Guild Wars 2

So Ive just recently hit 80 on my Guardian who is an armoursmith and weaponsmith and I currently levelling my thief which going to become my main.

I want to craft legendary daggers for him but Im not sure if that is possible with gifts etc.

Will I need to get 100% map completion on both toons to make 2 legendaries? If so, is it even possible to fully deck all your toons out with legendaries?

Also, is it worth going for legendaries, or am I just better off crafting Ascended?

1.) Yes you need to get 100% map completion on two toons if you want to make 2 legendaries

2.) Not possible due to weapon restrictions

3.) Legendaries are for cosmetics. You are better off making ascended if you just want BIS weapons.

You receive 2 gifts of exploration per map completion, so you can craft 2 legendaries with it.

All gifts for forging Legendaries are accound bound, so it doesnt matter who crafts the gifts or the weapon (which is soulbound on use only).

To make the legendary dagger, you also need 400 in Cooking.

^^^ totally forgot about 2 gifts per char

Legendaries are better than Ascended in that you have out of combat stat change — which is REALLY good if you ever wish to play multiple builds: Imagine the horror of grinding out two sets of Ascended gear just to play two build; or the horror of having to grind out a new set of Ascended because your build is nerfed or obsoleted by new skills/traits.

Also, imagine if a new tier of gear were introduced or the level cap were raised. Legendaries are guaranteed to be Best in Slot gear (I doubt even Anet would go back on their word about this). So one enormous grind can save you from possibly multiple smaller grinds.

Disclaimer: I personally suspect Anet will introduce more grind (without resorting to level cap increase or new tier of gear) via infusion slots — by making available higher and higher stat infusions over time. That way they get to continue the vertical grind while technically keeping their promises. This means even if you get Legendary gear, you haven’t escaped the gear treadmill.

Every weapon has at least one legendary version — so it is possible for a toon to have every legendary that his/her profession allows.

It is technically possible to make a char for world completion, deposit gifts in the bank, delete char, make a new one, go for completion, rinse and repeat. It takes a long time, but that would let you craft an infinite number of legendaries.
…or you might consider buying some off the TP (the cheapest ones – those that cost the most are horribly overpriced and you’d be better off crafting them directly)
