Is charged quartz optional or not?


Recommended Posts

Charged quartz is used as follows:

* [skyscale Toy](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Skyscale_Toys): one, the grow lamp, requires 10 charged quartz. Self-crafted Lamp requires 7-8g worth of mats; TP value is 24-30g.

* [Pieces of Skyscale Food](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Skyscale_Care): 12 pieces required, meaning 12 more quartz. ~74s of mats each, ~8.5g total; alternatively, total TP cost is ~36g.

* [Extra-Pungent Skyscale Treats](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Skyscale_Lost): 100% optional by participating in events, climbing heights (including JPs). Or you can skip these events by consuming EPS Treats nearby. Each costs 1 charged quartz plus ~4g of mats or TP value of ~5-7g

 

Your options:

* Acquire the Skyscale without any charged quartz at all, by paying a premium of 60 gold.

* With 22 charged quartz, avoid that extra cost.

* Additionally, if you want to skip some requirements, you can spend 0 to 140 gold (the first treat is free). If you don't skip, you can earn 5 gold (after fees) by selling the 'free' treat.

the value of 12 is about 36 gold if you buy them all on the TP

 

If you have zero charged, the most you'll spend on the TP is 60 gold for the _required_ items. That includes food and the lamp, and ignores the cost of the mats that you would have spent anyhow.
