How to Cultivate Luck in Guild Wars 2

When you think of resource farming in MMORPGs, you don’t usually think about how you can farm luck. In Guild Wars 2, the luck mechanic has become second nature to players, with some players having enough in their bank slots to cap their Magic Find twice. In this guide, we’ll explain the best ways to farm luck in Guild Wars 2.
Recovery
Looting fallen enemies is something most players are familiar with when it comes to MMORPGs, but with Guild Wars 2 the ability to scavenge or destroy unwanted items such as armor, weapons, and trinkets is something. something that gives the loot system a unique advantage.
Scavenging is based on the different types of scavenging kits you can get, and the better the quality of the kit, the better your chances of getting rare crafting materials. There are several types, but the main ones are:
- Crude recovery kit
- Basic Recovery Kit
- Fine recovery kit
- Companion Recovery Kit
- Master’s Recovery Kit
- Mystical Recovery Kit
- Black Lion Recovery Kit
When you use these kits, you will instantly break down any non-soulbound equipment and with this you will get various basic crafting materials such as ores, woods and of course luck. The more you collect, the more luck you will get. This means you’ll need to find a lot of loot, which is often best done by farming in certain areas like in dragon fall, silver waste, and running Meta events on different maps. Running Boss Trains is also an effective method of accessing loot bags, and looking under the LFG tool can help you find different Commanders who run them.
Lunar new year

The Lunar New Year event usually takes place in January every year and features a ton of events and activities for players to enjoy. This is also a great opportunity to farm luck-boosting items that can stack on top of your current magic find. The Lunar New Year event gives you a plethora of different items ranging from foods that give 25% magic find bonus to fireworks. You will also be able to obtain Divine Lucky Envelopes which will contain different types of Luck Essences, but they are limited to a maximum of 19 per day.
