Make sure to have view interactable items turned on guys! makes it a lot easier to see the chests.

This exponential infusion growth was pretty fine with agony, as you could distribute low infusions around your total slots and make it to 150 without thousands of gold. This however is not fine. We have 1 slot to use with the infusion (or two, correct if wrong), making getting past +15 a nightmare even if it is account wide progression.

150 agony is mandatory to do all the fractal content, this is literally just a tiny quality of life change that gives less movespeed than just giving yourself swiftness

​@@90Rush That is correct. However, if your boost is high enough it CAN actually overcome the in-combat speed debuff. (There are, however, alternate methods of achieving that without needing to spend thousands of gold. One example is Superspeed, which always sets your speed to 400 units, the absolute fastest you can go in-game under normal conditions, which is nearly double your base movement speed.) So say, if you had, say, a high enough Swim Speed infusion + the account boost, and then add Swiftness et al on top of that, supposedly you can get your speed to like 390-something, which is near Superspeed-levels of hustle even while you're within combat. It's impressive, although again, you do have to balance that against the insane cost plus the fact that it's, y'know, underwater so you won't be getting the benefit of a majority of the time. ;P

@@gromimomi8486 If it is unattainable, people will simply just skip it. This is by no means unattainable, but it's a super mundane thing to accomplish. I don't mind having grindy things to do, I think Legendaries are perfect for that, allowing players to spend thousands of hours on. This is not that, this should be scaled better to encourage people to actually put some effort into it. That is my opinion.

it is a good point to note that bc there is no Legendary Breather at current if you put the infusion on to a breather, it permanently on that 1 breather so if you have multiple armor set with rebreathers (like me) you would have to by multiple of the infusions for each build.

The math: 1 "+15" = 32 "+10" 1 "+20" = 1024 "+10" 1 "+25" = 32768 "+10" 1 "+30" = 1,048,576 "+10" Price is the same for going up by +1 each time. I was able to complete the "blood in the water" achievement twice last night (started with 2). I was able to complete the "dive master" twice as well.

I JUST did a month or two of daily diving for that sweet bubble aquagear and NOW I get to continue but now for gold!!🎉

I'm a little confused how it works. When you buy the account-bound infusion, can you just equip it to every character like you would a legendary, or do you need to buy one per character? I'm guessing since the other upgrades are 'services' it affects any infusions you have either way. Which if you need one infusion per character, is where the savings come in, since you don't have to buy a +20 or +25 for each char, just multiple +15's. (And aquabreathers with infusion slots.)

You know, I wasn't expecting these. But maybe they perfectly fit the [headcanon] navy-stealth Daredevil charr character I've had all this time. 😂

Slightly confused on the infusion itself. When it says account wide, if I have characters without the infusion on they will get the benefits from the other toons that do on the same account? If so, the effects stack?

i cant be bothered with this tbh, just like i cant be bothered with acquiring rebreathers for all my characters, i was hoping maybe theyd just get rid of them but i think this makes it pretty clear its here to stay

Im kinda mad at myself cuz ive been deleting the key after finding out they were for some chest somewhere and i couldnt be bothered with that. Well now tobsave them and use them whenever i get around to even equip my alts with underwater weapons.

I already got a +21 regular swim speed infusion. Do these stack with the account bound ones?

Do swim speed infusions stack at all?

I didn't stack those keys, because I regulary use them to get those infusions and trade them for gold. It was already profitable, but now it's triple the price it used to be. :) 3:40 I was under the impression that you can't open the same chest twice a day. Meaning that you can do this achievement once a day max. But maybe Arena Net changed it?

From what I understand, the swim infusions increase your underwater combat speed.

The funniest thing about these things is that there's still a movement speed cap of +400 u/sec, or an additional +40% movement speed. Swiftness is +33%, so with Swiftness and a cheap +10 infusion you're already at the cap, making anything higher than a +10 pointless.

With this, the beachwear and the serpent theme stuff for the deluxe+, I‘m getting worried JW might secretly be underwater for half of it… Like, what do we need this for otherwise?

The math is 2^(n-1), where n is the number of levels you want to ascend your infusions.

Can get starter easily, but second account buff is a little hard and the next buff after will cost about 16K g.

Does it work on water mounts or their speed stays the same?

@22darthmaul22

6 күн бұрын

Mounts aren't really affected by any movement speed changes. You can be immobilized on a raptor but still run at full speed.

I worked on getting a higher level swim speed infusion for my main character long ago when they were first introduced, but yesterday I looked for it on that character and couldn’t find it. I’ll look through all 26 of my other characters today for it, as I want to get the account wide version. I also have about 65 of the keys, so I can open up a bunch of the chests. I hope that this is an indication that they are working on an aquatic expansion next, perhaps around the Isles of Janthir. The underwater combat in GW2 is the best in any MMORPG, but they haven’t updated it since the game was first released, so I’m hoping that they will give us something great for underwater gameplay in the future. Edit: Did they say how the account wide infusion works? Do you just use it on one character and it applies to all, or is it a Legendary infusion?

@snakeman830

You need to purchase an infusion for each aquabreather you want it to work with. The "account-wide" part is the upgrades to those infusions (+20,+25, and +30)

had 410 or so keys. took me 4 hours to open all of them but was able to get my +20 account wide upgrade

currently on fast farm TacO Tekkit - Sunken Treasure Hunter Farm is sitting on 188g/h

Been saving these keys since 2018...

Ok, so basically, each character has to wear the account-wide version to benefit from the account-wide bonuses and upgrades? Then what difference does it make with regular ones if each character has to wear it? I mean, ignoring the bonuses? Also, you said that it will add existing swim bonus with account-wide version? How's that possible, I'm confused, if we have to infused the account-wide version which will replace the regular version?

woah I have thousands of them! with a+25 swim infusion sloted, gonna be rich!

Swim event incoming.... Everybody is so excited....

I'll wait and see what this even gives but I can't see going past +20 for almost everyone being worth their time. It is nice there's an easy way to get aqua breathers at 80 nkw though.

This seems kind of pointless since unlocking under water skimmer is way less gold, time and effort. i don't understand who this is for...

Like..... outside of base game under water story instances and the Aquatic Ruins fractal, when do you need this? The "Skimming the Depths" mastery exists for a reason and takes 20 mins or so to unlock.

Ok cool. My main account has a guide for the chest locations. I have about 4K of the regular SS infusions just sitting on a toon. I thought someday they might make a Leggie Airbreather and they would be needed so I just held onto them. The Rainy Day has come!!! Thank you!!

My skimmer is account wide speed boost under water, cool to have the speed boost swimming unless more water content incoming, just something to complete I suppose. Thanks for the Guide though, as usual very informative and short.

If they didn't change it you have to open the chest with a lvl 80 char, else you don't get an swim infusion from that chest

I always tossed those keys taking up inventory space. "Swimspeed infusion? does anyone care about this? everyone hates being underwater... DELETE"

2, 10's = 15... yea sounds like Arenanet maths. Sounds like a HUGE expense fir a little speed boost for just water areas. So what's the total, for everything? Of course, I have zero keys because for some reason these were not considered a currency, so took real inventory slots,...

Why can't they just make it a Passive Account boost which doesn't need you to stuff another Infusion into the gear anyway? They already did this with Fractal account boosts, what makes this one so special that it has to be another infusion you need to buy for each character?
