Guild Wars 2

So, I just hit level 80 and to keep me occupied, I thought I’d craft myself a weapon. I chose Foefire’s Essence cause it isn’t nearly as much of a hassle as the Legendary weapons. Anyway, as I was looking over what I had to gather up to craft it, I noticed that nothing seemed really too difficult, except one thing. 100 charged lodestones. How the heck am I supposed to get 100 charged lodestones? They go for around 3 gold each on the trading post, so buying 100 of them is absolutely out of the question. Can anyone give me any suggestions on how to acquire them?

They drop from sparks and air eles. Best place to grind them is Malchor’s Leap. Either temple of Lyssa or Dwayna, but they have to be uncontested.

For the most part it’s pointless to grind them, the drop rate is VERY low. You’re better off just grinding the gold to buy them. You can also try your luck at the Orrian karma boxes, they also drop them.

Easiest and fastest way is just to grind the gold to buy them. Hate to say it.

They also drop from the Crucible of Eternity dungeon.

But whether you collect them yourself or buy them, you’re still looking at ~300 gold in items. You might want to look for a different weapon to craft if that is too much for you.

find stuff to do that earns you 5-6g a day, and buy 2 per day in less than 2 months you will be finished.

Vision of the Mists is a nice weapon that’s fairly cheap to craft.

‘Almost as much of a hassle as legendary’ – Don’t kid yourself, kid.

Twilight is 1600G upwards. – if you buy the precursor, bear in mind you could sink and infinite sum of money into the forge for nothing whilst trying for this.

Foefires is around 500G to craft – with no RNG or luck required.

Just thought I would correct you – that being said Foefires is one awesome weapon.
100 charged… same as what is needed for the legendary GS sunrise – its not out of reach, it just takes time.

charge cores/lodestones drop from FOTM daily chest as well, and they also drop other lodestone types and items you can sell for cash, unless you hate FOTM, but doing a level 10 or 20 FOTM daily is not that hard.
