Guild Wars 2

I have been contemplating making a legendary, and casually have been collecting clovers. It occurred to me that clovers are one of the best uses of the forge, because you almost always get something worthwhile, even if it is not a clover.

So why not with precursors? Why not have something that comes from materials related to the legendary type you want (hafts, strings, stocks, etc.) along with ecto and other mats in the forge? Like sword tokens, rifle tokens, etc. They pretty much work the same way as clovers, that if you fail you at least get something worthwhile.

Could be a vendor that lets you trade them for parts of a legendary weapon. At the end of the day you would throw an ascended weapon and the parts gathered by token method to basically craft your precursor.

I’m thinking this could also work with the issue of multiple legendaries of the same weapon type. Why not be able to salvage your legendary for a % of the materials back which could go toward another skin of the same weapon type? This would basically future-proof things without giving the skins away too easily after the first one.
