With the upcoming update of Guild Wars 2, the first significant changes for the expansion “Heart of Thorns” will take effect. One of these adjustments cleans up the wallet and gives it a much clearer design.
All Important Information at a Glance
So far, the game’s wallet has been relatively hidden – either you open it through the hero view or via a dedicated button in the inventory. In the future, all currencies will be displayed directly in the inventory and additionally according to the respective environment: If your hero is in the Fractals of the Mists, then the Fractal Relics will be displayed, while if you are playing PvP, you will see the available Honor Badges.
If desired, you can now also filter your wallet by specific currencies and display them permanently. A click on the individual exchange mediums immediately shows where to obtain them – this should make it easier for newcomers to understand the necessary game content.
Item Conversion
To declutter the players’ inventories a bit, some items will in the future be converted into currencies: Flawless Fractal Relics, WvW Tournament Tickets, Geodes, and Bandit Crests will no longer take up space and will automatically be found in the wallet after the update.
Goodbye Skill Points
As skill points will also belong to the past with the upcoming update (they will only be obtained up to level 80), another currency is being introduced: The Spirit Shards. These shards will now be obtainable from all sources that previously awarded skill points. Scrolls of Knowledge will also be converted into Spirit Shards, which can, as usual, be exchanged with Miyani for useful materials.
