Exp is useless

[Dreadshow.9320]

Started a month ago, one character at 80 another at 76. Not useless at all.

Um..They're talking about after level 80 and after all masteries are gained. ..

Spirits shards uses are "ok" for me, but I think they could get some more uses and I definitely would like if they add bulk recipes for t6 crafting.

Also, I think the Mastery system should be more explored, it is a good system because the progression is shared account wide, but the Central Tyria and PoF masteries are lacking or are vague somehow, I just hope Anet hasn't given up in this system.

Check the wiki for a

1. (

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mystic_Forge_Attendant#Mystic_Items "https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mystic_Forge_Attendant#Mystic_Items") that you can use to craft things you might be able to sell at a win.

 

[Material promotion](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mystic_Crystal/Material_promotion_recipes "https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mystic_Crystal/Material_promotion_recipes") (changing crafting materials into those of a higher tier) for either mystic crystals of philosopher stones often offers profitable recipes (which ones depends on the current trading post values, so might need a bit of research if you want to promote stuff to sell).

 

[Eldritch scrolls](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Eldritch_Scroll "https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Eldritch_Scroll") are used to create named exotics (for sale or personal use).

 

Promoting wvw blueprints via [siege Master's/Novice's/Grandmaster's guides](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Siege_Master%27s_Guide "https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Siege_Master%27s_Guide") is another use for them.

 

Which method is most profitable for you at any given time depends on the additional resources you have in excess and the trading post value at the time, so profit may vary, but if you are determined to turn your shards into gold there will always be recipes that are profitable at the given time. Or you might find something you'd like to get for yourself (like one of the exotic weapon skins mentioned above).

This is another example of something that we get generously from the game, and then when it's no longer applicable suddenly people see it as a problem. Similar to maxing luck etc. You get the benefit, be happy. After that, it's just an irrelevancy, which is fine, because you already got the benefit. To find further uses for these things is just to extend the time it takes for you to get all possible benefits from it, at which time it will again be irrelevant.

 

Just disregard the stuff you don't need. It's for the people still levelling.

Go into WvW. I've so many Spirit Shards, I don't know what to do with them. It's crazy.

What if spirit shards converted to gems. Ten shards to one gem. IKR. Mind blown. Drop the mic.

That's actually a good idea
