It hurts to watch him salvage unidenified gear.

[@NielsTaelman]

is it better to identify it first then? Or what should you do with it

[@ZombiesAteMyChannel]

@@NielsTaelman You always identify it before salvaging because then it has a chance of increasing in rarity.

[@marinhrabric6162]

​@@NielsTaelmanopen all of them and then salvage all the worthless gear. You get way more materials. Then you can keep them if you want to craft or you can sell them on the Trading Post if you don't need them

[@justinjohnson8980]

I sell them especally green I make 5-10 gold a day off of a couple of meta runs

[@Natorom]

if you plan on salvaging them you want to identify since you have a small chance to get higher tier gear out of identifying. might not be much of a chance but over time/amount identified it is worth it. Plus it doesnt cost much time and effort: just right click - use all and it will identify the whole stack automatically

[@TylerC02]

For anyone getting started with all this, I would STRONGLY recommend the Elite Jumpstart pack, it has a Copper-fed Salvage-o-Matic, a full set of basic Unbreakable Gathering Tools, a Character Slot Expansion, a Shared Inventory Slot, and an infinite Royal Terrace Pass. I realize its not the absolute best of each category, but its 5700 Gems worth of items, for 2400. You can always grab the rest as the need arises

[@LC-pp4bb]

Does it ever go on sale?

[@TylerC02]

@@LC-pp4bb Yeah, not sure when, but it was just on sale a couple weeks ago

[@f43s23]

Good Content, id have to add tho... Candy Corn Gobbler: Unlimited EXP Booster 50%(only Available on Halloween) snowflake Gobbler: Another unlimited Exp Booster 25%(eats snowflakes, available on winter event)

[@Evan4K]

Both of those are great choices too! Especially during the holiday events.

[@bastiaanzeeman3922]

And zhaitaffy gobbler, during dragon bash festival (which is now). Same functionalities.

[@Babugue]

I'd like to point out a correction in your video regarding unbreakable tools. Anet has recently made significant changes to some of the unbreakable tools. Some of them now feature selectable glyphs, allowing you to choose your preferred aesthetics, instead of being limited to pre-selected ones. This means you can now purchase the one you find most aesthetically pleasing rather than being restricted to those with pre-selected glyphs. Currently the ones with those boxes are: Infinite Choya Gathering Tools (3)  Infinite Cosmic Gathering Tools (3)  Infinite Elemental Gathering Tools (3)  Infinite Glacial Gathering Tools (3)  Infinite Skyscale Gathering Tools (3)  Infinite Vermilion Gathering Tools (3)

[@Evan4K]

That's true, good point! Glyph of Volatility is even available in those selectable boxes

[@Babugue]

@@Evan4K Great videos btw, hope you make more lore videos also, but idk if they get many views... Anyway! Keep it up with the amazing work.

[@JanChacn]

What about the volatile magic gathering tools? it says is not available in the gem store, where should look for them?

[@JD-ls6ex]

So .. They changed the rechargable teleport to friend from 60 minutes cooldown to 10 minutes It's now my favorite gemstore item I think

[@Wisznuification]

Also, a very important reason for buying story episodes is Mastery points EDIT: Also, do not salvage unidentified gear! EDIT2: Also, VIP areas are now pretty useless, you can just use Wizard Tower, it even has a teleportation item

[@kevincruz7958]

yeah I bought one before it came out. :/

[@Evan4K]

Good point lots of easy mastery points available in the living story maps. Personally I still think Mistlock Sanctuary and Armistice Bastion are useful. Since they give you direct access to things like fractals and wvw services

[@Wisznuification]

Technically yes, but the qol improvement is much lower than it used to be, for the same price. In my opinion, creating Wizard Tower and not lowering the price of VIP areas was a dick move by ANET

[@ihaveaplan.ijustneedmoney.9777]

Bobblehead laboratory takes top spot, clearly.

[@hybossa7]

9 foot tall vattle waifu , hahaja that one got me 😂😂😂

[@Thats_Andrew]

The World Boss teleporter is a must!

[@khymaaren]

Never missed an event because I didn't have that...

[@Akeche]

It also saves you gold in the long run, the teleport doesn't charge you for the waypoint.

[@Evan4K]

it definitely makes travel to events nice and simple

[@marinhrabric6162]

Didn't know that exists

[@Thats_Andrew]

@@marinhrabric6162 It's in the gem store and totally worth it!

[@danhayes2456]

What does lounge offer that Wizard's Tower doesnt?

[@largemilktea]

teleport u back to where u come from and fractal

[@bangomargit]

Where can you get the haircut that the female character has in your thumbnail?

[@Evan4K]

it a hair exclusive to the "Self-Style Hair Kit" gem store items. wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Self-Style_Hair_Kit

[@boutch1993]

You can also get this item collecting black lion statuettes in game

[@midgetydeath]

This is really good content! For me, though, it doesn't really matter to me when it comes to buying things in the game instead of having something reusable to do it for me. So things like the salvage items and gathering tools in the store are things I wouldn't bother buying.

[@Evan4K]

That's a fair point, most things in the gem store are can be debated based on personal priorities and preferences like that.

[@khymaaren]

I don't know which is worse: your comment getting autodeleted or when you know it wasn't the algorithm...

[@Marzaus]

mine got deleted too... what did you say? :D

[@khymaaren]

@@Marzaus I had a few opinions about the recommendations, overall ending up rather critical about the video. But it didn't contain any words or phrases that were caught by automatic moderation (aka censorship...) in the past. Also, that happens instantaneously. My comment here stayed up for several minutes.

[@Marzaus]

@@khymaaren simmilar, i critised the cooper-fed choice :D

[@khymaaren]

@@Marzaus Well, then at least you and I now know what to make of this channel's content.

[@Marzaus]

My comment was deleted? So lets try again... explain to me why is cooper-fed so great? If you actually do the maths, you straigh up loose gold by using it (instead of just selling stuff). It is one of the worst buys you can make, especially now with uniden. gear stacks that you just sell.

[@Evan4K]

Not sure why people's comments are getting deleted, nothing is even showing up in my "held for review" section. The reason why I like the copper fed kit is like I said in the video, for convenience sake. I know if you do the math it won't save you gold, but for people who don't want to have to buy several kits to salvage a full inventory it's a very convenient item to have. Simply click once and that's it.

[@Marzaus]

@@Evan4K Then maybe just warn them about loosing a lot of potential gold :) I would atleast mention to sell unid. stacks before using. That is nothing time consuming to do

[@macsarts1389]

​@@MarzausHow are you this dense? Most of the gem shop purchases are for quality of life improvements. Not everything in the game has to be centered around making gold. I personally am not a fan of frequenting a merchant to buy 25 stacks of salvaging kits hence the importance of copper fed and why a lot of players recommend it.

[@Marzaus]

@@macsarts1389 there is a line between QoL improvement and terrible decisions. Yes sure, its faster, but there is faster and profitable, and faster and stupid. If you salvage everything with copper-fed, thats straight up stupid thing to do. Every player wants gold, so telling them to throw it away is to me terrible advice. And why make a video to help ppl, if you are giving them terrible advices. Just mention what to use the copper-fed for, mention unid. stacks, or just warn them ATLEAST. Everyone praises the item like a repeating parrot without thinking first...

[@AngelicaFernandez-yc9kf]

​@@Marzaus it saves you a slots, salvage kits, pottentially waypoints fare, costs copper but gives you mats, more importantly the time it save by not doing all of those gives you more than enough ROI in the long run, it gives you more gametime to actually farm
