Guild Wars 2 Currency exchange system is an excellent feature that allows players to exchange real-world money for in-game gold and vice versa. However, the system can be confusing for some players. In this guide, we'll explain how the gem exchange system works and how you can get the best conversion rates for both gem buyers and sellers.

Supply and demand determine the prices of gems on the exchange, which means that they are constantly changing. It's important to understand that the gem exchange has a large tax of about 16%, so any transaction between two players through the exchange will remove about 32-33% of the total gold or gems involved.

For gem buyers, the best way to save gold is to buy gems when demand is low. The prices of gems often increase during gem store sales, so it's wise to purchase them a couple of months before the sale. Additionally, it's a good idea to buy gems when they are cheap, even if you don't have an immediate use for them. When buying gems, you can refresh the exchange window a few times to find the best prices. If you're buying a large quantity, use the custom exchange option to buy them all at once, which will force a refresh after you complete your transaction.

For gem sellers, the best way to make a profit is to sell gems when demand is high. The prices of gems are highest when new cosmetic items become available, as well as during sales on black line keys and account upgrades. Like gem buyers, sellers can refresh the exchange window to find better prices. If you have a large quantity of gems to sell, use the custom exchange option to sell them all at once, which will also force a refresh after you complete your transaction.

In summary, the gem exchange system in Guild Wars 2 can help players support the development of the game while accessing the cash store with in-game gold. To get the best conversion rates, gem buyers should purchase gems when demand is low, refresh the exchange window, and use the custom exchange option when buying a large quantity. Gem sellers should sell their gems when demand is high, refresh the exchange window, and use the custom exchange option when selling a large quantity. By following these tips, you can save and/or make a lot of gold with the gem exchange system.
