Suggestion: ascended box exchange.

[Sister Saxifrage.7361]

Currently we get a lot more glove boxes from fractals than anything else. I used them to start ascended sets for my alts, but now I'm done with that and the gloveboxes are starting to pile up quite badly. It doesn't feel great to just salvage them.

 

Do you think we could get some kind of exchange system? Even if it wasn't equivalent - say, 1 grandmaster mark for a glovebox? It takes 3 marks to make a glove item so that would be condensing the value in exchange for some flexibility. Or maybe some integrated matrices, or ascended salvage kits? I don''t know. It would just be nice to still get some kind of value out of these once-very-exciting drops.

Yeah I have 3 bank tabs full of ascended box's that I will never open, salvaging them I lose gold since salvage tool cost 1g.

I'm sure lots of people are in the same situation with their bank tabs full of those .

I got like 3 salvage kits and a couple of 5s laying around never bought a ascended salvage kit in my life.

Are you not doing the fractal dailies?

And yes I salvage all the rings i get.

You've enjoyed a string of good RNG then. I get 2-3x more rings than kits.

We get way more ascended items drops than salvage kits/tools drops.

Salvaging rings is worth it because of the matrix but anything else you are losing gold if you buy the salvage kit.

The drop rates of the armor box types is intended, according to ANet. They want coats to drop less often than any of the others. Accordingly, it's hard to imagine that they'd provide a way to change one type into another.

Not necessarily, it just wouldn't be anywhere close to a 1:1 ratio.

I beg..... Pls game RNG don't drop any more asc box for me.. I'm so tempted to merchant them.. I hv few bank tab of it and each if my characters (I think I hv 18 or 19 characters) some with few full asc sets.. ??

Drop me celestial compass pls..

Is there not an extremely luxurious and toxic™ title exclusive to salvaging ascended equipment for a very rare drop? Also I'm not sure an exchange is the best option (if you are at the point where you can safely bank forever and/or wish you never got an ascended box, you no longer need to rely on an influx of ascended drops), but perhaps a _sink_ would work, such as what they did with augmentation.

 

This is actually not only related to Fractals but, there are plenty of items that accumulate endlessly and we _still_ have no sink for them, such as Dark Matter and the dark balls of energy
