Guild Wars 2

So, with the price of most of the pre-cursors shooting through the roof at the TP due to the feature patch, I’m back to seriously considering crafting for Spark. I have horrible luck with RNG typically, although my clover production was right on track with current MF drop rates for clovers. So, is there ANY reason, either leaked info on scavenger hunts, or anything else, why I shouldn’t bite the bullet and just roll my dice and move my MF mice and hope I get a Spark drop from MF crafting? I mean, it’s pushing 1000 gp on the TP now, a jump of almost 400 gp in the last month and my understanding of the loot drops post-patch is that they’re now worse for getting pre-cursors?

don’t gamble, no matter how tempting it is, yes, the prices are raising, but they’re nowhere near the expected value of getting a precursor by gambling.

and yes, I know a lot of people here will start posting how they got 7 precursors with 14 tries on the MF but that’s not the norm.

There is absolutely no new info about precursor crafting or scavenger hunt, so I wouldn’t hold my bets for those.

You can always try your lucky in the MF, just remember that RNG is … random.

If precursor is the last thing you need, then go for it, if not, get all the rest first, you can end having lucky with a drop or till then new info appears, who knows?

It is always a gamble if you roll the MF. I got my The Legend by sheer dumb luck throwing random rares into the MF for daily. I’ll probably never roll a precursor for the rest of time. As stated before, get everything else for your legendary, save up gold, and pray to get lucky in the meantime. That’s really all you do until ANet reveals anything about crafting or scavenger hunt.

Prices will drop again. Craft an ascended dagger and slap a cool skin on it. If you’re really “unlucky” you’ll have the Incinerator two weeks later, if not, you at least have the same damage until you’ve saved enough gold.

…If you’re really “unlucky” you’ll have the Incinerator two weeks later

:D that would be my luck! Thanks for the feedback everyone!

As far as I’m concerned, crafting a precursor or the supposed “scavenger hunt” quest is something that will never happen. Save up the money and just buy it. You’ll spend less money on buying it then you will gambling for it.

It’ll never happen even though it should have been here day one and they promised it by the end of 2013.

Meh, it will probably be here eventually, the problem with releasing something like crafting precursors or especially the scavenger hunt is that if they are not 1000% sure that it works correctly, then there will be one screw up, and some dude has 500 Dusks do to some bug. Then it gets abused by 10000 people, and the economy of the game goes to poop. 20 gold Dusks, lots of people buying to make their legendary, and the price of dem ectos and all other crafting materials are like 5 gold each. Now I’m exaggerating a bit and if that happened, they would probably fix it before it gets that far I hope, but that’s what I shall tell myself, that that’s their reasoning for it not being out yet and I’m sticking with it till it happens. Me being a person with 2000+ hours and no legendary or precursor is the reason I shall always hope it gets released. I can’t save money for the life of me, so its my only chance at ever having a legendary. T.T
