Guild Wars 2

Hi, just a short question – is it possible to get a precursor, of any kind if you put in rare weapons? For example, if I put 4 rare lvl 80 swords is there a chance I get a exotic precursor sword?

Thanks.

Yes. Any rares or exotics above level 76 have a chance of getting a precursor. The higher level/rarity of the weapons will also increase the chance of getting one.

If you put 4 of the same weapon in you will that same type back. If you put in 4 random weapons, you can get a random one back.

EDIT: I should also mention that while this can be a viable way to get a precursor, it can still be an incredibly rare chance to get one. Some people have spent hundreds on gold and not received anything back. I personally spent about 60g and got Spark (dagger) (back when it was only like 200g, and I sold it for 130g after the prices plummeted from the karka event, yeah I know, I should have held onto it but kitten happens). But yeah, just know that there is a large risk of losing a lot of money.
