I hope that puts this all into perspective for everyone. And they don’t even have to play the game… If they close 2 of these legendary deals a week, they are doing better than you. Your average player might play 2 hours a day, that’s over a month of real time doing only this. If they make just 10 deals in the 68 in game hours and do nothing else with their time, they are coming out ahead of you. Sure you’re getting paid for it all (1200g total), but while you can only do this one at a time, they can have multiple deals running all day, everyday, without ever having to leave mistlock sanctuary. So you spend 68 hours of your life to help someone else make 125g…. And this is having knock on effects on the market driving prices of t5 up. Looking through their discord people are making multiple visible legendary deals a week, sometimes several a day. Some weapons may have a higher margin, some lower, but I think it’s a good benchmark. Over and over again, multiple times a week, all while playing the game the way they want to play. But on the low end they are going to make 125g by sitting and doing nothing. Today, using bolt as an example and factoring in the 15% tp tax, they would make 125g: 410g T6 (350g for tT5 + Crystalline + 60g for someone else’s spirit shards)ġ958g => 2449g - 15% tp tax = 125g profitīut they are selling on gw2exchange, to avoid the tax, or getting their raw materials at a lower price through trades, or market dips, so their profits are going to be higher. So how much does the buyer gain from all this? How much profit do they make?Įasy! On the low end, lets assume this person buy orders everything to send to you, and lists the legendary to sell at current sell price. Not only is it not anywhere near the most profitable way to make money in the game, it also directly benefits someone else.
Just by doing the meta train for 68 hours already puts you ahead in gold, without having to spend karma/spirit shards on top of that, and there are better farms too. Not bad right?īut a lot of that figure is being propped up by the 30 hours you are spending on the LS4 train, and if you want the currencies or volatile magic for yourself, or you instant sell anything you get, that margin goes down. Over the entire 68 hours you’ll make 8.23 per hour from the paymentģ6 of those hours are going to be in WvW or doing map completion making an additional 1g50s per hourģ0 of those hours are farming karma/spirit shards in the ls4 train, making an additional 20g per hourĢ of those hours are crafting, running about and mystic forging, so no additional gold per hourĪll in all, your average gold per hour over the 68 hours is: 17g80s per hour. This equates to about 8g23s per hour, doing boring, mindless tasks. You’ll need about 30 hours, or 10 meta trains to get the remainderįor your 68 hours of time, you are going to receive 560g as payment for hosting the legendary. Thats going to take you 3 hours, net you 20g per hour, 9 spirit shards an hour, and 54k karma an hour. Lets use LS4 train as an example., since the guild running this is heavily pushing people to do it.
Using the recent map benchmarks spreadsheet posted we can work out karma and spirit shards per hour along with the gold. Getting 500 dungeon tokens you need to complete 5 dungeon explorable paths, as long as they are all different, On average each path will take 20 minutes, so a further 1h40Ĭonverting the t5 mats to t6, buying legendary components, crafting it all together, doing clovers etc is a further 2 hoursĭoing all that will net you a fair few spirit shards and some obsidian shards.
Pixelstick spirit shards plus#
But starting at nothing (because we’re talking about making gold here), and being conservative on how long things take, it’ll take around 68 hours to get everything on that list:Ī map completion will take you about 26 hours (25 zones taking an hour each, plus 5 cities for an extra hour).Īt max participation and no boosts you need 103 reward ticks to get a gift of battle, which is a further 8.5 hours of time There are multiple ways to get these and a lot of it can be done at the same time.
They want you to sell your spirit shards and gift of exploration to them, in the form of t5-t6 material promotions, and in the form of hosting legendaries. To summarize the video, they are trying to get you to sell your time to them, so they can profit from it in a big way.
