Forging a better future through magic (Mystic forge)


What's that you bookahs are saying your bags are full of equipment that are worse than what you are currently wearing. Then you need a mystic forge!! This fantastic device is powered by a trapped djinn all the way from Elona!!! You may be wondering how it was trapped in there and the truth is we don't know. But that is totally besides the point.

Locations
You will find the Mystic Forge in the Mystic Plaza in Lions Arch as well as in the Heart of the Mists. How can it be in two places at the same time you are asking? Well I would explain the whole parallel universal space displacement theory but it would probably confuse you bookahs.


How it works

Random Items
Put in four random items and click forge for the chance for one much better item.

Dyes
Put in 4 common dyes and you get a chance to get back a rarer dye.

Mini-Pets
Put in 4 pets of the same rarity and you get a chance to get back a rarer mini-pet.

Legendary Items
Next to the mystic forge is a NPC called Miyami. She is the mystic forge vendor. From her you can buy legendary recipes for 10 gold. That does not sound so expensive until you look at the ingredients to forge the item for example it costs 100 skill points for an Orb of Power which is used to in forging a legendary item.

Changing crafting material from one type into another
For one skill point you can buy from Miyami 10 philosopher stones which you can use to change one crafting material into another.

Better Siege Weapons
For one skill point you can buy a Siege Masters Guide which you can at the mystic forge to upgrade one of your siege weapons to a more devastating version at the Mystic Forge.



Final Note
For those worried about the skill point costs remember that unlike other games where the level bar gets grayed out and you no longer get XP in Guild Wars to you still get XP and every time your XP bar fills you still get a skill point.

Lippsy's Bookahs Guide to Managing your Inventory


Hello and welcome all.

You Bookahs have probably noticed that it is a pain to manage your inventory. To help you inferior non Asuara out I have a quick guide.

In Guild wars 2 you get Boxes, Bags and Packs.

Boxes are made by armorsmiths.
Bags are made by tailors.
Packs are made by leather workers.

Special Boxes
Equipment boxes - Weapons and armor you pick up will fill this box first if there is space.
Safe boxes - What ever you put in this box will not show when you are selling to a vendor and will not get sorted when you sort your inventory.

Special Bags
Craftsman's bags - Crafting material you pick up will fill this bag first if there is space.
Invisible bags - What ever you put in this bag will not show when you are selling to a vendor and will not get sorted when you sort your inventory

Special Packs
Oiled packs - Junk items you pick up will fill this pack first if there is space.
b]Invisible[/b] packs - What ever you put in this pack will not show when you are selling to a vendor and will not get sorted when you click sort inventory.


Depositing
Use the "Deposit All Collectibles" often; you will find it when you click the little gear icon in your inventory. This will move all your collectible items from your inventory (besides those stored in invisible bags/packs and Safe boxes) to the collectible tab in your bank.

Compacting
Use the "compact" feature to rearrange your inventory; you will find it when you click the little gear icon in your inventory. This will stack all things that can be stacked as one as one and move them all to the top.

Displaying a single inventory
If you just want to see one big bag instead of the small bags, packs and boxes click on the gear icon on the inventory screen. You will find an option that removes the separation
