I’m talking about the new back piece. I like the general idea of it and I’m hoping ANet is experimenting with it as one of the possible alternatives to precursor crafting/scavanger hunt. Thoughts?

I don’t think they work on precursors anymore. Why would they? “Everything works as intented.”

I thought we were hoping for a “scavenger hunt” for precursors, not a “needlessly time-gated grind, partially influenced by RNG or just buy the component… thing”.

The scavenger hunt would likely be time gated. Something like you need XX number of temple tokens that you can only get once per account per day.

I was thinking more along the lines of a variety of activities (yes, timegating and RNG included) and interesting challenges that’d take us all over the Tyria.
In order to get the back piece you need to finish the LS chapter, do a jumping puzzle, have 3 crafting masteries, do some world exploration, some timegated crafting (a great source of income btw) and several world events (Dry Top t4 or t5 and a bunch of Geodes).
Again, I find the concept quite interesting and wouldn’t mind if eventually we got something similar (on a much larger scale ofc.) for precursor crafting.
