The Best Ways to Farm Map Currencies in Guild Wars 2

Map currencies are the integral part of the Guild Wars 2 game. You can use various types of currencies in the GW2 game to buy or trade items for. Currencies work just like they do in the real world. But you have to make sure you are using the right currency for the right job. Apart from that, each and every currency is unique and can’t be just found anywhere lying around for you to stumble upon. 

Same applies to the map currencies. Map currencies are one of many types of currencies available in the Guild Wars 2 game. Just like any other currency it can be stored in a wallet where you can keep a track of the amount. But there’s a catch. As the name suggests, Map currencies can be obtained by completing events on the map. Then the acquired coins can only be used to buy items from vendors available on that specific map. But, that shouldn’t be an issue, right? Ofcourse, you will get items that will help in your journey, so, what’s the harm in investing them right then and there.

In this article, we will be discussing how you can farm these map currencies in an easy and efficient manner. On this trip, where you will be collecting map currencies, we will be your guide and tell you all the details that you need to know before starting this journey. So, let’s begin then.

More products and cheaper pricing are associated with higher tiers.

These are all the current map currencies available in the Guild Wars 2 game that can be farmed. Now that we have discussed them, let’s look at the ways you can farm more of them. 

Farm through Metas and World Bosses

Metas are important as they simply drop a lot of valuable items, not specifically gold, but gears and items. Worry not if you feel like if it’s not gold then what’s the purpose of it. Map Currencies are equally important. DragonStorm, Dragonfall, Drizzlewood, Silverwastes, Tangled Depths and Auric Basin are some of the most important metas for farming map currencies as well as other precious items.

We have also mentioned the World Bosses in the title, so let’s discuss it. World Bosses are important event bosses that you will encounter almost everywhere you can go in the World of Tyria. Unlike metas that can be used multiple times a day to farm, World Bosses gives you a chest that can be looted just once for the day. Upon defeating them you get a bonus chest as well. World Bosses could be the answer if you are looking to get more map currencies. But in order to get the rare gear you will have to level up your player to Lv. 40. Apart from just map currencies, you can also get rare items, gears, or a crafting material. You will be required to spend Gold at various instaces while moving ahead in the game. So we suggest to get enough of Gold stocked in your account.

There are some other ways like opening chests, playing nodes, or simply just buying the map currencies (which should be your last resort). But these techniques are not all that useful. So,it’s better you stick to the basics and complete the various map and world boss events that you encounter. Don’t do too much of it, so that you get tired of it. Enjoy the journey.
