Nov. 22nd, 2014 10:08 amI've sort of reached the point at which I've accumulated quite a bit of money and I'm not completely sure what I'm hoarding it for. I'm not going to make a legendary (unless Dawn or Dusk literally falls into my lap), ascended weapons/armor seem too grindy, the Dreamthistle skins are now exorbitantly expensive, I don't need any T3 cultural armor (except possibly for my sylvari mesmer, but I'm happy with the armor set she has now), and I'm generally happy with how my characters look and don't really plan on buying a lot of stuff to gear them up with. (Also, crafting a Shadow of Grenth is still pretty far off—I have 300/1500 Bolts of Silk down and I don't even want to think about farming for Wool, Cotton, and Linen.)
There are always minipets, but I feel like I have most of the minipets I want now, and I'm not going to drop 100+ gold on a super-rare minipet.
I suppose I could always convert gold to gems for a character slot (I'd like to have an asura character, but I also like having a free character slot for farming/messing with character creation), but the thing is, I refuse to make any new characters unless the trait system is fixed. I just cannot imagine the horror of playing the game at level 80 with only a few traits.
I guess I could also be a good citizen and offer to buy the Mysterious Vine components for my sister that she's lacking... (I did offer to help her buy T3 cultural armor for her guardian, but her guardian is a long ways away from level 80, so that's going to take a while.)
*SHRUG*
In other news, I really want achievement points so I can have more awesome Zenith skins (I'm dying for the torch, shield, and longbow skins in particular), but hell if I know how to accumulate those quickly.
Also, I'm really looking forward to Wintersday! I loved it last year, and I really hope I have the chance to get the Wintersday minipets, because last year I was too dumb to get the Mini Plush Griffon in time. ;_;
Other random thoughts:
- Maybe I'll go for the Master Crafter title? I maxed out Artificing, Jewelering (?), Cooking, and Tailoring; I'm kinda close to maxing out Armorsmithing; and I still need Weaponsmithing, Huntsman...ing, and Leatherworking. I kind of want to collect some of the crafting-only weapon skins.
[I was able to speed-level Artificing and Jewelering (??) to max within, like, 2 days (thanks, vine backpiece, for giving me the incentive to do that), but then again they are on the cheaper side to get to max level, and also I totally used up my reserves of copper and iron, so I have to farm those now. D:]
- I have a fossilized insect that I'd love to turn into an Ambrite weapon. Problem is, I don't have nearly enough Geodes to buy the recipe and stuff, and the thought of grinding for 350 Geodes at Dry Top makes me die a little inside. Sigh...it's so not fair that such a nice-looking weapon set can only be obtained through RNG (for the fossils) + whopping tons of Geodes. (I wish I could have them all. ;_;)
