Guild Wars 2

Everyone says there should be a fractal weapons ticket, but honestly, crafting them would make a lot more sense…

Why have the ability to craft fractal weapons
Because people need to have a way of getting the fractal weapon they want, not saying it should be easy, but there has to be one

How are they going to craft it
Fractal weapons should be crafted like normal weapons, in order to make a fractal dagger, you need to have weaponsmith 400 and learn the recipe.

Recipe for fractal weapons
Acquiring the recipe
You can get the recipe from either the guild merchant for commendations, or the fractal merchant using 1350 fractal relics
Recipes can also be sold at the trading post or very rare drops from 20+ fractal chests
If you buy the recipe using commendations, it’s account bound, if you get it using other methods, it can be sold on the tp

The recipe
2-3-4 fractal ingots depending on the weapons, 2 for a weapon like the focus or the torch, 3 for a weapon like the sword or the scepter, 4 for the 2 handed weapons, and 20 pristine fractal relic and a gift of ascension + exotic insignia

Fractal ingots
fractal ingots can be made by a 400 weaponsmith, huntsman, artificer, You need 2 fractal ores to make a fractal ingot, fractal ores can be salvaged from fractal weapons. salvaging a fractal weapon can result in 1-3 fractal ores, or from the mystic forge, just put 2 shards of crystallized mist essence + 5 globs of coagulated mist + 10 vials of condensed mist + 1 gift of ascension

Any feedback is appreciated

Farming for that is much harder than farming for weapons, people rather prey for weapons and create full functioning capacitor that creating weapon with that recipe. I think it should be as follows:

Fractal weapons should be made in mystic forge but you sill need crafting discipline 400
Recipe is this: X amount of T2 essence + 10 orichalcum part 1 + 10 orichalcum part 2 + Gift of the mists

Off hand weapons need 3 T2 essence
Main hand need 5 T2 essence
Two handed need 7 T2 essence

Gift of the mists recipe can be bought from golem in fractal lab for 500 relics, it can be crafted through any weapon discipline, you need to buy certain one depending on which discipline you have.

Gift of the mists: 250 ectoplasm + 5 pristine relics + 5 T1 essence +20 obsidian shard

Yes, what you said is true, but if the recipe can be bought with fractal relics then sold at the tp, then fractal relics will have an actual gold value, not a theoretical value, and I don’t want the weapon to be easy to get, with what you just said, the weapons is more gold farming than fractal farming, and everyone will be walking around with fractal weapons thus fractal weapons will lose their prestige.
tl;dr
Your method is too easy and doesn’t involve a lot of fractal farming, my method will still keep the fractal weapons’ prestige and will put a gold value to fractal relics, 1350 fractal relics=Xg
