Guild Wars 2

Most, if not all people I know want to make a legendary. Most, including me, have a very hard time to acquire our precursors. 2 days ago, I put 70g in rare hammers and tried my luck in the forge. I got nothing. So i said forget it, and decided to do it the old fashion way….oh wait…that means I have to either save up 300g(for the Colossus) or hunt for it in Orr which I have been doing for the past 2 month. That being said, these methods are bs.

This so called precursor hunt that I keep hearing about seems to be great. Lots want it, lots of people don’t want it and I can see why. Who wants the value of precursors going down to almost nothing when anyone can do this scavanger hunt and obtain them? Although most of the gifts to create a legendary are a pain, getting a precursor this easily won’t really make legendary weapons..legendary anymore. That being said, i have thought of a solution.

The scavanger hunt would start like this:
-You click a drop down list of your so called legendary you want to create.
-You choose your legendary(Mine being the Juggernaut) and it asks for your 3 gifts.
Notice how this automatically throws the idea of anyone being able to get the precursor. Only those who have worked hard and have obtained the 3 other requirements can do this.
-After you present you 3 gifts(obviously not taking them), it allows you into the scavenger hunt..kinda like a dungeon perhaps.
-You do whatever you have to do(up to Anet) to achieve it. Now this should be extremely hard. Obviously, getting this weapon can’t be childs play.
-Once you get it, you get it.
-This can only be done once, forever for that legendary on that account you did it on.
Note: This also throws the idea of people getting the precursor and just trade posting it, seeing as they already have the 3 gifts, and they can only obtain the precursor once, chances are they will craft it.

What do you think? I believe this method would be doable. Hoping for a response from anet as I want to play WvW/PvE (you know, the main thing about guild wars)but I’m stuck creating this legendary and I want to get it out of the way.

I fail to see why the scavenger hunt should be locked down in any way at all, much less this proposed way.

why not just have soul bound on acquire? I mean there is no point in having it as this personal quest and then selling it? sure you can sell the legendary you craft but thats another topic.

your idea seems good but i would rather it to be soul bound on equip.

Waraxx, currently it is soulbind on equip. :p

evo.8640:

Waraxx, currently it is soulbind on equip. :p

you misunderstood me.
what the OP is suggesting is a scavenger hunt where the predecessor that you acquire from the hunt is soul bound on equip. but i think its better if the predecessors that you acquire from the scavenger hunt should be soul bound on acquire.
i know the current legendarys/predecessors are soul bound on equip

Yeah.

I’m in agreement, scavenger precursors should be BoA. I know Anet is in the business of consistently making silly mistakes that people just can’t believe, but hopefully they won’t screw that up.

as long as precursors dropped as random loot is BoE and precursors from the scavenger hunt are BoA then I see no problem at all. people who don’t want to do the scav hunt can still buy them and those that don’t can find em through the hunt
