Hesione.9412 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 You need professions, at specific levels to do this. Here is some information about turning logs into planks: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Plank Using green wood as the example, you can see the professions that can refine the logs into planks: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Green_Wood_Plank For bloodstone dust, that has quite specific uses. Same with dragonite ore and empyreal fragments. Here is an example of where bloodstone dust can be used, and also the ingame tools that can convert the dust randomly into other items: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Pile_of_Bloodstone_Dust Edited to add: you can sell materials such as logs on the trading post. That can give you an in-game income. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have way too much high level wood but not the basic ones There are loads of guides on crafting that'll show you the cheapest way to get to 500. You can store mats in the bank and alt characters. When you craft it will pull from the bank tabs first then crafting storage. Materials are easy to get in the game. You can farm or do the more profitable metas for salvage materials. There are also eaters you earn or craft to consume some excess account bound mats like bloodstone dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These come from achievements and there are multiple for bloodstone, empyrael and dragonite (none for oil or auric dust) Crafters will be able to just convert bloodstone etc into bricks or other items Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometime ago I did with bloodstone dust, it depends a bit on what you are doing, but usually at least one of those 3 mats floods you faster than you can use it. What I really hate are the whoops of joy of my chars when I get them :# I always think: why I am cursed to lead such stupid chars when they do.

It's permant, and therefore soon cheaper than a monthly subscription fee. It’s 70 not 100 to buy the remaining 7 extensions. You could also see it as: for just 10$ you can double your current capacity :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't tell you how much bloodstone dust I've tossed. Bloodstone dust is easy to get. Princess, the Dragonite Ore eater is easy to get. Here's the wiki list of gobblers/converters.

Cuks.8241 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 The thing is if you don't intend to craft, you don't need materials so there is not reason to store them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what I was going to say. Crafting is useful in this game, but it's not a requirement and if you're not planning to craft then you don't need crafting materials and may as well sell whatever you can and delete what you can't (although I'm keep the 250 in storage, just in case). You do get slightly more gold by selling refined materials, but if you don't intend to craft it's probably not worth the trouble. Alternatively you could sell the excess materials you have now, and use the money to buy lower level materials so you can get started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skotlex.7580 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 What I do is sell on TP a stack of whatever material hits the limit. Even if you do craft, buying back from the TP is usually better than dealing with the hassle of extra materials. Though I have increased my storage capacity so that even if I sell a stack, I still have another one in reserve if needed. Items that cannot the sold... well, if they are mostly junk you don't need, then blast them away. Increasing your storage capacity is somewhat worthwhile even if you don't need the materials, if for the only reason that they allow you to play for longer periods of time before they fill up and need to be dealt with. one could alternatively place said items in shared slots so they don't go into material storage and can be disposed easier.
