Piece of Mother-of-Pearls promote to Freshwater Pearls

[phs.6089]

Dear Anet, now that we got a way to promote Azurite Crystals to Azurite Orb (those were missing for season 1 IIRC).

Can we have a way to promote Piece of Mother-of-Pearls to Freshwater Pearls please.

 

Nice job on reducing quantity of FP & ML for sigils, thanks for that.

Completely agree with this...the drop rate is still sooo low. Being able to promote Piece of Mother-of-Pearls to Freshwater Pearls is consistent with the other gems.

That would have too big of an impact to the economy I'd wager.

 

Azurite Orbs really didn't have a use before they added a recipe needing them, so it was more or less meaningless where they stood on the market. Freshwater Pearls have already an established place in the game.

How would you promote to get magumma lilies ?

Considering Freshwater Pearls are used for Minstrel stats to help survive in a wvw zerg, I wouldn't really mind if they became just a little more common. At the moment, it costs around 300g for 45 fresh pearls alone (enough for 6 armour plus 3 weapons).

 

I mean, one could spend months getting pvp/fractal/wvw armour... but I'm not sure the payoff would be worth it. I can't imagine a use for minstrels stats outside of a wvw zerg...

 

Sigil of Conc might drop as a conciquance, but support in this game has always been an expensive mess that changes gear by the balance patch.
