Last night I couldn’t sleep, so I got up and was messing around on GW2. I had enough random exotic dungeon weapons from pvp for 2 tries in the mystic forge. I tossed them all in and got nothing, except 2 random exotics worth like 2g each. Normally I don’t toss in exotics I can sell on the TP, but this time I wasn’t going to settle for ~4gold.
I go back to my bank and grab my last 2 exotic pvp dungeon weapons and head back to the forge. I throw them in hoping to at least get an exotic worth 4g+ to counter my losses, but to my extreme surprise, The Colossus pops up on the screen. I freak out, and think there’s no way that’s the hammer precursor…I only threw in 4 random mismatched exotics…not even all level 80…I must have gotten the names for the precursor mixed up. My cursor never moved so fast. I scrolled over the icon and read it like 5x in 2 seconds. “This weapon is used to craft the legendary hammer The Juggernaut” HOLY SUPERSOAKER this can’t be real! I spam “i” and open my inventory, not wanting to believe my luck until I saw it for myself in my inventory. There it was! That beautiful hammer! The holy grail of GW2 drops. I spam map chat in joy, talking in all caps, and then sell it instantly on the TP…out of fear that somehow it’ll disappear from my inventory.
I just sat in my chair, shocked from just what happened, while people in map chat talked about how I used all my luck this year and about how unfair RNG is. 4700 hours and I finally get my first precursor from the forge! Wow! Best of luck to everyone still trying, but as you can see, even if you have horrible luck like me(4700hours), it is possible. Nearly all my tries were from dungeon weapons, and I’d estimate this was my 15th or so combine.
