Guild Wars 2

After a long break from MF i have decided to craft some lvl 80 exo staffs and put them in to MF.

I have noticed the putting 4x lvl80 weapon gives me exo below lvl80 (75-79) and only a few lvl 80 weapons.

When i’m going to MF with lvl 80 rares the result is always lvl 80 rare or lvl 80 exo.

I should always get a lvl 80 exo form 4xlvl80 exo weapons not lvl 75.

They have changed the system to have a higher skin variety as rewards.

They have changed the system to have a lowest chance to get precursore.

Afaik it didn’t change the precursor chance

They did, indirectly. Now that you get below-80 weapons, tossing them back into the forge will result in lower chances for precursors, compared to all 80’s.

The chance at a precursor remained the same. They did increase the pool of potential exotics that you may receive. Let me repeat, the rate of precursors is the same.

I actually thought it was increased slightly…..

Nugkill did this after they changed the output of the forge. some highlights:
11,777 forges with rare weapons
chance of precursor was still 1 in about 800 (so he got 14.7 precursors)
20% chance to upgrade rare → exotic
8-9% chance of getting an exotic lower than level 80
4% chance of named exotic
4 level 75’s give same results as 4 level 80’s

So, if you throw in 4 rare weapons, this is what you get out:
80% chance of rare
8.5% chance of exotic lower than level 80
7.5% chance of non-named level 80 exotic
4% chance of named level 80 exotic
0.125% chance of precursor

what the update did was fix a bug and shift it from 16% chance of non-named to 7.5% chance of non-named and 8.5% chance of sub-80.

Yeah….that’s simply FUD info there……as long as the average is above 68 (or something like that) the chance remains the same.

It only affects exotic outputs; there’s no changes for rares or other rarities. It only affects the L80s; other output levels show up using the old formula.

And, as noted above, evidence suggests that nothing changed about precursor chances.
