Fallesafe.5932 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I recently made a celestial scourge . And I'm getting hung up on what to use for utility and food. The utility that you would normally use for a condition build (with viper's gear) gives condition damage based on a percentage of expertise. But Celestial gear has no expertise. The page on Metabatle recommends using Magnanimous Tuning Crystals with celestial gear ( https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Magnanimous_Tuning_Crystal ). But the material requirements to make them are absolutely ridiculous. I have over 6000 empyreal fragments in my bank (30 stacks). And if I used up **all** 30 stacks, I would only get 60 crystals. Not to mention the 5 fire orchid blossoms required per crystal. So there's no way I'm using those. What do you all recommend for food and utility on a celestial scourge?

Skieds.6781 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I use the toxic focusing crystal which gives basically the same increase in condi damage and it's cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X T D.6458 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 This is pretty popular: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Red_Lentil_and_Flatbread_Feast I don't think there is a single use version though, for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazyDaisy.4107 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Just a heads up, the mag crystal recipe generates 5 crystals, not just 1. So 100 emp for 5 utility foods, you'd be banking if you used all 6000 of your emp (if you had enough of the rest of the ingredients). I actually like that really recipe because it gets rid of all my emp fragments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sovereign.1093 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 can be power, condi, or healing food. wish cele had boon duration tok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylander.2103 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 You get 5 Magnanimous Tuning Crystals per 100 Fragments not 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't have any plan with your empyreal fragments, it's not that bad ( you can harvest from your home node 3 orchid per day, so also orchids won't be a problem ). 30s per 5 items is definitely good.

kurogane.9681 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 For a Celestial Scourge, I don't think you'll get the full benefit of using Magnanimous Tuning Crystals. Only use it when you're a Trailblazer/Dire Scourge since the build gives more vitality and toughness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachineManXX.9746 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Dragon%27s_Revelry_Starcake is pretty good. +45 all stats. +20% magic find +10% experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallesafe.5932 Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 Awesome info!! Thanks everyone for the suggestions. And I didn't realize the recipe yielded 5 crystals. That's a lot better, but still doesn't make me want to give up my precious... err, my fragments. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirnale.5914 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I use https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Plate_of_Fire_Flank_Steak with both Power and Condi dmg. Utility I go for power, because I use dual well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shagaliscious.6281 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 If you are running transfusion on your cele scourge, I'd go with sharpening skulls. It's a utility from Halloween event, and is very cheap. It doesn't look like a good choice at first glance, until you read what it actually does. "Reviving an ally grants Feline Fury to both you and your revived ally. Feline Fury increases power, precision, toughness, vitality, healing power, ferocity, and Condition Damage by 75 for 60 seconds." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
