Guild Wars 2

What items from the Halloween event do I need to craft The Crossing?

It seems to be 250 or 350 Candy Corn and 100 Nougats. Is the rest of it available all year?

In total, this is what you need to craft a permanent halloween item:
250 Candy Corn
40 Elonian Wine
10 Crystalline Dust
100 nougat center
=Gift of souls recipe

250 Orichalcum Ingots
20 Globs of Ectoplasm
100 Crystal Lodestones
Gift of Knowledge (500 dungeon tokens from CoE)
=Gift of souls

Gift of Souls
Ancient Staff Shaft (6 ancient wood planks)
Ancient Staff Head (2 ancient wood planks)
X’s Orichalcum Imbued Inscription (requirements for this depend on which you make)
= The Crossing

You will need to know at least a lvl400 artificer to get this done. For the imbued inscription, it depends on which one you want, but you will likely need to know some other lvl400 crafting profession

It’s possible that I’m wrong and that somewhere in here you will need the temporary version of the weapon, so I would go ahead and buy that (but make sure not to equip it!). Other than that, I’m pretty certain as to all the rest.

Thanks for that. I’m not level 80. This would be something to build towards as I’m leveling.. Are candy corn and nougat centre the only halloween specific items in that list?

Yes, everything else is available for the entire year.

So as long as I get the recipe to make gift of souls before the event is done, I should be good? Its not like only the Halloween version of the Mystic Forge will make this?

You don’t even need to get the recipe before the event is over. Just so long as you have the ingredients for the recipe, the mystic forge will give you the recipe from those ingredients any time of the year.

Thanks Suic Idal for the full weapon recipe. That’s what I had been wondering – what we were supposed to mix the Gift with.

This is incorrect.

I’ve updated the wiki with the correct information and the process you need to follow to create The Crossing:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Gift_of_Souls

That’s awesome, thanks for updating the Wiki Rabbit. Do you have a picture of the weapon? I’m curious to see the skin on a player and also the actual stats of it.

So, if my calcs and understanding of the recipes are correct…then, it looks like the required Halloween items are:

Recipe for Gift of Souls:
250 Candy Corn
100 Nougat Centers

Recipe for Superior Sigil of Night:
250 Candy Corn
25 Nougat Centers
25 Chattering Skulls
25 Plastic Fangs

Superior Sigil of Night (x20)
100 Candy Corn each

So, in total:

2500 Candy Corn
125 Nougat Centers
25 Chattering Skulls
25 Plastic Fangs

before the event ends.

That’s awesome, thanks for updating the Wiki Rabbit. Do you have a picture of the weapon? I’m curious to see the skin on a player and also the actual stats of it.

You can rent the skin for 4 hours for 6 silver from the vendor in LA.

Recipe for Superior Sigil of Night:
250 Candy Corn
25 Nougat Centers
25 Chattering Skulls
25 Plastic Fangs

This isn’t a guarenteed recipe. The recipe you’re stating is a random recipe, you can get anything from a recipe to a mini to some rare materials.

So there isn’t even a guaranteed way (other than buying it on the TP) to get the recipe for the Sigils of the Night? sigh Even better….

Thanks for the clarification, Rabbit.

I heard that Sigil recipe was guaranteed and that there’s a similar MF recipe for the Mad King Rune? I mean why make something that you only have a week to do, based off of RNG? Not to mention none of the other unique exotic weapons that use Gifts have any RNG to them. Only the Legendaries but that’s only in getting the Precursor, none of the recipes themselves are RNG.

Yes I know but if you know the recipe than surely you have already made the weapon? In that case I’m just curious to see the skin? I also more than that, I really want to know what the final stats of the weapon look like?

1X Orichalcum Ingot[s]
1X Glob[s] of Ectoplasm
1X One of three Lodestone[s]
100X Piece[s] of Candy Corn

That is the recipe for superior sigil of night and you can get the recipe off of Random Trick or Treat Bags.

I haven’t crafted the crossing myself, but someone in my guild did. Stats are pretty terrible on it out of the box, it has the superior sigil of the night in it (+10% damage at night) and either Traveler’s or Explorer’s stats (I remember the 3% magic find, don’t recall what flavor the other 2 stats were). He transmuted it onto pow/vit/toughness stats.

Wow this is getting more disappointing by the minute. Crappy stats, epic grind worthy of a Legendary required in a very short amount of time, cool skin is all it has going for it but certainly not worth the grind involved at all.

Are you aware that legendaries also have crappy stats? Also, depending on the legendary, this is less than 1/4 the gold cost, and you don’t need 1 million karma for it…

Legendaries have a few things that make them worth it:

-You have as much time as you need to earn the mats so you can do it at your own pace. However this weapon, you have 10 days (less at this point) to gather up all the Halloween mats to do it, but then you have to add the RNG Sigil recipe onto that
-The Legendaries have legendary worthy skins and visual effects. The Crossing, while cool, is not cool enough to Warrant the very short and very epic grind.
-They are Legendary, and this weapon is simply an Exotic

Event ends the 4th of November. You have 11 days left. That means getting 250 candy corn a day and you’ll have some left over. Not that difficult.

Legendaries have a few things that make them worth it:

-You have as much time as you need to earn the mats so you can do it at your own pace. However this weapon, you have 10 days (less at this point) to gather up all the Halloween mats to do it, but then you have to add the RNG Sigil recipe onto that
-The Legendaries have legendary worthy skins and visual effects. The Crossing, while cool, is not cool enough to Warrant the very short and very epic grind.
-They are Legendary, and this weapon is simply an Exotic

-The only thing you need to collect over the next week is Candy Corn, and only 2,000 of it. In fact, since Candy Corn isn’t bound, you don’t even need to do that.
-The Crossing has a freaking lamp on a chain that emits smoke and swings as you move. Compare that to Bitfrost that has some rainbow stuff going on… It’s no contest in my opinion, Crossing wins hands down.
-And? What does Legendary matter to you other than the badge you get on the character select screen?

Sorry Im maybe newb, but isnt this skins able to get only during the event?

The drops (loot) only occur during the event, the recipe will be craftable well beyond that.
