Lady Luck graced me with her presence. Dawn

Now the big problem, keep or sell. Right now I really don’t want a legendary, but I use a Greatsword in all my builds so it could be beneficial, but Dawn doesn’t look that great, if it was Dusk I’d keep it in a heartbeat.

So comes the second question. Selling it I can make alot of money of this thing right now, but I don’t know how much. What would be a reasonable price? I know I dropped atleast +100g in the forge so 200 would be the minimum I guess.

Help me. Keep or sell, and if I sell how much?

I would never sell it. I need cash only to buy more weapons and then dump them into forge;)

IF you sell it: Put it up for a price which is below (but not Too far below) the current cheapest sell price
This would likely mean it getting picked up by one of the richer people who either try to resell it for a higher price, or somebody who is farming to reach the higher prices goes “OMGYESSSSS!” and takes it.
Either way, it will be sold faster and you will have money.

You can also try to find somebody who has Dusk, but wants Dawn, and trade it, or donate it to a friend or loved one.

Just to let you know Anet is monitoring the prices for all the precursors. They may implement a 100% mystic forge recipe for a limited time. Also they may include other ways to get it, thus dropping the price. I would wait a little bit and sell at a high price when you still can.

We have been watching the prices climbing on Legendary precursors and share your concerns about some of them becoming too expensive. We will continue to monitor the situation and will make any adjustments we feel are necessary.

All they said is they’re monitoring it. Big sticky thread at the top of the page.

Keep it, it will probably raise to 1000g in the long run if anet doesnt change anything.

Question does Dawn have any particle effects or anything? I look around the web and can’t find anything about it. Don’t want to equip and get it soulbound…

Other exotic gs have them. So I’m guessing a precursor would, but who knows lol.

No, Dawn doesnt have particle effects, not even an unique skin. You can get the same skin on a named 2g worth sword, forgot the name.
Same with Dusk —> Naegling.

On a side note I would give you all my 125 gold for it lol. But that would be a bad deal for you.

Wow lame. They’re some rares with particle effects. Yet one of the hardest weapons to get doesn’t. Plus it doesn’t have a unique skin. lol how does that make sense Anet?

This thing is definitely just going to sit in the bank, and I’m going to watch the price.

And when you are done with that, wait for the price of your stocks to peak and sell them. But not before, or after. You can make a fortune on Wall Street!

Might not be a bad idea to offer to trade, if there is a different one you want, that way neither of you really risks price increases or decreases as they will probably track with each other.

Good to know you can use 4 CKS to get one of them at least… Those are pretty cheap and easy to craft.

CKS is all I ever used. Never understood people using exotic. You’re using four exotics to get one exotic….

I understand the chance is higher with exotics, but it doesn’t seem worth it. Atleast with rares you can get an exotic from it. I had a couple of runs where I got +5 exotics in a row.

Thanks Harbinger. I’m not really at the point where I have any amount of disposable income to take a serious crack at them, but I might start throwing the odd 4 in here and there and see if the RNG gods are shining on me.

That’s the best thing to do. I hurt myself bad trying for it. Pretty much everytime I got some gold, I’d throw it all into the forge, and walk away broke. This thing is a gamble. You don’t throw your whole life savings into a Vegas Casino. Pretty much by the time you get all the other items you need for your legendary. You should have either Dusk or Dawn.

Just my two cents.

Thanks for the advice. In the meantime I will work on filling out all my gear slots with 80 exotics and roll the dice in the spare time on some random rare 80’s that drop when I don’t need the ecto particularly.

Well, I thinking about doing something abit crazy. Most people will probably call me an idiot, but I talking about going all in. I could sell this Dawn right now for 226 gold, then I turn around a put it all back into the forge. I’m pretty sure I could make a killing on this if it goes right. 226 gold is like 1000 rare gs. Chances are pretty high I can get another, and I can just keep doing it.

I’ve made up my mind. I’m doing it. I’ll keep you guys posted. BLEH is going to be awhile I have to go grind. I need 12 gold to even sell it lol.

Definitely keep me posted Harbinger. RNG is RNG, but something tells me you will make out well with your gamble. Please record as much information on your results as you can. How many exotics you got, any named exotics other than precursors. I wish you luck!

Put 150g into toilet using rares to make precursor, still don’t have one

When I say 150g, I mean net-loss, actual spending was prob around 220g so GL gambling again but I def do not recommend it

Why not keep it and just make Sunrise? For myself, after seeing the 2 legendary greatswords in action from the beta video, I had no doubt it was going to be Twilight for me. But Sunrise has seen big improvements compared to its beta counterpart.

I have also seen Twilight inside the real game and it was somewhat underwhelming because it was a little too dark. Sure it looks awesome if you can switch the camera angle for a period of time while the sword stays still but that isn’t always the case.

Just opinion anyways but in this video Sunrise looks pretty sweet!:

1000 gs is maybe 50% chance to get one. Its estimated to have 0,1-0,2% chance to get one per attempt.

So, I was wondering why no one throw in 100 extoic greatsword instead of rares. Didn’t dev mentioned that lvl 80 extoics give better chance to get a prescursor from? Everyone is throwing in rares and the chance is significantly lower so why many people are attempting this. I’m confused!

The main reason people are throwing in rares is that rares are much, much cheaper than exotics, though it could easily be the case that the odds with exotics are better by enough to outweigh this difference.

I wouldn’t count on that. 260g down putting x4 80 exotics in, nothing but a couple named GS that are worth nothing in comparison to what I’ve spent.

I’ve put my legendary search on a hold. I’m 3/4 of the way done, for weeks now, wasting my gold in a RNG nightmare.

How does RNG make these items legendary? Shouldn’t you actually have to do something skillful to get these skins?

So I finally sold it for 300g. I think that is more then reasonable. Throwing it all back in the forge will probably wait. There’s alot of things I want to buy now.

Full tier 3 cultural armor
All extoic rings and accessories
Maybe commander

Well, the thing is, Tier 3 cultural armour isnt changing in price, and neither is the cost to make exotic rings, nor the commander title..where as the price for dawn and dusk are only going up up up…I’d have kept it, but that’s just me. Having thrown in almost 20 gold worth of stuff myself.

Wow lame. They’re some rares with particle effects. Yet one of the hardest weapons to get doesn’t. Plus it doesn’t have a unique skin. lol how does that make sense Anet?

Since the exotics aren’t meant to be the legendary weapons themselves, they are made to be precursors. If they would give the precursors a unique skin then people would try and get the precursors without going for an exotic creating even more demand.
