isairoscherr: Nerfs so bad we went from measuring in per hour to per week (JK)

shakeweller: I'm amazed how this is still this good even after multiple nerf waves

QuadXBeatz: These keys should be a wallet currency like most of every other key in the game. Imagine the stress of losing your keys because of a bad internet connection or randomly being disconnected from the server

Anbugozu: I hate the 'Fah' Sound. Just there for no reason tbh =P. It's a great informative video, not a dumb short =)

krison0225: It went back up because the insane cost of the new leggies lol.

TwelveTables: Awesome work. Very accurate analysis of mirror farm and it's current state.

Fun fact the video from 14:00 is my gameplay for the guide route before markers were made. So this isn't as optimized and a lot of mistakes were made. Once lady Elyssa makes the test pack. I go back and re-do every movement section to find which mount is the fastest between two points. Just trying to go fast.

sre911: Bro I want to see you do the first map with medium chests in 5 minutes lmao that is absolutely impossible

devsaber4148: Before the newest update was quite ok. You had the same amount of ecto (100) doing only 2 maps (~15 min) and chests were static. It was boring but bearable. With 3 maps is annoying, if it ends up with 4 maps it will be painfull. On the other hand, without this farm, I probably would've quit Guild Wars 2 by now. Progress with legendaries would be just too slow for me. Not to mention saving up gold for other quality-of-life features, like the template system, which btw. sucks (not enough templates per character, crazy expensive and has unnecessary split into equipment templates and build templates).I also buy gems—I understand the studio has to make money somehow. But I’d prefer to spend them on cool skins rather than wasting a fortune on templates.

jihui97: Ever since the first nerf, alt gathering coral/verdant herbs came back as top g/h farms, mirror became more of an ecto farm than g/h farm.

With the latest nerf, unless you need map currency, It's easier to do higher g/h farm and just buy ectos on tp.

simboalex: I actually think this is broken from the design. I would remove the key gain from opening the mirrors, only be able to gain keys from events(no rifts, no vets, champs etc.) and probably make it into a currency like all the other maps. This way if you play the events it's an extra reward for playing them and occasionally you could spend the keys as you want, do a full run to open everything, just open some large or whatever you want. This would benefit the maps as people would return to do events and metas to get keys not just to do the runs.

wmz3283: if you do only the medium chests in the first two zones, my own experience is that you get around 60 pieces of rare gear, which won't give you 100 ectos.

JoshuaStamford: I just identified 3 stacks of rare unidentified gear yesterday and proced the Twilight precursor Dusk, never knew that was possible. This farm would have to be nerfed into the ground before it'd lose its value considering time invested for items gained. Just the greens alone have facilitated all the magic essence I could ever need for both MF cap and Gifts of research, not to mention all the charms, symbols and lucent motes. I've made 300-400g a month off mystic facets for the last 2 months in a row, now I'm making Mystic motes and aspects for legendary runes and sigils and soon that'll just be another gold farm.

pedroschuaiquert9229: Since you are from South America too, do you experienced any ping issues with the targets or they are just buggy? I usually don't go for this farm because take more time doing the minigame than anything else, never get a proper way to explode them correctly

miasmic_mephiticus: excellent farm, it single handedly killed ecto crafting which is just awful gameplay

devinm524: No thanks, it cycles daily so you can't do it continuously, which means to get the most I have to invest another hour and a half of chest running after doing all my other daily gathering/alt parking/eod hearts which take an hour and a half that's at minimum 3 - 3.5 hours per day dedicated to wealth generation and coupled with the fact that they locked it up with a damn target minigame...

I'm glad they nerfed it cause it was burning me out, nowadays I'd rather not play than jump through so many hoops

It really highlights my biggest gripe with daily reset being at 5pm for me which means I'm either frantically trying to get it done the night before or risk running out of time the day of...

Why they didn't make it reset at midnight in one of the NA timezones is beyond my understanding

geromewypukol: Did you ever make a video with the intention of an item price crashing down so you can buy them yourself? xD
