      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

    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)

      @Wisznuification 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      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

    I love the black lion chest/keys. Its was how i was able to get all of my nodes from the trading co as 100 of those lion heads you can buy nodes, or even unbreakable tools and the like. Or if I missed something that I liked from the gem store; at time I can go buy that way to do it. It was how i got Roundtail Dragon Jade Bot Skin.
    Edit to add what I think SHOULD be in the list.
    1) rechargable teleport to friend. Cool down is now 10 min
    2) World Boss Portal Device. This also lets you know NOT ONLY the world bosses but also Drakkar, Dragonstorm and Convergences. Give you a 10min heads up and its FREE teleport to that location.
    3) any of the black lion expedition board (on reset you get send from mail resources for free)
    4) the Growing Crops. 2 is from Gem store, the last third one is from achievement.
    5) Infinite Fishing Lure (helps a lot for fishing achievements).

    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

      @@punani_slayer4209 There are some "lounges" (I think that's what they are called?) the important part is they contain all of the available crafting stations and other material services in a small and easily accessible area. I believe Royal Terrace is also special, as it is one of only a few that is a two-way teleport, where as many are only one way. Someone can correct me if I am wrong on that, I have taken an extended break from the game to focus on grad school.

    No need for VIP passes anymore since we have the Wizards Tower. Bank/Guild Bank, crafting, trading post, mystic toilet, and several other random vendors around. Sure, the vip lounges have even more functionality but the wizards tower covers like 80% of the needs

    I love when the game design purposely makes issues just for you to pay to fix them. POE. GW, Wow, etc.
    Sure, fund the game, but just do cosmetics and paid expansions. O wait, Gw2 had that, and they still charge for quailty of life. They are lucky the rest of the game is amazing.
    The tiny stash in the bank is probably the dumbest idea. The 250 limit on materials...fuck me dude.

    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.

      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.
