TA/fractals 10, 12 or 14 when I can. It still doesn't feel fast enough, given that any real amount of money I make is from exotic drops off of non-boss mobs (since Magic Find doesn't affect chests at all), which are pretty much...well, extremely rare occurrences. Despite the money grind being quite aggravating sometimes, I do have a lot of fun doing (most) jumping puzzles, especially Scavenger's Chasm.

If anyone wants to friend me, my name in game is VriskaSerket.4029.
