Mithril ingots went as high as 3s50 / 4s I saw! But I'm saving them up for my next legendary project, and I'm at work during that spike anyways (Don't let my bosses see me typing here, shhh!).

So I left to work on my skyscale treats collection. I thought that maybe it was not completing to give people who hadn't gotten to play yet some time to donate, and that it would flip after a day or two. Oh well. I made enough money from selling ingots to cover the cost of a grow lamp. Thanks, Mystic Hobo! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karnz.6708 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 That snake oil salesman got me for about 150 ingots, got 4/5 on the Achievement, I stuck around for about 45 minutes with the bar at 99% then I left the zone. I don't even think I got the 5000 Karma... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mewcifer.5198 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Does anyone know if the event happens again? I only caught the tail end of it and didn't have enough time to grab all my mithril off my other characters so I still need to buy one more donation for the achievement and title. :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJH.2879 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I donated hundreds of mithril ingots, waited around 20 mins or so to see if any of us would get anything once the bar was full.... nothing happened. =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blocki.4931 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Honestly the moment a material that is available in heaps becomes required for *anything* you need to really perk them ears up because something smells like balancing the economy :trollface: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vyrulisse.1246 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 So you had to be in Lion's Arch to get it? I donated a ton of Mithril but after an hour+ got sick of standing around... I got nothing. Great event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaralyna.3104 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 What is this event? Where did they even announce this?

My presumption was when the bar filled it was going to flip over to some other mat that needed a sink, but that is a total guess with no supporting data other than that the bar was labeled something like 'current project' which would indicate there were other projects to come . . . It has to be an ongoing thing bc there is no way they would introduce that ap and title just for the ppl who were logged in for those few hours and sry tough luck for everyone else . . .

Celldrax.2849 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Jesus, I can't believe how quickly that went. I'm probably one of the few on this side of the world who actually participated, but only because I stuffed up my sleeping. Creepy collector served a good cause though. My mithril ore and ingots were feeling pretty sad and lonely sitting in the bank. And I got a new title for throwing my possessions away. Awesome!

Bawi.9541 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Wait, so there was an unannounced scam event and now the people that got scammed are salty, and the people that didn't get online in time to be scammed are salty. lul guys pls let's do a kickstarter and pay for some QA dude for anet, no job experience required, just someone to save anet from themselves :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrolicus.3716 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 For the people who missed it: there is a new NPC in Lion's Arch, he is close to Mystic Forge, he is interested to see how Mystic Forge works. He accepts mithril lingots. You could donate your lingots if you wanted, people keep donating and donating, nothing happened. The developers literally make us donate our lingots for nothing. The event is bugged. Imagine you donated 900 of it. Nothing happens. You just wasted 900 lingots for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, that I was trying to make was that even if the event was bugged, the reward for this stage wasn't; many people got given 5k karma for donating, people who donated and left the instance got nothing. Point is that 5k karma is basically nothing compared to the amount of mithril sunk into that thing, esp if you didn't manage to complete the collection for the title.

Got a new title and 9 achievement points out of it. kinda meh but I had a pile of the things siting in my materials tab (5 stacks per type in my case) and I'll probably fill that back up in a week or two. Mithril tends to be one of the mats I'm always haveing to offload to the AH because I filled up. I would like to know what that whole thing was about though as I had to leave after it was stuck on 100% for an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point is that 5k karma is basically nothing compared to the amount of mithril sunk into that thing, esp if you didn't manage to complete the collection for the title. Yeah I don't think the reward was bugged, other than that lots of ppl didn't get it. It was pretty clear from the outset that it was just a mat sink for ap and title, but we still don't know whether it was supposed to click over to a new mat when the old one filled, or if it's supposed to flip at reset, or if he's supposed to come and go randomly over time or what . . . What makes the most sense to me is that he would be there all the time and anet could flip him to a needed sink as the bar gradually filled over time, since after the initial push the bar would fill much more slowly . . .
