GW2: Raising your magic find, easily

Just a quick tip, today. Lately, I’ve been working on raising my magic find. I probably get a thousand or so points of magic find from salvaging drops every day. That might seem like a lot, but amount needed for each level keeps scaling, so going to MF 100 is a little harder than MF 90.

Salvaging drops just isn’t enough after a while. So what to do?

You could salvage Globs of Ectoplasm, but that’s kinda costly. They do throw out quite a bit of MF, but it’s not worth it. Besides you need those globs for other stuff.

Nope, there’s a better, less costly solution. Essence of Luck – the stuff you double-click on to raise your MF – can be salvaged from all fine and masterwork items – armor, jewelry, weapons, whatever, it all has a chance of giving up Essence of Luck when it’s salvaged.

If you want to raise your MF, go to the trading post, look for any fine gear – usually cheaper than masterwork – buy it up and salvage it.
