I see a lot of complaints about precursers being pure RNG, which they are, and yes it sux…rather than share my sob story about rng and how I still don’t have my tooth of frostfang after ove1500 axes in the toilet, what if they could do something that makes playing the game actually improve your chances??

How about use 3 rares/exotics in the mystic toilet and something like 100 tokens (WvW or dungeon) instead of 4 items and have a better chance…the more tokens u throw in the better odds?

At least getting your precurser could be associated with playing the game and not just how much money you have….

Being an avid dungeon runner going for dawn, I like this idea, but it will never happen
I wish I could go to a merchant and buy my precursor of choice with 1-5k tokens of each dungeon.

I had a similar thought, buried in another forge QQ thread.

Each attempt you make of tossing 4 lv. 75+ rares (or exotics) in the forge, increases that character’s odds of getting a precursor by a small amount (exotics would give a slightly higher boost), up to a certain threshold (5%? 10%? 25%?).

If you forge a precursor at any time, this resets, and you start over at whatever 0.01% chance it currently has.

They could even go so far as to have some text in the corner showing you your current ‘Precursor Critical Chance.’

I highly doubt this will happen, but it would be a mechanic that could almost be considered ‘fun’ – for those of us that consider watching numbers get bigger fun – which, arguably, is the primal appeal of many video games…
