Guild Wars 2

I have been a WvW player from day dot and now im really keep on making a legendary… But i have Never PvEd before…
Does anyone have any advice or help they could give me to help me start out?!
Like where and how to farm gold? What are the best methods?

P.S if you are willing to help in any way then id greatly appreciate it! It can be in any form whatsoever… (Info, Gold, Items, Knowledge)

First of all, make sure you bring some time with you. Crafting a legendary requires time, at least the first one does.
The next thing you should do is to decide which one you want to craft and what the requirements for that legendary weapon are.
Now you should have a plan what to look for and about how much money it takes to get there. Still interested? Ok, go on…

Since you have been playing WvW for a long time, you should have some karma available. Go and get 500 obsidian shards, if you have space in your bank. Don’t buy 500 but fill your bank until you have 500. Get some globs of ectoplasm and some mystic coins. Then use them (with crystals / stones) to craft mystic clovers. You will need 77 clovers, so keep on crafting them in the mystic forge. While creating clovers you will get some T6 materials along with other stuff you might need later.
Besides crafting clovers you should now spend your time to get all maps to 100% completion. So visit every vista, every poi, do every quest and so on. You will have to do this with one character every 2 legendaries you want to craft, since you will get 2 gifts of exploration per 100% map completion character. And you will need one of these to craft the leg. weapon.
Now, these are the basics you should do to start crafting the legendary weapon. When you got all this done, you got some materials for completing maps and for crafting clovers. And you got some gold also. So the amount of gold you require for the rest of the materials already went down. Maybe use some online legendary calculator to calculate what else you need.
Congratulations – as stupid as this may sound – you finished the hard part (at least according to some other wvw players).
Now just keep farming money / materials wherever you like, Cursed Shore, Silver wastes, Frostgorge Sound, Southsun Cove (for T6 blood).
As soon as you got the money and bought the remaining components (or farmed them) put all the stuff in the mystic forge and voila, there you go.

Hints:
- T6 Material can be crafted with T5 material
- This also works for lodestones
- But watch prices! Sometimes it’s cheaper to buy T6 material.
- If you have laurels, you can get T6 material for it (laurel merchant)
- Precursors are a random drop, either have that luck or buy it.

Dungeons are a good method of making money.

Thankyou for the help guys! I am now in the right direction for a long painful journey!

If you need any personal help, you’re welcome to message me in game some time (or mail me) and if we’re on at the same time, I can show you around or point out some good farming spots, as well as give some tips for gear/builds, etc, to make things easier for you in PvE.

I would remove the bolded part. These forums are for discussion and advice, not asking for donations.

But why make it a painful journey? Let the legendary weapon be part of your journey, A.Net designed the process of crafting a legendary in such a way that you rarely need to play 1 part of the game exclusively.

full zerker with bursty skills +lots of swiftness and leaps,teleports abilities to move around the map quickly and kill stuff quickly will get you the world completion faster (or you could go with whatever build you like and enjoy the scenery, anything works in pve)

As for getting gold i suggest 3 things:

1) Daily dungeon runs: Join a guild that has daily dungeon runs, or start them your self. You will get a nice chunk of gold if you do speed clears+you can sell the loot for extra gold

2) boss events: tequatl gives 2 gold+ a bunch of rares that sell for 25-35 s average(or you can salvage it for ecto). Other bosses also drop a couple of rares and its not that hard to “do them all” once per day

3) “play the tp”: if you know what you are doing you will get a steady income by doing nothing, day and night.

Another great way to earn gold and materials is the Vinewrath meta event in the Silverwastes. Most people hop from map to map with the LFG tool, looking for ones that are close to seeing the event occur, but if you can get a group together and stick through several rotations of the same map it can be much more fun!

You basically do a bit of fortress defense until a progress bar fills up, getting loot bags along the way, then do The Breach and Vinewrath events to get guaranteed rare drops. You get tons of Bandit crests for all sorts of goodies, including chest keys for that zone, plus a 50% boost to Magic Find after completing VW that effects opening those chests. If you stick around after VW ends, buy a few hundred keys, and organize a chest run you can end up with hundreds of good quality loot bags, a decent chance at exotic drops, and hours of interesting boss fights.

Learning the mechanics of the Breach and VW champions can be really fun (or agonizing and contentious, depending on other players). I recommend reading through Dulfy’s guides to get a basic idea of how the events work: http://dulfy.net/2015/01/15/gw2-point-of-no-return-vinewrath-silverwastes-achievements-guide/
