Guild Wars 2

I got a legend today in the forge and sold it and bought zap. However looking at the cost for the materials it will take me a while to be able to afford all the materials. I have about 300 gold but the charged lodestone alone would eat that up. Are there any legendary’s that are not as expensive as others? I know it’s a long term goal but not sure I want to spend 1000 gold on 1 weapon lol.

Any of the off-hand or underwater legendary weapons are very cheap, such as howler, rodgort, minstrel, kraitkin, frenzy, etc…

But to be honest, since you already bought a zap, I wouldn’t waste TP fees selling it. While yes, charged lodestones are very expensive, you should be able to farm the t6 mats, ecto, and gold for runestones in a reasonable amount of time, so I’d just say go for bolt

First question is are you making this to keep or try and sell a finished legendary on the TP? If it’s to keep, i would make the one you really want regardless of how much mats it takes. Just take your time and enjoy the ride. If it’s to sell, i definately wouldn’t be making a water one or an obscure/less popular one unless you want to gamble the TP fees trying to sell it.

Bolt is really worth it. I prefer it over my Twilight. Go for it! You wont regret it :-).

I’d say cheapest is probably the trident, since the precursor is like 24g on the TP, but really, a trident legendary? The precursors for the torch and warhorn are about 80g on the tp, and those are actually sorta cool looking. The scepter is about 150g on the TP as well.
I think you’re going to be spending a ridiculous amount of gold anyways, so I’d aim for the one you really want to avoid any sort of regret, but that’s just everyone’s advice. Should probably just do whatever you want.

If you like bolt go for it, I don’t see the point of making a legendary you may not even like.

Else as other people said, rodgort, kraitking, frenzy, shark spear, the ministrel or the howler are kinda “cheap”.

Cheap only applies to the precursor itself. The Gift of Fortune is gonna be the same price regardless so again, make the one you want cause the price from the most expensive to the cheapest is only like 300g or so.
