Guild Wars 2

Ok it has been a week or two since I have used the Mystic Forge to do a Precursor attempt. I just save up 4 exotics and then toss them in.

When did they change that you have to use four of the same type of exotic (weapons with weapons, armor with armor, etc.) I know you used to be able to mix them up for a completely random chance but I cant find a patch note that says when it was changed. A link to the info would be wonderful

You are correct! I tried it out and wasn’t able to throw in 3 armor pieces with one weapon.

Sneaky, sneaky.

it had to have been within the last month or so but it isnt in the patch notes that i could fine.

WTF Anet?!

I don’t think I’ve ever been able to mix armors, trinkets, and weapons in the forge. If we’ve ever been able to…it’s news to me.

Ummm, I don’t think you have ever been able to mix and match exotics in the forge, its either 4 weapons or 4 armor pieces, and if you could its been along time since you could, as ive been throwing randoms in the forge for months, but never mixed, if you could, maybe its a bug that was introduced when they made it that you cannot forge WvW weapons.

i was able to about a month ago. even when you look at the wiki about precursors it mentions that of the four items you throw in the MF at least one has to be a weapon to get a chance of a weapon coming back out. That and I have read other posts about people trying different combos. Four items of exact same type produce that type (4 staves produce a staff), Four category produce same category (4 weapons produce a weapon), and Four rarity produce same or better rarity (4 rares produce a rare or exotic). Previously if you did just four items say 3 armor and a weapon you would produce either an armor piece or a weapon.

Recently it has been changed to not allow the last example. I just cant find the patch notes to prove it, but i know it happened.

Maybe it just doesnt work for exotics, i just tested it with rares (1 weapon, 3 armor) and got an earring back.

I’ve noticed that change after the winter patch was applied, I could not put 3 armor + 1 weap in MF.

Nothing has changed that i know of.

You could never mix exotics, only rare and lower tiers.
