Guild Wars 2

There are quite the number of legendary items out there, yet all have P/V/T stats applied to them.

While it’s nice to have a generic ‘catch-all’ set of stats on such items, I personally believe that it would be even better if the player can dictate the stats he/she would like on their legendary.

In order to achieve this there is a very easy method. We need Mystic Forge recipes!

• 1x Legendary
• 1x <xxx> Orichalcum Imbued Inscription
• 1x Bottle of Elonian Wine
• 5x Crystal

SHAZAMM! Zommoros takes your P/T/V Legendary and gives you one with the stat layout you’d want based on the Inscription you provided…

+1 all the way!
I love this idea! Why should someone who put in a ton of time and effort be unable to have the weapon stats they truly want. (there should be more stat options for sure)

And it should work even on legendaries that don’t have the P/V/T stats. Sometimes you decide to change your build and you shouldn’t have to create a new legendary just to get the stats you want.

Oh yes! I don’t use those stats on any of my characters and I would like them all to have legendaries some day, and actually use them other than to show off out of battle

or could turn all legendaries into usable “skins” then when you apply it to a weapon of the correct type it “promotes” that weapon to the legendary, taking its stats but increasing them to legendary level.

but the forge might actually be the better way to do it (less trouble with the stat promotion and all)

Great idea, A-net make it happen.

I like it. Of course one never knows how hard it is to implement programmatically, but toss every idea at Anet hoping that one of them is simple and elegant enough for them to implement.

It shouldn’t be hard at all as they’d only need to add new recipes to the list. So all it would take is someone spending an few hours implementing all the recipes based on the 8 Imbued Orichalcum Inscription.

8 inscriptions x 21 legendaries =168 Mystic Force recipes total to cover them all. Hardly any effort for a lot of potentially happy players in my humble opinion.

Sounds like a perfectly reasonable solution to me. +1
