Hi everyone and Happy Halloween!
I can’t speak for all of us, but I for one am having a blast with the Mad King events so far
I think I do speak for all of us when I say it would be nice for ArenaNet to clarify how to obtain some of the holiday goodies!
The three craft-able Exotic Mad King weapons in particular are a large investment. The recipes and materials can all be obtained during the event and used to craft the weapons at a later time (even after the event ends.)
The issue is there are several versions of the lists of materials required for the recipes and the weapons themselves circulating the internet none of which are officially confirmed by ArenaNet. I understand that these recipes are meant to be discovered, but seeing as how the Halloween materials needed to create them are only available for a limited time, I think it only fair if Developers could confirm the correct requirements for all Holiday items.
Personally, my only wish this Halloween event is to be able to craft The Crossing staff for my elementalist; it is my favorite staff style in the game! After ~16g for the Gift of Souls recipe, ~1g for the Superior Sigil of Night recipe, along with the candy corn and nougats, I am hoping that I am done spending gold on the components exclusive to the Halloween event. Please let me know ArenaNet, I would hate to have spent hard earned gold just to have collected the wrong materials or not enough of what I need before the event ends.
To my (the internet’s) knowledge, this is the complete requirement list for The Crossing. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
