What food and utility to use for Celestial Scourge?

[Fallesafe.5932]

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?

I use the toxic focusing crystal which gives basically the same increase in condi damage and it's cheaper

Perfect, thank you! I just picked up a stack.

This is pretty popular:

I don't think there is a single use version though, for some reason.

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

can be power, condi, or healing food.

You get 5 Magnanimous Tuning Crystals per 100 Fragments not 1.

This.

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.

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.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Dragon%27s_Revelry_Starcake is pretty good.

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

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.

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.
