Guild Wars 2

So you have to combine 4 exotic weapons together to create the exotic weapon needed for a legendary. Can these weapons be crafted? I’m curious., I crafted four Berserkers Pearl Reavers, combined them in the mystic forge, and got…one Berserkers Pearl Reaver. It was kind of discouraging, i don’t feel like doing that again.

Uhm, try again. Uber low chance, but happens.

What, you mean mindlessly feeding the random number generator to get your ultimate item isn’t fun?

Oh right, sorry, I see what you did there.

You can also combine rare items, which have a lower chance to result in a pre-legendary, but are way cheaper to craft.

Also, you have to chance to get a regular exotic out of that, which is a nice (money) bonus. Since exotic is max rarity, one does not have that aspect when combining exotics.

I guess it all depends on how you look at it. People complain about the low chance of getting a pre-legendary however if it was easier to get you’d have the TP flooded with them….you’d essentially get 10 silver for one. Besides, the regular exotic sells for almost 4 gold and unless you’re buying ALL the mats for it from the TP you are still making mad coin.

The way I look at it….if I consider all the mats that I’ve used (purchased or gathered), combined with the TP listing price and maybe a bit of time spent on my part (labor if you will), and I still have a 20 silver to 1 gold profit I’m laughing. That’s a gold more than I had before I started.

Edit: Wanted to tack on that unless mobs are dropping more than 20 silver per kill I’ll be happy with the current state of things.
