Guild Wars 2

Hi guys, I just recently hit lvl 80 and I was wondering if there’s any certain things I should be doing every day/week to get the items for the legendary. I’m kinda overwhelmed with what to do. I’ve got about… 50 gold saved up. O_O

Well there is nothing you “should” do

But it does make it a bit easier to know the legendary you want to make. Some share things with others and some do not.

For example, I want Quip and iI checked the wiki to see what I would need. I started gathering all the mats and trying to get the gift of wood. At the same time I’m gathering money cause well 50 gold is not gonna be enough.

Just check out the wiki and it will tell you everything you need, also do the dailies and complete the map! You will also need certain crafting skills at 400 but they can be on other characters too.

Keen on making a legendary so soon eh? Get ready to become a world completionist!

The most obvious thing is to always do the dailies and monthlies. You will need both the Mystic Coins and karma that you get from those, for crafting clovers. From the economical point of view, crafting the 77 clovers should be a high priority task, because until you have done that you won’t know how many coins, T6 mats, obby shards, ecto and possibly other rare mats you’ll end up needing for your legendary (since the crafting process is based on RNG).

Also, you’ll need gold. Lots of it. There are several feasible options, so pick one that you like as long as you can crank out at least 10g per day.

If you are feeling lucky, consider making offerings to Zommoros a daily ritual. Flushing three rares’ or exotics’ worth of gold down the mystic toilet doesn’t feel half as bad when you do it little by little, compared to burning 300g in one go and not getting anything in return.

Anyway, good luck with the pursuit. Don’t forget to have fun in the process.

I would start with your gift of mastery (world completion, 525k karma, 500 badges of honor, and 200 skill points), then move onto your clovers and work for your two crafted gifts, as well as gift of magic.
Personally, I like to save precursor till last, but depending on the legendary, you might even want to get it first.

If you’re willing to wait for the possibility of the scavenger hunt being someday implemented, leave the precursor for last. Otherwise I’d suggest you go for it first. It’s an expensive goal, but prices have been generally going steadily up so the sooner you grab one the better. I’d advise against using the forge for the precursor because if you come out losing you might just give up on the legendary altogether. Some people may get it in their first shot, others may waste 1000g+ and never get anything.

Don’t forget to hit as many of the world bosses as you can each day since most if not all (at least the three dragon ones) can drop a precursor in the reward chest. Extremely slim chance for it to happen though. Probably the same chance as getting struck by lightning but you never know if you’ll get lucky. The 1 guaranteed rare per event per account per day also helps you stock up on the about 2 stacks of ectos you’ll need.

Some things you can do;
get 500 badges of Honor in WvW
Do world completion
Collect about 500 Glob’s of ectoplasm (do world bosses, dungeons or fractals)
Collect 250 of each Tier 6 Fine crafting material
Do dailies & monthly (karma jugs)
Enjoy the game

There’s more too it but if you can do that you’re at least halfway.

In the dropbox, look for any Legendary you might want to make and see how close you are by filling in the boxes.
