I'm sure there's people that have all of them. There were people running around with a legendary weapon a month after game released. The game is several years old now.

I don't even know anyone in game with less than 3-4 or so legendaries, most of them have far more. A friend of mine decided to make Astralaria on a whim the other day, and 24 hours after the decision she had completed it.

I probably could've afforded a legendary by now if I stuck to one character, but alongside with my main I have a fair number of alts who also need stuff like armor & nice hairstyles. Played since pre-launch, haven't had any precursor drops. I actually have some of the things ready, like Gift of Mastery and 77 clovers. Stuff like 250 T6 mats or 500 deadly blooms or ancient wood planks won't probably happen any time soon. The precursor quest looks quite an expensive ordeal as well. But it'll be a nice long (really long in my case) term project, I guess.

As I predicted, I am completely unable to decide on a race for my Druid. I think I made like three different humans, a norn, and a sylvari last night and deleted all of them.

I have two precursors, one of which I've had for nearly three years. I amassed all of the requisite components ages ago, spending a considerable amount of time and money in the process. Then I stalled, because it turns out that one of the components for any legendary is a large amount of "don't suck." Sadly, I suck big time - so I've never managed to collect anywhere near enough dungeon tokens to complete the task. The precursors I have are for The Predator and Kudzu, requiring several complete runs of Crucible of Eternity and Twilight Arbor respectively. Since launch, I've managed to complete one run of each, both with incredibly disorganised and irritable PUGs. I've just seen on the wiki that there's such a thing as WvW reward tracks, so it looks like there's been an alternative all along. Then again, I've not done anything in wubwub since it stopped being a requirement for world completion 😁

Yeah, lots of goons like running dungeons. I doubt you'd have trouble getting enough runs in to get your tokens.

If you don't want to do PvE, don't want to do wvW, don't want to do PvP, what loving wonder is it that you don't have end-game rewards that most people never get?

Has anyone here done the collections for the vanilla legendary precursors? I'm thinking maybe I might finally make a run to make Bolt or Sunrise one of these days. I remember back when the collections first came out it seemed like they weren't much cheaper than just buying the precursor on the TP, but it looks like prices might've dropped some.

Tier 2 should still be the biggest money and time sink, try looking at gw2efficiency to get an estimate in price at least!

I'm working on Bolt I right now. It's pretty easy if you look it up. Only one I have left to do is the one and only one that requires a fractal completion. As far as I can tell, Bolt II is the one that would be expensive. A quick estimate puts the cost of Bolt II at about 440g. Zap currently lists for between 850g and 950g.

Well, that part, at least, is almost within my budget already, so that's encouraging. (Obviously the rest of the legendary crafting is going to take a lot more gold than that but, hey, it's a start.) Cool, might as well give it a try. And thanks for the pointer to gw2efficiency, I keep forgetting that site exists.

Just don't forget that collections can generally be annoying for whatever reasons and doing all of those collections is solely for the precursor part of making a legendary. Honestly these days I think I would prefer to simply save up the gold for most precursors but I suppose it really depends on which legendary you're working on. Bolt would definitely be one of the most expensive ones due to swords being such a common weapon for nearly every profession. If you ever work on a low to mid-priced precursor for a legendary though I would highly recommend skipping the collections unless you're really that bored or obsessed with doing them. I know this sounds really obvious but if you need gold, remember that dailies give you 2g a day, dungeon paths give 5g for every 8 unique paths (repeatable) and fractals pay pretty well, especially at higher levels or farming the molten boss fractal. Don't buy gems with gold and refrain from buying poo poo off the TP and your gold will build up fairly quick these days. Also harvest any/all nodes you spot no matter how tiresome it gets because it does eventually pay off.

I'm sitting on like 350g right now and I just remembered I have some old Black Lion weapon skins that I was holding onto in case they ever went up in price that I should check in on. Pretty sure they won't actually go up in price anymore (it looks like BL skins never really go out of circulation anymore) so I should probably just dump them before they drop further. I actually never really got into fractals much when I played before, so if goons run them pretty frequently (I would assume they do), then I should probably jump in on some of those. How far can you go in fractals without agony resist these days, now that all the fractal levels have changed? Harrow fucked around with this message at 19:03 on Aug 3, 2016 |

Pretty sure they won't actually go up in price anymore (it looks like BL skins never really go out of circulation anymore) so I should probably just dump them before they drop further. I think 25 is the first level with Agony now. Quick-guide to Agony: First, starter Agony facts -All Ascended gear (except Amulets) comes with 1 slot you can shove an Agony Infusion into -Backpacks and Rings can be Infused, giving them an extra slot -Rings can be Attuned, given them an extra slot (Rings can be both Infused and Attuned for 3 slots) -You'll want 150 AR eventually for Mai Trin 100 -You have 18 Agony slots with Full Ascended if you Infuse backpack and Infuse+Attune rings With all that in mind, the cheapest setup available for 150 AR on full Ascended is 6 +9 Infusions and 12 +8 Infusions. Full Ascended is kind of a pain to get though, and a good starter baseline is to get your Ascended Backpack, Rings, Accessories, and Weapons and shove 6 +9s into your Rings and +8s everywhere else. You'll have 102 Agony Resist, and can get another +15 with the Agony Resist potion, which will get you to 117, which is enough to do T3s and a third of the available T4s. If you do T3s every day and the T4s when you can, you'll be rolling in gold and Ascended gear in no time. If you need Shards of Crystallized Mists Essence for Infusing things, farm the start of Volcanic 82 (you have to mow down a bunch of Grawl), restarting the fractal right after the opening fight with the swarm of Grawl is done. You don't need any Agony Resist for it, and if you ask in guild chat then Goons will open up an instance of it for you. It takes roughly 5 Shards to Infuse 2 rings if you break down Shards into Globs and Globs into Vials as appropriate. E: If you need people to run lowbie fractals with you (this applies to everyone!) then ask in guild chat. For the experienced fractalers, if someone asks in guild chat for help with baby fractals, GO HELP THEM! The more people we have around who can run T3s and T4s the easier it is to get goon groups going for them, and goon groups >>> pubbies because goons (generally) listen when you explain boss mechanics.
