Guild Wars 2

about 1k hours. 0 pre’s

Though a funny little anecdote about my gf who’s played about the same amount as me.

she was saving up lv80 exotics for a few weeks in her bank and before salvaging them for ecto’s she asked around in our friendsgroup if we had any interest in any of them. so our voice chat went kinda ballistic when it turned out she had The Energizer and she didn’t even know it was a pre, even worse she didn’t even know what a precursor was at that point.

6.9K hours. Zap dropped in WvW at around 5.2K hrs. Nothing else since.

There’s a guildie of mine that stopped counting after pulling 60 precursors from the Mystic Forge within four months. Let me put it this way: he has pulled so many precursors he has started to hand them out to people in our guild who are on the ___t side of the RNG bell curve… that’s how frequent they pop out the MF for him. And John Smith has said RNG is a bell curve. He’s an extreme outlier. I’m not far behind him. Granted, he said he’s still about broke even as far as gold-to-precursors goes. He still hasn’t had on drop out in open world, only from the Mystic Forge.

Holy unbelievable luck Batman.

So, you and Mr. Smith?

Have you had better luck slotting 4 random yellows? Or slotting 4 same-weapon yellows? So you use Mystic Stones at all, or only yellows?

And for my own clarification, the yellows have to be level 80, yes?

I mistyped. My guildie is not John Smith. “And John Smith has said RNG is a bell curve. He’s an extreme outlier.” I meant my guildie is an extreme outlier on the RNG bell curve that John Smith was talking about.

My guildie only throws in lvl 80 exotics. He finds he gets more precursors from four of the same kind vs four randoms. lvl 80 exotics: four of the same kind > four random > three of the same kind + mystic stone > three random + mystic stone— in that order yields the most precursors.

I pulled 14 of the 17 using lvl 80 rares, four of the same kind… And the only reason I used rares instead of exo’s is because I get more rolls in the mystic forge, which is my fun. When I started using exotics I got them more frequently. That being said my guildie can yield 3 precursors from 250g or 0 from 600g. He’s about broke even. He’s pulled the most zaps and sparks followed by the legend. He finds dawn and dusk the hardest and most expensive to pull from the froge.

EDIT: fixed spelling error.

3,7k hours played.

Precursors dropped: zero, none, nothing, nada, niente.

1900 hours
got 11 as of today all from the forge, at some point i sunk 2k+ gold in the forge and got nothing.
on a side note wasnt really looking for a post like this but i got a leaf today and the spear :P

4180 hours over 793 days.
0 precursor.
GG Anet. And btw, the RNG isnt pure RNG in the precursor problem. How come, my guild leader found 9 precursors, 6 drops/3 MF and he have ONLY over 2k hours…

4145 hours in 922 days

4 precursors: 2 from drops, 2 from Mystic forge

I also purchased about 30 or so precursors back in November 2012, right after the initial Karka Event. I bought them all through the Place Order system, when the prices started dropping after the event (all were under 200 gold, most were under 100), then relisted them all at 4-5 times what I’d paid. It took about 4 months to sell all of them.

8246 hours

1 Zap from MF (back when it was only 200g)
1 Dusk from CoF collector reward

1,185 hrs and 25mins. 994 hrs on my theif alone. Going for incenirator. 0 pre drops.
