You can apply the skin to any other item of the same type. Someone else might be able to answer better, but I THINK you get all the special auras and whatever from legendaries as well.

Actually, the level 30 version isn't part of the collection. Only the rare ones are.

Thanks, RNG.
I'm not going to mark your answer as the answer YET, in case someone else knows of a use. But, if nobody does in a day or so, then I'll so mark it.

The masterwork Priory's Historical Greatsword is obtained from the level 30 mission rewards.
But, it's not salvageable, can't be sold, and can't be used in the Mystic Forge. And, they're useless to equip once you're past level 30.
So my question is, **is there anything that can be done with them besides destroying them?**

Is it sad that I have actually said that out loud?

I wasn't able to solo it, but I might at the lower-level one (28, I think).
Thanks to all the fine suggestions!

Unfortunately, it doesn't work when you're away from computers for a while.
So, I like OP's request, but with a maximum you can "save".

Weeeell, according to the Bible, they are "one flesh", so she's him.
In the US, many states also treat them as one legal entity as well.
So, I think there's a loophole for our wives (or husbands). :)

I suspect it's because tier 5 leather is in heavier demand due to the chest you can get with it during Halloween. Naturally, that means there are fewer tier 5s to convert into tier 6s, so both prices must go up (although not in lockstep).
I strongly suspect they'll both drop off considerably after Halloween ends.

Thanks!
Do you farm it alone, or with a group?

This could be a real issue. In fact, it has a parallel in the real world: phishing schemes.
So, how does an email sender avoid the recipient possibly thinking (in real life) it's phishing?
Simple: send two emails. The first explains why, and the second includes the item. I do it several times a week in my job.
The same would help in a game world.

They already know that the sender is bogus, or they wouldn't be investigating. With the policy as stated, the worst that can happen is the money is removed twice (once by ANet and also by the player, at roughly the same time). In that case, they would return it. They bend over backwards to right wrongs that are their fault.

If it's easy for them to tell someone messed up big then. I'm glad that the issue was brought up so that the punishment was retracted especially since it may have only worked out favourably for them and any future victims because of said drama. Especially considering on one of the past examples I linked anet explicitly said the punishment was maintained on their "assumption" that rmt griefing did not exist and yet here there is an example of it. It's a shame that account never got this level of publicity on their punishment.

That may be, but we're not talking about the OLD policy. We're talking about the subject of this thread, which is the NEW policy. And that was very clear; Gaile did not need to clarify, except for the fact that people simply weren't reading it carefully enough.
But, I'm glad she did. Perhaps now people can get back to gaming instead of inventing scenarios that don't exist.

> @"Gaile Gray.6029" said:
> Here's some additional info about our [RMT policy](https://help.guildwars2.com/hc/en-us/articles/360011560933 "RMT policy"): **We do not suspend (or “ban”) accounts for receiving RMT gold or items.** We seem to have two questions about deliveries: “Will my account be banned or suspended for accepting gold or items that came from an RMT company?” and “Can someone grief me by sending me an RMT delivery, hoping that I will be suspended?” As the RMT policy states, there are several steps that our Customer Support Team may take if someone receives gold or items from an RMT company. For instance, the gold or items usually will be removed from the account. However, account suspensions are not part of the normal process for handling RMT deliveries. So the answer to both questions above is “No, that will not happen.”
>
> The RMT Policy includes tips on what to do if you receive an unexpected delivery, including simply choosing “Return to sender” for any deliveries from an unknown or unexpected source. It also explains that if you accept delivery of something that came from an RMT, the received gold or items probably will be removed from your account at some point. That could happen whether you ordered from RMT or someone else ordered and had it delivered to you. But again, the account itself is not suspended or banned.
>
> I hope that this info puts your mind at rest. We do our best to curtail RMT activities because RMT companies are the largest perpetrators of account theft around, and we want to protect our players. We built the Trading Post with the same purpose in mind: To allow sales or exchanges of gold or items in a safe environment. So please don’t buy from RMT companies and please do use the Trading Post. Taking that advice really will help everyone, player and company alike.
>
Thanks, Gaile!
I thought the policy was clear enough, but as usual, you have gone the extra mile in clarifying. My hat's off to you and the whole team.
-
The three tiers of CMEs can be had by farming levels 1-20 (vials), 21-50 (globs), and 51-100 (shards). You can also get any of the three CME types from the others via a Mystic Forge recipe.
Now, I tend to get quite a few vials and shards, but very few globs (the middle tier).
Am I better off farming levels 51-100, and converting them, or spending time farming levels 21-50 directly? (In other words, has anybody "done the math"?)

> @"Dedicant.6820" said:
> Here's two examples of people who've received punishments for this type of thing and they are years old so this may not be such an isolated incident and there could be more out there. Both people claim to have not purchased the gold or even accepted it yet were punished and called out for trying to fix the issue. Obviously it's hard to tell if they're telling the truth and they were also impacted by a flaw in the punishment system or if they are lying after getting caught. Both people claim to have never accepted the items/gold yet were punished anyway. I can't help but find it a little worrying as we have no power to defend ourselves from sanctions, black marks on our account and eventually being banned as both situations ended with that threat. "I would suggest not doing any more RMT transactions if you value your account" and "Further incidents will not result in leniency." I know I'd feel a lot better if we were assured there would be no punishment upon receiving RMT in the mail rather upon accepting the contents within.

ONLY if he accepts it. As I said above, this is very simple: contact support immediately.
-
Uh, yes, if I have a squad, I know them all. By definition, though, not because they're "friends" or anything. After all, they're in my squad.
And, I specifically used JP porting as an example of acceptable receipt of goodies. However, there are other actions, like helping someone with an event.
Any "donation" when there's not a reason is suspicious. It's highly suspicious, in fact.

Yes, we should be wary of every donation from unknown parties. What's so hard about that? How many "donations" do you receive from unknown people?
I have NEVER received one from someone I didn't know (except when I did something for someone, like porting to the end of a JP). And, I fully expect I never will. But, if I do, rest assured that support will be contacted BEFORE I accept it.
And, I fail to understand why anybody would do otherwise.

Get a mail from an unknown party containing something quite valuable? Follow the policy and report it. What's so hard to understand about that?
If you accept the gold or item from someone unknown to you, you fully deserve what you will get: suspended or worse.
Stop throwing out hypothetical situations as if they're really happening with frequency.
Gaile, **keep up the good work**. And, please pass that comment on to the others involved in making and maintaining this policy.

Yeah, they need more. And, it's not just me. Nobody PERIOD has achieved a full set of radiant (or hellfire). The game is into its 7th year, and not a single person has gotten to the level. If the gods of this game can't make it, what hope have I? Without new sources of significant AP, none.

Yup, I was right. I'm looking at two hearts, one I got yesterday and one I've never completed. Both light up when hovering over the heart symbol on the map.
[Suggestions]QoL (Quality of Life) Ideas - [Merged]
in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
Posted
Here are a few ideas I've collected over time:
1. Make 24- and 28-slot bags account bound.
2. On the drop-down for salvaging, make it checkboxes for rarity, vs. "salvage all of rarity X".
3. On the drop-down for salvaging, add an option for common items.
4. Change colors for different types of break bars.
5. Change colors (slightly) for similar objects (like up or down arrows for elevation), to better accommodate r/g and b/y color-blind people.
6. When entering crafting, minimize all tabs in the left nav pane.
7. Create a search capability for the character selection screen.
* Include checkbox for race.
* Include checkbox for profession.
* Include numerical spinners for levels or level range.
* Add a field to manually type a portion of a character's name.
* All of the above should be independently selectable.
8. Have the Mystic Forge remember your last transaction this session. Perhaps a "repeat last" button.
9. Allow the Mystic Forge to access your bank, as all crafting does now.
* If that's technically difficult, instead add an "open bank" button to the Mystic Forge screen.
10. Allow us to see how much we have banked (without being at a bank, but also without being able to withdraw).
11. Add a strong warning when you're about to use the Mystic Forge to change the stats on a piece of armor or a weapon. "You're about to lose infusions or upgrades." (as appropriate)
12. Gem store item to go to the labyrinth (during halloween, that is).
13. Break into sub-folders "Open World" (under the LFG tool) by region.
* Shiverpeaks
* Ascalon
* etc.
