Guild Wars 2

Remove it from legendary requirements pls,i feel a bit not very fair the fact that if i want more than 2 legendaries on my character i must not only roll another one but to do again all map exlo as i did it already once. For me this is absolutelly not need i may have stuff for more then 2 legendaries but i cant have them because i do not have time for making another char with 100 map exlo…. This is for Anet devs,guys consider it wisely pls its not only me with this problem.Ty.

Legendary weapons can be purchased from the Trading Post. If you don’t want to grind out more Gifts of Exploration you can instead grind out gold and just buy the Legendary of your choice. It may not be optimal, but alternatives to 100% map exploration are made available to those who don’t wish to do it.

This is not answer nor the solution of this problem mate i dont know why at all you are proposing me to buy Weap that costs over 2k gold instead to think over the subject i have bring to consideration.

It actually IS a solution to your problem. Your problem is you don’t want to grind out 100% map completion on a second character just to get another Legendary weapon. The solution is you can forgo map exploration and simply buy the Legendary weapon from the Trading Post. If you’re going for a third (or more) Legendary weapon then you’ve got enough gold and/or time to make purchasing a Legendary weapon a viable alternative to crafting one.

The problem is you’re not willing to spend the time to get another map completion; the solution is to pay others for their time/effort doing it
i.e. buy a legendary from the tp

Would it be fair to remove Gift of Exploration from the ingredients because you don’t wanna do it vs. everyone who had to spend the time for map completion to make his legendary?

I don’t think it can’t be any more clear than that.

I like the fact that you need to do 100% exploration to get the legendary, but the thing that bothers me is that you got to grind the ultra-boring and un-rewarding hearts that are really time-consuming. This and really only this is the reason i will never craft my legendary, if i ever get one ill buy it from TP

I got my Gift of Exploration long before all the other stuff… Over half a year ago maybe, and I’m still not done getting everything for my first legendary. But I can understand your issue with the character slots. Maybe an alternative recipe to make the Gift of Mastery? Don’t change the original recipe for everybody though.

Instead of removing it, make it an unlimited withdrawal once you reach 100% world completion, like the achievement skins.

I have the opposite problem. I have 16 gifts of exploration yet no precursors or mats for a single legendary……..

I think you are in the better situation and I can tell you that doing world complete a few times is not so bad lol…

those shiny items are called legendary for a reason

just be glad you can buy it via TP. no grievances of hearts, t6, dyes, precursor etc.

I can tell you that soloing Arah is not that bad.

Of course, it’s all subjective.

Yes but at least with that or world completes you can do it without huge amounts of cash or RNG for precursor drops. A sure thing, at least he has an option that gives that, “a sure thing” where as I don’t.

Maybe they can just let you do it on the same character again so you don’t have to roll another character. Just do it infinite times on the same character.
I think it definitely needs to stay as a requirement. It’s the best requirement. The only one that even makes sense as a player.

This is the one crafting requirement of ascended weapons that is actually well designed, , requires playing the game, and is fun to acquire. Everything else is a gold sink.

Or just make them tradeable. I have 6 gifts of exploration I’m not using, I’d gladly sell you one for 750gold >:D

Hahaha. Well that would defeat the purpose of having to actually do something for this gift. I wish all the gifts were like that. Not a big grind for materials, but achieving things in-game.

@OP I got my gift of exp like many of the others, by watching the wvw maps and seeing when my server seems to get ambitious attacking a map. It ended up being one keep w/ one vista for about a month or two until we finally got that map as our home map. Stay with it. Its annoying to get all of the wvw PoIs, but not game breaking if you time it right and stay aware of who’s winning in WvW. Barring that, if you are impatient, you can xfer servers.

I agree, watching paint dry is quite a well designed requirement.

Oh wait, it isnt, because terrible players can grind it for their legendary despite having zero skill, while someone like me who speed runs every day and plays on a level higher than most pugs is stuck because I’m not interested in boring myself to tears.
“legendary” weapon indeed.
