Guild Wars 2

Hey guys,i have been trying to get dusk of rage via the mystic forge by using lvl 80 RARE greatswords and so far no luck i do get from time to time some exotic rage swords (witch cost about 2-3 gold in the TP) from it but still no dusk,so i have red the forums here and there and i see things are changed,alot of ppl r now saying u cant get dusk or dawn with RARE swords now it has to be EXOTIC greatswords.

So thats my question is it rare or exotic swords that u need for the forge?Why the switch?

Al so am 80% sure that magic find (it affects only mob drops) dosnt affect the forge but some of my friends r saying that it does affect it.So it does or it dosnt?

I know and have talked to people who have acquired legendary precursors with 4 lvl 80 rare swords after the 65+ rare issues was taken care of.

There is also a thread around here with a AN representative who said that it is still possible to get legendary precursors by combining lvl 80 rares.

Does that mean that if your using exotics they also have to be level 80 or can you use fx level 75 exotics?

To sum it up:

Question posed:

1. Can we still attain the pre-cursors from lvl 75-80 rare weapons in mystic forge.
2. Can we still attain the pre-cursors from lvl 75-80 exotic weapons in the mystic forge.

LinseyMurdock’s answer:

I believe the issue was with rares of a lower level. So, the answers to 1. and 2. are yes.

Exactly, it was sub-lvl75 rares that were the issue. Not the 75-80 ones.

Cool. Thanks for the info mate

Can level 70 exotics be used?

Yes a guildie got The Hunter today useing 4, level 70 exotic guns.

So, is it possible to truly get a precursor using lv 70 exotics? I managed to get Eir’s longbow with them… Must be a hint or something like that I suppose :S
