If you’re playing WvW for legendary armor and/or Conflux and end up with extra gifts of battle, you can do the non repeatable reward tracks instead that can give you anywhere from 6-14 mystic clovers per completion. A total of 103 clovers from 13 different ones. (Though one of them is the guildrider track which costs 200 gold to unlock)

Also once you finish one gift of cantha on a character, you can light lanterns for future gifts of cantha using blish. It takes about 30 min to do each map with blish; and join a Levi farm so that as you do things in the maps you can hop over to a spawned Levi for a quick chunk of ambergris.

Side note about spirit vestibule - your jade bot protocol procs every tick of damage in the maze as long as you aren't in combat, so it basically gives you a nearly permanent aegis block against those yellow circles, as well as perma swift/etc. Also aside from fishing/levi the seitung meta chest gives 1 ambergris and doesn't really take very long (if you do the west lane of the pre event you will almost certainly complete the heart on that side as well, if you care about that), so you can do that every day if you wish - its might be the most leeched meta in EoD judging by the amount of people afk outside the boss.

Luckily i dropped chak egg sac mere hours after eternity was sold. Eternally freed of the necessity to grind for gold, i actually did not sell it, but transformed it into the infusion and wear it, until I need the money. The beauty of infusions is, you can use it and still sell it, if you need. Value raised from 9k Gold to 12 k gold since then. With my steady income from alt-parking, weekly wizards vault and playing the game, there was no need to sell yet.

The only thing I would disagree with is not buying clovers from vendors, more specifically the raid exchange vendor. At 2 mystic coins per clovers you are essentially buying a guaranteed 50% craft rate instead of the usual 28-30% from the mystic forge. Yes you don't get materials back but keep in mind some of these mats will be cheaper ones like bolts of gossamer ancient wood planks and so on
@boonsterboom34708 ай бұрын
you loose the raid/fractal currency though... I would not directly advise to do so. For fractals e.g. you could invest those currency to get the omnipotion first, or even the titles, which nets you more currency in the long run. for raids, you can get infusions for them, which sell for quite some gold. Maybe it is still better, than transforming mystic clovers with the mystic forge, but is is not obviously and clearly an advantage.
@phandrel8 ай бұрын
I see your point. Personally, I'd advise using the vendors if you have limited materials (i.e., you need 10 clovers out of 20 mc). Overall, the MF is the better deal if fast farming 's data adds up. But the RNG-ness is the clear tradeoff, and I'd totally understand anyone not wanting to subject themselves to that.

Awesome! Oh yeah, the board is actually a very good point! Especially since it's 0 effort. Technically, the maths work in your favor in the forge vs buying.

Not sure if it's just me, but the mystic forge was terrible to me last time I tried making mystic clovers. I needed 120 clovers which would have cost 360 coins, spirit shards, and obsidian, plus the ecto tax from lyhr. I crafted them in the mystic forge and it took over 500 coins, spirit shards, and obsidian. Terrible RNG. And this was shortly after lyhr was introduced to the game so i wondered if they messed with the forge drop rate. You might get other mats instead of clovers with the forge recipe but they almost never add up to the cost of the coins you have to use. Twice during that failed forge marathon I got 50 mystic coins instead of 10 clovers which was nice, but ultimately it cost me way more to use the forge than just buying them from lyhr (who I use as my example because he is the only unlimited source).
@phandrel8 ай бұрын
Oof, yeah. That's a bad streak of luck. I recently had a spell of bad RNG as well, but it eventually was followed by 6x10 clovers in a row. I do agree that if you have limited materials, vendors like Lyhr do become more attractive to ensure you don't overspend.
@nytros_realm8 ай бұрын
@phandrel I am glad to see that it was a bad luck streak, as I have always crafted my clovers in the past. I wondered if they introduced Lyhr and dropped the success rate on purpose to try to drive ectos up. Now that I see just how involved ectos are in all Soto crafting I realize that probably isn't the case. Either way, you have given me reason enough to try again. I will need another 50 clovers here very soon. I will give the mystic forge a chance to redeem itself! Thanks for your videos!

There's no achievement or anything needed, but you will need to buy the recipes for the precursors if you intend to craft those (as opposed to buying them). You can also make Gen 1 without the achievements, by the way. Those are mainly to get a precursor, but most of the achievements (Carcharias has been an exception lately) are actually more expensive than buying the precursors off the TP.

Really nice video. For Imperial Favor, I just do meta trains (twice a week), but going to try this way.

So, does that way really worth instead of just farmng gold and buying t6 on TP?
@phandrel8 ай бұрын
Thanks! Metas are probably the fastest way. You could always mix and match depending on your schedule, of course :). The trophy shipments are definitely worth it. Right now, they will net you a 1.15g profit per shipment on average. If gathering isn't your thing, farming gold other ways will be more fun, though. So make sure you do what you enjoy, regardless of what I recommend.

Another great video. Been working on other legendaries (armor and accessories) as I always thought the Aurene legendary weapons were way out of my reach, but looks like it's a lot more doable than I thought!

I've been doing that for a couple months now and I'm noticing that it's really starting to burn through my karma reserves. I do the Winterday karma farm every year which gives quite a bit, but wanted to know if there are any other good ways to get karma reliably? Or just keep doing metas and playing the game and hope you earn enough passively to make up for the drain?
