Guild Wars 2

Am I right in thinking that you simply get 4 random rares and then combine them in the mystic forge? And its just random what you get? Can you influence the type of precursor it will be by the type of weapons you combine?

If I wanted to grind for bifrost, how can I try to maximise my chances in the Mystic forge? Thankyou

Four Staffs yield a staff. Exotic staffs have a slightly (very slightly) higher chance.

Hey thanks. So to get the precursor, can it be done with rares at all or do you have to use exotics?

I think it’s rare or higher at lvl 76 or higher
4 level 76 rares will be less likely than 4 level 80 exotics
But, it’s all just a minute chance

some people have gotten a pre-cursor within their first 5 tries. and some have dumped 100’s and 100’s of gold and gotten nothing. so highly, highly, “randomized”.

there should be new ways of acquiring the pre-cursor – via a scavenger hunt but no further details on that nor when it will be implemented.

best bet right now is keep farming for your other materials and save up as much gold as you can and don’t buy to throw into the mystic forge. this way, if you DO need to end up buying the pre-cursor, you’ll have decent amount of gold from farming the other mats hopefully. at the same time, if you happen to come across 4 rare or 4 exotics staves through drops, then i wouldn’t mind testing my luck. but to get 4 rare/exotic staves would take a long time too and largely up to chance.

I’ve been thinking around for a long time now, and I can’t figure out what TH is short for.

Twilight Arbor?(mistaken for Harbor)
If it’s something else, then dunno.

Twilight Arbor was the closest one I could guess, yeah.

Ops, yeah sorry, TArbor!

I think most people would be better off buying one from the TP

I wish this was true every time. I put 4 exotic great swords in the MF and got either a no name exotic staff or septor out of it. Maybe it was a glitch, i don’t know.

wow, that’s pretty weird you got a non-greatsword when throwing 4 in… i’ve tried the forge a few times and have gotten always the same item type at least.. :///

did you report a bug?

and grats to Vylker!!!D are you going for the hammer?
