Within the first couple of weeks after launch the market was already fighting over prices on Legendary precursor weapons. Every day more and more were going up and the price going down. Now within the past week (or so) it seems that every type of legendary precursor is going extinct. Before last patch I had had a guildy who decided to go for the Greatsword proc and he got it on his 4th try with 71-78-78-80 exotic’s in mystic forge. Meanwhile reading all these people using rares as low as 65 with 80’s and getting it…
So I started to try my luck… trying exotic daggers, shortbows, and greatswords. 71,78,78,80. 71,80,80,80. It hasn’t made a difference. I have made probably 30+ ‘special named’ exotics but no precursor. I stopped trying exotics because it was too expensive and moved onto rares. I have gone through over 150 forges with 80,80,80,80 rare greatsword’s with no luck. Well into 100g+ spent and nothing to show for it.
I would say this is just extremely bad luck… but then I look at the market and see no precursors available for sale. I go on different forums and see tons of complaints from people in the same boat as me. No explanation from ArenaNet but a couple community manager posts giving their ‘opinion’ about patching sub-L76+ items from being able to craft precursor.
So… curious what all you guys have run into lately. And if a dev would post any facts on the matter that would be helpful too. Always great to add hope to dim area’s of the game that people are aspiring towards…
