any of you have tips of how to make legendary faster? or easier?

Credit cards. Or sugar daddies/mommas.

Well to speed it up you have to make lots of money in a short period of time. Your options are farming, a daily rotation of dungeons/fractals, trading or relying on luck.

where’s the money in fractals?? you only get drops or 1 or 2 t6 mats at the end

Karma, not gold. You need a ton of it for each legendary.

I’d farm the karma, skill points, badges, and world completion first. This is because you will likely get a lot of materials that you can use for your legendary. EotM is probably the best place to go as it will give you the most karma per hour than anywhere else, you’ll easily get the 500 badges, and the many champ bags you’ll get will have the sp scrolls.

I would then work on getting your 77 clovers. The average number of attempts using the single recipe (not the x10) is about 231. I just did it the other day in 227 tries and the time before was around there as well.

After you have your clovers, buy up the remaining ingredients on buy orders. Check sites such as gw2tp.com to see the trends to make it easier to pick the best price for your buy orders. For crystalline dust, I found using ectos instead and salvaging them to be the better route.

For the legendary gifts, I suggest doing node farming in Orr. SSC, and FGS to be the best course of action if going for anything that uses ore such as the Gift of Metal. I’d also farm your platinum and iron ore. There are a few guides that show the usual locations of rich iron nodes. There may or may not be one for platinum ore but I normally don’t have issues getting enough. I tend to start on the SW corner of Mount Maelstrom and work my way east until I hit the water. I do this every day while I’m trying to do my daily.

For lodestones, you’re better off just buying them with gold. There are various ways to make gold. I found orichalcum ore and ancient wood log node farming to be the better way as nothing else has really compared to it except exploitative event farming. You can get 42 ore and 36 logs at least per character per day running the four maps. I can normally do a full run in about 20 -30 min depending on node placement and whether I can stay on the same server for all of my characters. Using gw2node.com will help you out. This method may or may not become obsolete on Sept 9th.

Always put a buy order for the precursor. They actually do get fulfilled rather quickly for the more popular ones.

I agree with Ayrilana’s advice, with the exception that I would start producing clovers as soon as you have enough ecto, obsidian (from karma), and skill points. It’s really tedious and not everyone enjoys trying 250+ times in the same session. (My average is ~256.)

Don’t even think about it until you secure the Precursor…..that is all.
