Reward track question

[trixantea.1230]

I've already saved more than 1000 of Potions of PvP Reward and 1500 Potions of WvW Reward in my bank. I'd like to spend these potions but I don't know which reward track is the most profitable goldwise.

Probably the wintersday reward track which gives you 280 gifts which sell for ~15g or you can open them to gamble.

 

Maybe crystal desert or Istan reward track otherwise.

Also be advised that some reward tracks are not repeatable. If you wish to use a reward track that is repeatable, make sure you explicitly set the "repeat" option on the reward track before consuming your reward pots, to avoid frustrations.

If you haven't already, I would go for Verdand Brink, Auric Basin & tangled Depts first. Each give 7 mystic clovers and none repeatable.

tl;dr this year, the Halloween track was worth over 21g and the Wintersday track about 16g (before fees), with significant variation depending on when you chose to sell. The r/gw2exchange sometimes has PvP potions selling at 50s each (i.e. 40g per track).

 

If you're impatient, repeat the Wintersday track, sell all the gifts sooner rather than later. Otherwise, wait for Halloween 2019.

Hardly anyone takes the time to investigate which tracks make how much money. Those that do hardly ever publish them. Those that have published hardly ever take into account all the ways that a reward track can be monetized (e.g. ignoring the value of salvaged exotics ).

 

And any analysis always assumes you have no interest in skins, legendary/clover, various mats available in specific tracks, or other unlocks.

With that caveat, the holiday tracks are by far the simplest to convert to gold and generate the most gold, especially if you sell _on the first day of the festival_. For example, I easily sold Wintersday Gifts on Tuesday for 10s and more; today, I'm happy to get 6.11s.

 

This year, Wintersday generates 280 gifts **if** you choose the generous w-gift option at the end. At 6s/gift, that's 16.8g per track or 21s per potion. The Halloween track generates 311 ToTs. At 7s/gift, thats ~21.8g/track and about 22s/potion.

 

By comparison, some people are selling the PvP potions to guilds that need them for upgrades. The going rate seems to be 50s/potion.

Thanks for your answers. I think I have an idea about how to use them now :)
