Guild Wars 2

Ok so I have around 1000 gold, about 70 of each t6 mat, 2million karma, and around 300 ectos. Should I try crafting the legendary or just make money and buy off TP. Which way would be the quickest to get the legendary.

Buy the precursor, craft the legendary. That’s my opinion.

1) Make a list of materials involved in the legendary you want to make/buy.
2) Go to GW2Spidy and start checking the cost per unit of material.
3) Sum everything and evaluate the cost.
4) Consider the time to obtain the rest of the items to the crafting procedure.
5) Compare and decide.

If you craft it, u need to pay for the precursor, the mats + few other things. The cost for all of those would be 1000-1600 depends on which legendary, so you are actually pretty close in gold.

The few other things you need are world completion, 500 badge of honor, a dungeon gift + more than 1 mil karma (or 8000 fractal relics) for 77 mystic clovers + 250 obsidian shards.

So unless you think you can get 1000-1500 golds faster than u can get the stuffs above (which is only possible if u buy gold using real cash or if you are a fantastic TP investor ). I suggest crafting

You don’t have enough to buy a legendary, unless you’re going for the worthless underwater ones.

Save up and wait for precursor crafting

I resent that Vol… i crafted a legendary Trident and i am pretty happy with my choice. Nothing to do about the gold/precursors/lodestones, i simply prefer the trident!…

A legendary UW is as worthless as a non-UW Legendary weapon…

Depends on how fast you can make money, I guess.

These are the materials needed for a legendary (going from the wiki). I’m going to use the juggernaut for reference since if I was going for one, it would be either that, flameseeker chronicles or quip:

- Precursor (Colossus)
- 339 skill points (you need 200 on a single character, the rest can be spread on multiple characters)
- 1,010,100 karma (using karma since you already have it, you can also use laurels or fractal relics)
- 500 badges of honor
- 231 mystic coins
- 231 globs of ectoplasm
- 250 of each T6 crafting material (except for metal, wood and food)
- 400 in weaponsmith and 500 of each iron, mithrill and orichalcum ore and 1000 platinum (varies for other legendaries)
- 400 in jewering and 500 iron ore, 150 molten lodestones and 250 silver doubloons
- 500 badges of honor (you probably already have them if you haven’t spent the ones you get from achievement chests)
- Do 8 runs of SE explorable (which dungeon varies by legendary but they all need roughly 8 runs to get the necesary tokens)
- 100% world exploration (including WvW)

Most legendary weapons, according to gw2spidy, costs between 2000g to 2500g. If you sell all materials you have, you probably can get about 1200 or 1300g, so you’d be halfway there.

However, if you purchase a precursor (that’s less than 600g for most of them), you have roughly 400g left to get more materials (maybe more if you convert the excess of karma to gold), but that will leave you with having to farm to get more materials or gold to buy them, plus there are things you need to do that you can’t buy (get to 400 in the required crafting profesions, do the dungeon runs for the tokens, get 100% map completion, get the necesary skill points if you don’t have them already).

So in the end it all depends on how quick you can farm the money or materials, and how far away you are from the goals you need to do yourself.
