Guild Wars 2

Ok, so by now we know pretty much all the recipes for Legendaries and their Gift components. But my question is: Do we need to pay the 10 Gold for the corresponding Gift (ie. Unicorn Statue or Gift of Metal) before we can throw the items into the Forge? Or can we just throw in the necessary ingredients and get the specific Gift?

As is I throw 250 Orichalcum Ingots, 250 Mithril Ingots, 250 Darksteel Ingots, and 250 Platinum Ingots and get Gift of Metal without knowing the recipe in game.

I’m trying to save money, but at the same time, I don’t want to lose all the expensive items in the Forge and not get my item due to a technicality or bug.

The crafted gifts you are talking about are crafting recipes, NOT mystic forge recipes like some other components of the legendaries, refer to “Gifts and Statues” at http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Legendary

Oh shoot. My bad. I kept thinking Legendaries = Forge. Sorry for my nub question.
