Translation
Collecting all 18 pieces of crafted ascended gear rewards you with a “unique exotic weapon of your choice”, accountbound

Is this the ‘scavenger hunt’ we’ve been waiting for? ;|

also possible we will see a huge spike in linen

its probably a new skin.
anet has openly said theyve added a bunch of unique stuff for completing collections.

if some of the rewards are randomized then precursors might be in the mix, but not likely at a drop rate that matters.

The tooltip fo rthe weapon chest says einzigartig=unique.

Precursors arent unique.

How aren’t they unique? They’re a special class of exotics that separates it from the rest. Although you can go both ways on the interpretation of this, including that we’re getting a new set of skins that we haven’t seen before.

With unique, i mean the statement in the tooltip, like on ascended rings. Items that you can only equip 1 of.

True, but I don’t see why Anet would want to point that out, as if it was a positive thing or a feature.

^ can confirm that, but I wouldn´t rule precursors out yet.

The achievement´s flavor text in the screen shot reads “Steigt zur Handwerker-Legende auf”, which roughly translates into “ascend to become a craftsman-legend”. * wink * (naaah I don´t believe it myself ;)).

EDIT: nope, the dream died https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=fRJHl67jGZ8#t=184, just recolored standard weapon and weird looking zenith-style weapons.

Easier to reskin weapons than create new ones. With how many collection achievements they’re likely trying to push, I can see why theyre doing that.

Hi,

Just a quick clarification about the initial video: this is a preview of the September 2014 Feature Pack collection and it shows rewards that are unique to the collection feature, but they’re not precursors. These rewards are the named exotics that drop from Champion loot bags.
