Guild Wars 2

With the introduction of mats (500) would that mean that all those (400) mats which has taken me nearly 5 months to collect and none is above 50 each will become obsolete towards building legendaries? I want to know to sell them before they lose all their value once (500) are introduced and are required for the Gift of Might, or to craft it ASAP before the changes roll out.

If it can affect the market, you can be sure they won’t tell you ahead of time. You’ll have to wait and see.

There is nothing that implies that the requirements for Legendaries will change with the new crafting materials.

The post said the mats (500) are made from lower tier mats, meaning that all of your (400) mats will still be relevant and valuable. Nothing so far indicates that legendary recipes will change. Perhaps the additional legendary will include an option of using less (500) mats to replace (400) mats (i.e., gift of magic and gift of might having 2 recipes to make, for 400 and 500).
