The Guild Wars 2 gem exchange lets you convert gold to gems and gems to gold at a floating market rate. This page shows the live rate from the official Guild Wars 2 API and a two-way calculator so you can quickly check what your gold or gems are worth.
Buying gems with gold and selling gems for gold use slightly different rates (a market spread), so the calculator uses each direction's current rate. Rates also move a little with the amount exchanged.
Frequently asked questions
- How much gold is 800 gems in GW2?
- It depends on the live exchange rate, which floats with the market. Use the Gems to Gold side of the calculator on this page to convert any gem amount to gold at the current rate.
- Is it better to buy gems with gold or buy gold with gems?
- The exchange has a spread, so you always lose a little converting either way. Check both directions here: convert only when the rate is favourable for what you actually need.
- Where does the gem exchange rate come from?
- Directly from the official Guild Wars 2 commerce API, the same rate you see on the in-game gem exchange. This page refreshes it every few minutes.
