Dragon Crystal Potion change

Hey, it seems that with the Bound by Blood update the Dragon Crystal Potion changed and no longer gives you stats similar to a classic Sharpening Stone/Tin of Fruit Cake, only a +10% damage against branded. I went to check it and I can confirm you no longer gain any Power from it. BackIsBachus (talk) 09:02, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Damn that sucks! Thanks for letting me know, it's not even listed in the patch notes! Dak393 (talk) 09:54, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Yeah honestly I stumbled on this page because your' New Player Guide is my default place to take the Vabbi website that I always forget to bookmark and I saw this page, shared it with some friends, and we ended up looking at this item randomly ^^ 90.116.91.86 15:16, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Budget Section for Utilities

Hi Dak393, love your guide. Could you please consider adding a budget section for the utilities as well? Thanks! AdjutantAvocado (talk) 03:36, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, glad it can help! Unfortunately there are not a lot of utility options, many of the ones used have no equivalents at all and no lower tiers. I could add some more to the normal sharpening stones and crystals but imo 6s snd 4s per 30m is good enough to be "budget" already so no real point in doing the lower tier as well (below 80) but if you were interested things like Hardened Sharpening Stone would fit the ultra cheap options. While I don't mind adding a couple more options I also don't want to make it too large, take a look at the Utility item and tell me what you think would be another option worth adding, you'll also get a feel for just how limited many of them really are Dak393 (talk) 04:07, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Perfect, that's the exact budget option I was looking for. The condi and the support utilities already have some ultra-cheap options. AdjutantAvocado (talk) 04:50, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

It might be worth your time to cross-reference here to see which ones work best with your stats. SarielV 04:54, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

@AdjutantAvocado Just remember that the Potent Superior Sharpening Stones are already cheap on the TP since they last 60m it's only ~6s per 30m right now which is almost as cheap as condi is. Dak393 (talk) 06:00, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Dragon's Breath Bun

Hey Dak, thanks for this guide! \o I use Dragon's Breath Bun a lot in fractals (e.g. Siren's Reef), dungeons and in Open World, and I think it's a useful addition to the Power section. What do you think? Onox (talk) 22:14, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

Also works in wvw making it a great choice for packrats :P -Chieftain Alex 22:34, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
