A note for the completionists. If you do every weekly, daily, and special, you will have a surplus of acclaim. This is why the tier 5 bags, and more expensive 1g bags are in there. Most folks probably won't fully min max this, so it's of no use to them. But the folks that are diligent, you can get every item in here, plus some. Really great stuff!
Still, they should be separated from the actual good rewards, a new player might see 'oh 40 AA for this, this might be good then', and essentially waste AA for a couple of silver..
@@JocoBreRbC Part of playing a game, is also figuring it out... Players need to figure some stuff out, anet doesn't have to hold their hand during every single thing they do... So what if a new player happens to buy one of those before realising that it's not a good deal and just.. never do it again?
What I regret is that until there, we could pick between pvp / wvw / pve very more freely. You could choose the 3 most quick to do, or do all of them, there was a lot more freedom in that. But the rewards of that new system are way better.
I had a feeling going into soto that they'd do away with that but honestly I want to find what the subtasks are IN GAME. I shouldn't have to go to an external wiki to see which ones are worth picking today/this week.
I do miss that too. I do wish they bring this option back for the daily option only at least, so we cab have 4 options for each choice once more. But other than that, it is really interesting system, like I think right now I can make a legend weapon as I am right now ^3^!!
Great rewards, just make sure to only select the categroy (PvE, WvW, PvP) that you actualy play regulary. Screwed up on first day and selected all 3, got a bunch of PvP weekly that im not going to complete.
You can clear this in daily rooms that are organized by members of the community - you can find them in the pvp game browser. Aside from the one that strictly says 3 ranked pvp wins (which require a ranked queue), the others can be done there.
I heard of the wizard’s vault and the rotating rewards and my first thought was “oh, so it’s like a free battlepass with rotating prizes to exploit the sense of FOMO.” And then I heard those rewards will go into a “legacy vault” where you can still obtain them at anytime. Im still flabbergasted at a game company creating a reward system that DOESN’T attempt to transparently exploit its player base.

Was working on my next legendary trinket and this drops... Legendary weapons were on my list after trinkets. Thanks to legendary started kit... I should have bifrost probably this weekend. - it feels insane!
Yeah, too late. It got me to 75% there with the materials I already had. And all my characters I use have a staff build. So... yeh, 120gold lighter now 😅.
This leg starter kit ruined the price of my precursor's. Not to mention how hard I had to work to make legendarys. Anet always does some shit like this eventually.
Do note that the ascended gear purchases are only for core stats, so you'll need to stat-swap them if you want expansion stats, not the end of the world but still a minor annoyance. Is it confirmed that the legendary box contains a fully-crafted legendary gift (e.g. gift of bolt) rather than just one of the component gifts (gift of metal or lightning)? It's a little unclear as to what a "themed gift" is.
The unlimited bag of coins and large crafting bags are more expensive because it is meant to be used for excess acclaim when you got everything else, so not supposed to be "fairly" priced.
@@naapsuvaimne740before wizards vault, people would log into a bunch of alt accounts to gain the log in rewards.

Completely agree. This system is a great addition, but needs some refinement. The first things to tackle is probably the number of objectives, as before this expansion, you had much more freedom. Daily completionist can still be gated to only 4 objectives per day and then not give any more rewards, but please give us a bit more choices in there. And maybe give us a way to have the same ones as our friends, as having different expansions activated makes the objectives differ. Maybe giving a manual choice akin to the PVE/PVP/WvW one, but for expansions, could solve that issue.
I'd like to see more available dailies and weeklies. And pvp and wvw track potions added to the items. Having to do all the dailies means I don't get to choose what I do each day and choosing to do only things I have fun with is one of the things gw2 does best. It's also given me dailies and weeklies that I can't do yet. In zones I don't have access to with any characters yet(new taking it slowly through the content) and asking for ranked pvp matches when I can't do them yet. Just giving more options every day/week fixes that and otherwise seems like a fun system and good replacement for the old daily/login rewards.
I'm glad you said that the legendary kits are rotating as I looked at them and as there wasn't a weapon I use for my builds I was rather dismayed. Now though? I can wait for a short-bow! :)
You should definitely pick up the starter kit, even if you don't like the current set of weapons. The value you get from it is absolutely insane and you can just hoard it for later (also don't forget legendaries can be transmogged for free, so you can always change it to look however you want)

mmm a a question about the essence/ acclaims. Do they refresh weekly? Say I have like 800 at the end of the week, do they disappear if not used the next week?
No. The 1300 serves at the cap so you can't hoard it between quarterly patches. But up to 1300 you can keep your acclaim saved up as much as you want as long as you want.
@@battlebots1 ah okay, so any acclaims you have left after this patch ends and the next quarterly patch arrives, they disappear; If I understood correctly?
@@itsmistaK92 I don't think they should disappear. Arenanet hasn't said for sure as far as I know, but I think they would carry over, otherwise there is no point to the acclaim cap.
I got the legendary kit and with what I already had in the bank I calculate the cost of the bifrost as under 200g (mostly for the gift of might) and a little bit of farming in WvW for a gift of battle.
the legendary starter is great but it does hurt that I crafted Bifrost like 2 weeks ago if I had known that Bifrost was in the first box I could almost craft a gen 2 as well now :/
been playing 11 years never crafted a legendary but the items that the pack gave me made me craft my first with the stuff i had stashed away for years in my bank. Anet did good :)
@@darkviper1875ive done a ton of the achievements, got all mounts etc, just didnt go forward with making a legendary. its not like the game was like 'hey, make one!'. you have to dig through pages and pages of wiki to even know what you need to do. Then add time gating, even more grind etc. Just not my thing
I wonder if anet will continue the rewards being this good. This vault is EPIC! Build storage and template expanders just for playing the game?!?! What’s next bag or material storage expansions? These rewards are insanely good. 3 ascended armor chests and an ascended weapon chest for doing dailies!?!? Definitely some memes in here as Teapot says, but all in all these rewards far exceed what I was expecting. My only criticism is that I loved stacking the WvW potions for gift of battles when I needed them. I did the reward tracks I wanted and would just collect my gift of battle when I got 80 potions. Keep up the great content, MT.
I got the legendary weapon starter kit. What i don't understand is, if i don't have the tyrian mastery for legendary weapon crafting, can i still make the legendary weapon without it?
Hi, I have a doubt about the legendary weapon starter kit. Can you only purchased one per account or you can purchase one every new season of the Wizard's Vault?
You can purchase one every season but if you buy the sword package you won’t have access to the other 3 weapon options next season because then you can only buy one of the next 4 weapons
So basically always buy all the legendary starter kits for any legendary weapon you still want/need (to not miss out)? I've not seen anything come close to the same value.
I would prefer if the system provided, say, 3 of each. PVE, WVW, and PVP. And then when you do 3 of any combination (1 WvW 2 Pvp or 3 PvE or 1 of each whatever you want to do) it locks the daily rewards. Then something similar with Weeklies.
That's my only issue with it. I picked pve and wvw. Now I'm forced to do WvW weeklies without a choice. I'd love to see like 8 we can choose from then lock the rest out.
I'm mostly miffed that I can't do dailies with my friends or my wife anymore. If I could select a guild or a friend to have the same daily selections as (like the new WvW system for guilds) I'd be soooooo happy!
@@battlebots1 I mean even if there are rewards at 1300 for whatever reason the cap of what you can hold should be something like 1500 or 2000 makes no sense.
@drios8809 i already had enough clovers and ectoplasm and just brought about 70 each of the gift of might materials, so just paying for them was about 60ish gold
I think you missed the items have limits to how many you can purchasw which is why the gold find is 1k coins because the legendary box is only 1 per and the ascended itemms is 2 weapons and 3 armorr
I really like the new system! I didn’t realize you can scroll down lol good thing the mount and legendary kit are on the top :) Thanks for vid. SOTO is great, I’m enjoying the new cast of character, darker story theme, introduction of wizards / secret society. Just epic
so i can buy the legendary starter kit for bifrost f.e. now and next "season" when the new rewards drop i can get the starter kit for another weapon whatever is in the rotation then?
I've made more legendaries than I can remember and sold a bunch of them. In the first legendary starter kit I've crafted all four and own three of them. Bought it anyway for the gift of might or magic. I have a love-hate relationship with Quip (the one I previously sold and got in the box now), but if I ever do decide I want it I'm more than half way. In the meantime I'll use the Gift of Might I got for another weapon. Love the vault!
honestly what I see as a jackpot is buying extra storage, I NEED that since im struggling a bit, i feel like that is the first thing that everyone should buy at this point. Next priority would be if they rotate to sunrise legendary components OR mystic clovers
How does it work with the pvp/ wvw / pve selection? I ofc seleced all even tho I do not do pvp at all. If I change it to only pve & wvw will I have the same amount of "quests" in there? E.g. for weekly there are 8. Will there be 8 available divided into 4 pve and 4 wvw or will I just get 6 and I have to do them all ?
Contrary to popular belief, alt accounts aren't dead. You get 5 acclaim just for logging in. If we presume a season is 3 months, thats 5 X 90 = 450 acclaim - just from logging in. That is enough to get 75 raw gold if you pick that option, 50 mystic coins, or 45 laurel bags. Or you can get the 30 heavy crafting bags with 240 acclaim and have leftovers, if you have soto on that alt account. Now some of the pve dailies are extremely easy - like my alt account had a mine 15 things daily. That adds another 10. If you put in a tiny bit more work, you can get a pretty decent amount of extra acclaim on your alt account just by spending a tiny bit more time. Some weeklies are easy too - I had a salvage 50 item one on my alt account. That adds another 40. Sure its not as brain dead easy as simply logging in your several thousand alt accounts (if you''re one of those people) from before this change , but if you have just a small number of alt accounts this is actually pretty decent. You can even gear your alt account in ascended gear now for "free" for the lulz if you wanted via the ascended boxes.
The rewards are good that's for sure but at the same time that's also an issue imo. I don't like dailies / weeklies.. I just wanna log in and do whatever i want but these rewards are so good that I feel like I have to do my daily/weekly chores all the time. I also much prefered the old daily tasks where i could pick the easy ones or just skip a day if there aren't any quick ones (just 2g right? w/e if i miss a day). It has potential I think but in the current state it feels more like a job than anything else to me.
then dont do it, as you said you dont wanna do weekly dailies, then dont. if you want the rewards then do it. theres many ways to get the same rewards even if you dont do the vault
The amount you can earn doing every daily, weekly and special far exceeds what's needed for the non-generic rewards. Skip a day or two if that's what you feel
Finally! Something we all can do that allows us to farm gold. Coz the game, for so long, never really had a significant way for new players to farm gold which is really annoying.
5:51 idk if they actually want you in the mystic forge, since lhyr just sells clovers now. 3 coins 3 obsidian 5 ectos and 3 spirit shards per. so a little more expensive than gambeling, but stable price.
It's actually a lot more expensive once you consider the value of returned materials on failed forges. The vendor is 100% a convenience tax and everyone should still be forging clovers the normal way once their discounted options are maxed out.
may I ask how did you completed the a new friend achieve so fast ? I already had the skyscale but it seems I will need to do again ... is there so other way I'm missing ?
One of my friends asked me what I thought on it and I didn't have an answer, because I hadn't done any math on it. I should just not answer stupid questions. Anyway, it'll be interesting to see what other number crunchers think. I think the mystic coins look alright. The mystic clovers are a rip off, but they're better than much of the other things on there. The griffon is highly tempting, even though I'm not sure I'll even use it. Will be interesting to see what they add in the future.
Damn those rewards make me maybe wanna play again, I never got ascended gear and wanted to, never finished skyscale as I didn’t have the loot for it and legendary I never thought to try but maybe I can now…
It won't allow you to claim the reward until you have space for it. so you'd need to spend 200 to bring your total down to 1k, then you could claim the 300
What about item limits? 60 Mystic coins means the limit is the same as before if the refresh only happens on quarterly updates. With much less people being able to get them as previously they required login only. MC will become a heck more expensive if it works that way.
The market will balance itself out. If the raw gold is worth more, the alt accounts will buy gold, and the price of MC will rise. If MC are worth more than gold, they'll buy the MC and their supply will drop the price. It's an equilibrium, and while that balance point may not be where it was pre-SotO, there is still a balance point and it will naturally shift to it. All that to say there's no point in worrying.
@@akhsdenlew1861 But previously the supply of MCs was sustained by dozens of alt accounts that were used only to collect login reward. Now buying 60 MCs in 3 months requires actually doing dailies. Just logging in does not give you enough AA. You don't think a person who had 20 alts will be doing dailies and weeklies on 20 accounts, right?
@@SheenaMalfoyThe thing is, new system provides at best the same amount of Mystic coins as before. When I say at best, I mean that every person who was doing daily reward farming previously, will now be doing enough dailies and weeklies on all those accounts to buy 60 MCs every 3 months. Otherwise supply of Mystic Coins will be lower than before.
@@lazycanadian9165 Yes, and it's exremely good that all those cheesy log in abusers with 50 accounts are gone. Someone who plays the game should get rewarded, someone who doesn't play the game should not get rewarded. People who abused that log in reward system ( it shouldn't exist in the first place) are finally gone. And the normal players that are playing the game are getting the exact amount of mystic coins they were always getting, but they also get a lot more rewards. So overall, this new system is at least 20 times better, minimum.
yeah, so, today's daily cannot be completed because the minidungeon is bugged. And because they took choices away there is no alternative objective we could do instead. Absolutely great, Anet.
Only required for specific purchases (Griffon skin, heavy bags, legendary, and a few others). Some special tasks are also unlocked with expansion. Everything else can be done without it.
A couple of important disclaimers: 1.) The Legendary Starter kit is limited quantity. I think you can only buy one per quarter. 2.) The precursor you get from it (in my case, I bought the Bolt starter kit, so I got Zap as part of that) is Account Bound, so it cannot be sold on the TP. It is truly great and will save you money if you want a head start on a legendary weapon, but if you're buying it as an acclaim-to-gold pipeline, you'll find yourself very disappointed.
well, that depends on whether the legendary you produce with this precursor is account bound, because it is far more profitable to craft legendaries and sell them. And i doubt anything you get out of mystic forge is account restricted.
@@sasha9796 True! You should be able to just straight-up craft a Legendary and sell that. That said, the way I feel like the info was shared here could be interpreted in a way that you could buy the starter kit and sell the precursor. Which, while I am sure is not what was meant at all, could be inadvertently misleading.
As for legendaries, i have the quip and bifrost. i just need 77 clover and the two gifts of might and magic 😆😆 i have everything else before the expansion dropped
This is one of the BEST changes the game has ever seen and this is coming from a 2012 player. People who say they prefer the old system are blinded by the fear of change.
not at all . just no incentive to log on my alt account now , rl loot wasted and you cant say the new daily system isnt borked af rn, no bother though , 2x copies of gw2 = 120 gb ssd space for baldurs gate 3 and some sweet cash selling one or both of my accs :)
@@SPAMLANWALKERI think someone worked out it was 25/g a month for the 5aa login. Personally I just have my alt set to pvp only, all my dailies are done with 1 game.
Anyways legendaries are dropping drastically, sellers are so damn impatient in order to get their precious gold, they cut prices by literal hundreds of gold. Thanks to all those little desperate sellers now I'm completing my legy collection.
The vault is secretly the best thing anet did for pvp. Easy liquid gold, WEEKLLIES, build expansions, armor and weapon skins, even more transmutation charges, and the pvp dailies and weeklies are probably THE Easiest content to do. (with the exception that you might need to do a tournament here and there which is a huge waste of time) I never considered touching legendaries and all I have to do is craft a gift of might and I am getting a free bolt...
My impression is that the cheap rewards will give you less than the old dailies while the expensive ones will have much more value. In total the new system has more flexible rewards. But be careful, prices will change due to the new system.
Legendary Starter Kit saved 300 gold but took away the opportunity to get a Gift of Battle without participating in the WvW. For me, this is more of a minus for people who do not play WvW

the legendary starter is great but it does hurt that I crafted Bifrost like 2 weeks ago if I had known that Bifrost was in the first box I could almost craft a gen 2 as well now :/
Yeah, you're not alone. Just thinking about how much money I could have saved hurts.
I am getting bag of coins and anything i would be able to use for the leggy armor on the 3rd update
been playing 11 years never crafted a legendary but the items that the pack gave me made me craft my first with the stuff i had stashed away for years in my bank. Anet did good :)
11 years no legendary? what were u doing the entire time???
@@darkviper1875 I don't care for crafting. Just like the combat and events. I had been selling all my mats for years
@@pkilljoy5797 ye but…u werent grinding for anything for 11 years? just doing events left and right? ngl thats dedication but….why….
@@darkviper1875not everyone needs shiny turds i guess
@@darkviper1875ive done a ton of the achievements, got all mounts etc, just didnt go forward with making a legendary. its not like the game was like 'hey, make one!'. you have to dig through pages and pages of wiki to even know what you need to do. Then add time gating, even more grind etc. Just not my thing
I wonder if anet will continue the rewards being this good. This vault is EPIC! Build storage and template expanders just for playing the game?!?! What’s next bag or material storage expansions? These rewards are insanely good. 3 ascended armor chests and an ascended weapon chest for doing dailies!?!?
Definitely some memes in here as Teapot says, but all in all these rewards far exceed what I was expecting. My only criticism is that I loved stacking the WvW potions for gift of battles when I needed them. I did the reward tracks I wanted and would just collect my gift of battle when I got 80 potions.
Keep up the great content, MT.
what dailys yo do wvwvw?
You can skip the build template by copy pasting your build code into a note doc. Literally free infinite template storage
Re the Legendary Starter Kit…isn’t the Gift of Exploration still required for Gift of Mastery..so still requiring map completion?TY
Wizard's Vault Tier list coming soon?! 😂😂
I got the legendary weapon starter kit. What i don't understand is, if i don't have the tyrian mastery for legendary weapon crafting, can i still make the legendary weapon without it?
Yes. Legendary Weapon Crafting just lets you make precursors, the legendary weapon starter kit gives you a precursor so you can skip that step.
@@lilianhalcombe2820 thank you very much.
The new Griffon skin + being able to use updrafts on mounts is my new favorite thing in this game. I'm just gliding all over Amnytas
how often does the store refresh?
Got 1k AA and thus 500g from the release till now. Wizard's Vault is more than 100% better rewards.
500g? can you sell the legendary kit items?
need to know since 1000 is still high
Oh i hadn't even noticed the cap! That's really cool, I'll bever feel pressure to save thousands in case something incredible comes along
is there a use for alt accounts now? are the daily login bonuses gone?
Hi, I have a doubt about the legendary weapon starter kit. Can you only purchased one per account or you can purchase one every new season of the Wizard's Vault?
You can purchase one every season but if you buy the sword package you won’t have access to the other 3 weapon options next season because then you can only buy one of the next 4 weapons
So basically always buy all the legendary starter kits for any legendary weapon you still want/need (to not miss out)? I've not seen anything come close to the same value.
wow, did not notice that cog at all, thanks!
already used the legendary kit to make Bolt!
One thing I haven't heard much about is Laurels, I got thousands to use up now that log in loot is no more.
Teapot needs a bobble head of himself. He reminds me of a living bobble head
thank you for the video's and i was wondering are you still logging into your alt accounts everyday?
Ive finish the quests from daily, weekly and special quest it landed me 2380 ish points. I immediately grab the legendary kit and the griffon skin.
I would prefer if the system provided, say, 3 of each. PVE, WVW, and PVP. And then when you do 3 of any combination (1 WvW 2 Pvp or 3 PvE or 1 of each whatever you want to do) it locks the daily rewards. Then something similar with Weeklies.
That's my only issue with it. I picked pve and wvw. Now I'm forced to do WvW weeklies without a choice. I'd love to see like 8 we can choose from then lock the rest out.
@@traviscue2099you can change it on next weekly reset
@@clamkin Oh I mean that the weekly is a set amount/as are the dailies. But yeah I changed it asap, "Defend 10 keeps" could take damn hours!
@@traviscue2099 yep, I had that, took me 5 hrs... it sucked. And if the tag on your map has "take 10 keeps", then no one comes to help defend
@@membershipmovementIts the nature of how the game works too, there's no "pride" or gain from defending really. Its always cat and mouse tagging.
can you sell the precursor?
Hello, could someone please explain me how to unlock the new weapons for classes? like swords for necro?
Comes with the next big update. Until then, enjoying hammer on my tempest for extra twirls.
I'm mostly miffed that I can't do dailies with my friends or my wife anymore. If I could select a guild or a friend to have the same daily selections as (like the new WvW system for guilds) I'd be soooooo happy!
that's my only problem with the change also
I heard that if you have the same combination of wvw/pvp/pve selected, you'll get the same dailies.
You need to have the same preferences to Pve/Wvw/Pvp and also own the same expansions to get dailies together.
Me too, this sucks
Besides what you mentioned why the kitten is the cap for AA 1300? Like that's such a weird number to land on
We won't know till next quarterly update when it rotates. Presumably there will be no rewards more than 1300.
@@battlebots1 I mean even if there are rewards at 1300 for whatever reason the cap of what you can hold should be something like 1500 or 2000 makes no sense.
3:35 wow i didn't realize you could scroll down :( lol
I've spent 10 years avoiding legendary weapon crafting. 2 days into expansion and now have one thanks to new system
how much gold did it total cost you with this system
@drios8809 i already had enough clovers and ectoplasm and just brought about 70 each of the gift of might materials, so just paying for them was about 60ish gold
@@StagWithLag oh okayy
I think you missed the items have limits to how many you can purchasw which is why the gold find is 1k coins because the legendary box is only 1 per and the ascended itemms is 2 weapons and 3 armorr
i demand a tier list
for any1 wondering, acclaim does not dissappear weekly if u dont spend it, confirmed by dev
Does the quarterly amount if AA disappear if you haven't used it when the next quarter arrives?
i'd assume if it dont go away weekly then it wont quarterly either@@byronrocher7346
I really like the new system! I didn’t realize you can scroll down lol good thing the mount and legendary kit are on the top :)
Thanks for vid.
SOTO is great, I’m enjoying the new cast of character, darker story theme, introduction of wizards / secret society. Just epic
R'tchikk the great rat all the way!
so i can buy the legendary starter kit for bifrost f.e. now and next "season" when the new rewards drop i can get the starter kit for another weapon whatever is in the rotation then?
That’s my understanding yes, I think they might keep the weapons tied to gen 1 and 3 since they aren’t as collection heavy as say Nevermore from gen 2
PSA, Miyani now sells you clovers directly
I've made more legendaries than I can remember and sold a bunch of them. In the first legendary starter kit I've crafted all four and own three of them. Bought it anyway for the gift of might or magic. I have a love-hate relationship with Quip (the one I previously sold and got in the box now), but if I ever do decide I want it I'm more than half way. In the meantime I'll use the Gift of Might I got for another weapon. Love the vault!
you must just be putting a positive spin because its your job, that was not my experience at first.
90 raw gold for 540 acclaim ain't bad.
Will the Legendary Starter kit include Gen2 leggy weapons or just rotate through Gen1??
Oh mighty teapot wizard! Should I craft quip even if I already have the gen2 legy pistol? (I have all the other gen1 of the season)
honestly what I see as a jackpot is buying extra storage, I NEED that since im struggling a bit, i feel like that is the first thing that everyone should buy at this point.
Next priority would be if they rotate to sunrise legendary components OR mystic clovers
It's not bank storage, it's build template storage, the list to the left in your build tab.
@@juanpunch2793well….that was dissapointing…and i cant read apparently
How does it work with the pvp/ wvw / pve selection? I ofc seleced all even tho I do not do pvp at all. If I change it to only pve & wvw will I have the same amount of "quests" in there? E.g. for weekly there are 8. Will there be 8 available divided into 4 pve and 4 wvw or will I just get 6 and I have to do them all ?
Same amount of quests, they're just split differently
@@imVidzzz Thank you, and fuck me for picking pvp I guess.
Contrary to popular belief, alt accounts aren't dead. You get 5 acclaim just for logging in. If we presume a season is 3 months, thats 5 X 90 = 450 acclaim - just from logging in. That is enough to get 75 raw gold if you pick that option, 50 mystic coins, or 45 laurel bags. Or you can get the 30 heavy crafting bags with 240 acclaim and have leftovers, if you have soto on that alt account. Now some of the pve dailies are extremely easy - like my alt account had a mine 15 things daily. That adds another 10. If you put in a tiny bit more work, you can get a pretty decent amount of extra acclaim on your alt account just by spending a tiny bit more time. Some weeklies are easy too - I had a salvage 50 item one on my alt account. That adds another 40. Sure its not as brain dead easy as simply logging in your several thousand alt accounts (if you''re one of those people) from before this change , but if you have just a small number of alt accounts this is actually pretty decent.
You can even gear your alt account in ascended gear now for "free" for the lulz if you wanted via the ascended boxes.
The rewards are good that's for sure but at the same time that's also an issue imo. I don't like dailies / weeklies.. I just wanna log in and do whatever i want but these rewards are so good that I feel like I have to do my daily/weekly chores all the time.
I also much prefered the old daily tasks where i could pick the easy ones or just skip a day if there aren't any quick ones (just 2g right? w/e if i miss a day).
It has potential I think but in the current state it feels more like a job than anything else to me.
then dont do it, as you said you dont wanna do weekly dailies, then dont. if you want the rewards then do it. theres many ways to get the same rewards even if you dont do the vault
The amount you can earn doing every daily, weekly and special far exceeds what's needed for the non-generic rewards. Skip a day or two if that's what you feel
Finally! Something we all can do that allows us to farm gold. Coz the game, for so long, never really had a significant way for new players to farm gold which is really annoying.
5:51 idk if they actually want you in the mystic forge, since lhyr just sells clovers now. 3 coins 3 obsidian 5 ectos and 3 spirit shards per. so a little more expensive than gambeling, but stable price.
It's actually a lot more expensive once you consider the value of returned materials on failed forges. The vendor is 100% a convenience tax and everyone should still be forging clovers the normal way once their discounted options are maxed out.
If you just need a low amount of clovers, lyhr is a valid option. Pretty sure some people will crunch the numbers about that soon
may I ask how did you completed the a new friend achieve so fast ? I already had the skyscale but it seems I will need to do again ... is there so other way I'm missing ?
If they add the wvw/pvp reward track potions int that shop. Itll be reallyyyy good. So just waiting on that and I think everyone is really happy
ive already earned close to 200g with the vault, bought all the 1g for 6, mystic coins, and mastery coffers
One of my friends asked me what I thought on it and I didn't have an answer, because I hadn't done any math on it. I should just not answer stupid questions. Anyway, it'll be interesting to see what other number crunchers think. I think the mystic coins look alright. The mystic clovers are a rip off, but they're better than much of the other things on there. The griffon is highly tempting, even though I'm not sure I'll even use it. Will be interesting to see what they add in the future.
Damn those rewards make me maybe wanna play again, I never got ascended gear and wanted to, never finished skyscale as I didn’t have the loot for it and legendary I never thought to try but maybe I can now…
So what if I have 1200 of the astral aclaim points and do a mission that gives me 300. Are 200 just gone?
It won't allow you to claim the reward until you have space for it. so you'd need to spend 200 to bring your total down to 1k, then you could claim the 300
@@AlaiaSkyhawk Cheers mate
what i want is a value board regarding every single item you can purchase.
From the best, to the worst..
What about item limits? 60 Mystic coins means the limit is the same as before if the refresh only happens on quarterly updates. With much less people being able to get them as previously they required login only. MC will become a heck more expensive if it works that way.
u could get 20 mystic coins per month with the previous system, which is the same as 60 mystic coins every 3 months.
The market will balance itself out. If the raw gold is worth more, the alt accounts will buy gold, and the price of MC will rise. If MC are worth more than gold, they'll buy the MC and their supply will drop the price. It's an equilibrium, and while that balance point may not be where it was pre-SotO, there is still a balance point and it will naturally shift to it.
All that to say there's no point in worrying.
@@akhsdenlew1861 But previously the supply of MCs was sustained by dozens of alt accounts that were used only to collect login reward. Now buying 60 MCs in 3 months requires actually doing dailies. Just logging in does not give you enough AA. You don't think a person who had 20 alts will be doing dailies and weeklies on 20 accounts, right?
@@SheenaMalfoyThe thing is, new system provides at best the same amount of Mystic coins as before. When I say at best, I mean that every person who was doing daily reward farming previously, will now be doing enough dailies and weeklies on all those accounts to buy 60 MCs every 3 months. Otherwise supply of Mystic Coins will be lower than before.
@@lazycanadian9165 Yes, and it's exremely good that all those cheesy log in abusers with 50 accounts are gone.
Someone who plays the game should get rewarded, someone who doesn't play the game should not get rewarded.
People who abused that log in reward system ( it shouldn't exist in the first place) are finally gone.
And the normal players that are playing the game are getting the exact amount of mystic coins they were always getting, but they also get a lot more rewards.
So overall, this new system is at least 20 times better, minimum.
wait you can scroll down in the rewards tab, was kinda disappointed with the amount of choices, but now I feel stupid.
Thank you MT for explaining this properly :)
yeah, so, today's daily cannot be completed because the minidungeon is bugged. And because they took choices away there is no alternative objective we could do instead. Absolutely great, Anet.
What if i dont have Soto? do you need the expansion to buy stuff?
Some of the rewards are SotO only, the system itself is available to everyone with at least one level-80 character
YES. PAY UP
Only required for specific purchases (Griffon skin, heavy bags, legendary, and a few others). Some special tasks are also unlocked with expansion. Everything else can be done without it.
A couple of important disclaimers:
1.) The Legendary Starter kit is limited quantity. I think you can only buy one per quarter.
2.) The precursor you get from it (in my case, I bought the Bolt starter kit, so I got Zap as part of that) is Account Bound, so it cannot be sold on the TP.
It is truly great and will save you money if you want a head start on a legendary weapon, but if you're buying it as an acclaim-to-gold pipeline, you'll find yourself very disappointed.
well, that depends on whether the legendary you produce with this precursor is account bound, because it is far more profitable to craft legendaries and sell them. And i doubt anything you get out of mystic forge is account restricted.
@@sasha9796 True! You should be able to just straight-up craft a Legendary and sell that.
That said, the way I feel like the info was shared here could be interpreted in a way that you could buy the starter kit and sell the precursor. Which, while I am sure is not what was meant at all, could be inadvertently misleading.
As for legendaries, i have the quip and bifrost. i just need 77 clover and the two gifts of might and magic 😆😆 i have everything else before the expansion dropped
Check out Miami and the new Soto vendor for mystic clover purchasing. Soto vendor is unbound I think, Miami is 10 per week.
So with alt accounts you can still get some stuff for logging in, like 1 gold per day at least.
Not a lot but still free gold
love how people cried about vault then everything u could get before you can still get lmao
you can sell mistyc coin too its 60 gold ish
I do not pvp wvw or do group content so have not done a daily since launch. I preferred the old system. New story is fun.
This is one of the BEST changes the game has ever seen and this is coming from a 2012 player. People who say they prefer the old system are blinded by the fear of change.
not at all . just no incentive to log on my alt account now , rl loot wasted and you cant say the new daily system isnt borked af rn, no bother though , 2x copies of gw2 = 120 gb ssd space for baldurs gate 3 and some sweet cash selling one or both of my accs :)
@@SPAMLANWALKERI think someone worked out it was 25/g a month for the 5aa login. Personally I just have my alt set to pvp only, all my dailies are done with 1 game.
Also the markets on the precursor items are dropping already, significantly more for ones in the current cycle. Which should be expected.
Anyways legendaries are dropping drastically, sellers are so damn impatient in order to get their precious gold, they cut prices by literal hundreds of gold. Thanks to all those little desperate sellers now I'm completing my legy collection.
Yes and the ones I already had got fkd over. When I saw the starter kit I was like fk you anet!
I think they said that when stuff rotates out to legacy it would be way more expensive. Still attainable ye
i love the vault, got my first piece of ascended gear ever.
Yeah, me too.
The vault is secretly the best thing anet did for pvp. Easy liquid gold, WEEKLLIES, build expansions, armor and weapon skins, even more transmutation charges, and the pvp dailies and weeklies are probably THE Easiest content to do. (with the exception that you might need to do a tournament here and there which is a huge waste of time)
I never considered touching legendaries and all I have to do is craft a gift of might and I am getting a free bolt...
My impression is that the cheap rewards will give you less than the old dailies while the expensive ones will have much more value. In total the new system has more flexible rewards. But be careful, prices will change due to the new system.
time to do map completion for the 4th time so I can make that cheap bolt and bifrost!
Legendary Starter Kit saved 300 gold but took away the opportunity to get a Gift of Battle without participating in the WvW. For me, this is more of a minus for people who do not play WvW
