Guild Wars 2

Hi guys, just posting this for some advice.

I’m trying to save up to buy The Colossus and I currently have 210 gold. As of today I’m about 100 gold away from buying it from the TP.

Now I guess I have a couple of options;

1. Keep saving and buy it from the TP.
2. Try my luck with the MF with rares.
3. Try my luck with the MF with exotics.

What would you guys do?

idk about exotics and the MF you will drain your cash rather fast at about 12g per try (assuming theres exotic hammers 3g or cheaper) so really you’ll only get like 19 trys then another 2 from the the ones that arnt the colossus, 21 trys at something that is estimated to only be a 1% chance (as speculate by people who try to guess) you are cutting your odds down to .21% which is rather low odds when gambling 210g.
rares might be worse i believe.
Assuming you can get lvl 80 rare hammers for 40s or cheaper thats roughly 525 hammers or 131 trys + 32 more from hammers given back (unless of course it gives you an exotic) and say it doesn’t for maths sake thats 163 trys at a speculated .015% chance of return. .015%x1.63= . 02445 chance of getting what you want. which is why people tend to attack it with rares at up to 1500 trys +.
So logical option to me is grind the 100g in dungeons take tokens and buy exotic hammers when you can throwing every 4 in the forge by the time you have the 100g needed youll either have the prereq or can buy it.

Do it the safe way and buy it of the trade post.
If you try using the MF and dont get anything your basically screwed.

On thursday 20th December I got Dawn from a custom buy order for 301g from the trade post. I was lucky and got it before the price went up again. However, at that time if I were to buy it right away it would have cost me 350-380g.

So I suggest you put in a custom buy order and see if you get lucky, and you will have saved a little gold at the very least.

Thanks for your input guys, I kind of figured I should not take the gamble and try to save the gold to buy it.

Just put in a buy order of 210 gold and currently I have the highest order, so wish me luck!
