This will give you between 5 and 12 Vials of Powerful Blood, which are currently worth over 24 silver on the Trading Post.

5 Philsopher’s Stones (purchased with Spirit Shards).

This is the process of changing one tier of materials into a higher tier in the Mystic Forge.įor example, you can use this method to turn Vials of Potent Blood (tier 5) into Vials of Powerful Blood (tier 6). Material promotion is the best way to turn Spirit Shards into gold. Then the progress bar resets, and the process repeats. When the XP progress bar is all filled up, instead of gaining a new level, you earn Spirit Shards. You may have noticed that your XP progress bar continues to fill up after you hit level 80. You can also earn Spirit Shards as a log-in reward, and every time your character “levels up” past level 80. After your character reaches level 80, they will start earning Spirit Shards as a drop from many different types of loot boxes. Spirit Shards are a form of currency which are stored in your account wallet. You will probably lose money trying to convert Spirit Shards into gold. Profit margins on material promotion are slim to none. Material prices have dropped significantly.
