Guild Wars 2

I’m curious to know what people would think if Anet implements this. Right now Ascended weapons are account bound as soon as they are crafted. So they won’t directly compete with the precursors that are already on the Trading post or change much for people who are invested in the business making or selling vast quantities of rares for mystic forging.

If Asceneded weapons could also be used as precursor for their respective Legendaries the mats would might go up in price. but that could also be helpful to those who just have a few extra ascended materials laying around with no intension of making anymore.

So maybe couple this change with allowing the sell of bloodstone dust and dragonite?

Oh I forgot that This could be the solution to bring precursors in as something that could be done over time. Not exactly a quest, but still requires significant resource and time investment from the player.

I’m not sure if Arena Net has something else in the works for crafting precursor….
but I have had that thought also….why not let player who craft their own ascended weapons use it to start a quest for a precursor

After crafting the ascended weapon of choose is done, it would be cool if you could start a personal quest with that weapon, only one at a time per character, to change it into your precursor of choose..

Kind of like a another personal quest line…….this would of course be gated in some way…….if you wont to give player an option to make one that is not so rng you have to pay some kind of way.

That makes sense, instead of it being a precursor right away, have the quest avalible to go along with it. There would be lots of potentials for a personal story with this. It would be like Zelda’s Skyward Sword where you would be upgrading your weapon along the way to become the Master sword, Maybe have story mode abilities along the way for the quest, along with Small cosmetic changes. so precursor won’t have to look so blend.

I mean most people that would use their precursors would probably like a better look to it while they gather the rest of what they need to finish the Legendary, and that would certainly still take some time.
