Guild Wars 2

Hi folks,

Just hit 80. What’s the best way to gain currencies and get legendaries?

Currency:

DUNGEONS, 1.26 gold + drops from most dungeons, 1.76 gold from AC and Arah 3, or 3.26 gold from arah 1,2,4. Per path…
People generally run
AC Full (5g28s), tokens will buy soldiers armor/weapons, good money
CoF 1,2(2g52) , tokens will buy zerk armor/weapons, very fast
SE 1,3 (2g52), fast.
TA fw/up (2g52), just because it’s night as well
CoE Full (3g 78), charged cores/lodestones
ALL NIGHT DUNGEONS (sigil of night/force, dont forget food (ignore AC foodwise)
Do path sell stuff, buy exotics with salvageable inscriptions/insignia’s… Also provides dungeon tokens

Other options are
Farming:
Orr train… (or l80 mats in Orr, frotgorge, Dry Top Silverwastes)
Silverwastes for some rares and huge amounts of greens.
World Bosses (guaranteed rare(s) & for an added chance of precursors (so they say…))
EotM… Well it’s better then other WvW maps… Provides karma

PvP
If you like PvP you could get up to 15 gold from arena’s/day I do not play PvP…
Provides tomes for speed leveling, when at decent level

Legendaries:

Get needed crafting proffesions to 400
Get a precursor (70-1100 gold) or be lucky in the toilet.
Get Map completion,
Get WVW unlocked and mapped,
Find out what dungeon you’ll need for your legendary.
Get a LOT of karma in EotM.
Then get an additional 1200 gold and craft one, using crafting (stacks of Ecto’s, stack of T6(all), and materials for your specific gift, some do need a lot of charged lodestones, making the stacks of T6 the least of your problems.)

Or skip it all earn 3000+ gold and buy one…. Which is lazy and IMHO unrewarding, making your then-not-so-legendary nothing but a skin bought from the TP.

A more sanity retentive method for obtaining precursors is coming with the expansion, I’d recommend working on the rest now and waiting until then to go for the precursor.

^what he said

/15char

there are many ways of getting gold and mats for a legendary, some are more efficient than others but none of them are super fast make a legendary in 3 days kind of a thing….

Theoretically you could use a mystic forge, plop 100 gold worth of rares in it and get a 1400g worth dusk….sell it,buy another 100gold worth of rares and get 2nd 1400g worth of dusk….

But practically its kinda almost impossible…. but who am i to tell you that. Try your luck!….i mean… Try gw2 rng!

Don’t grind yourself out now mate…

I would suggest you play the game and see how it goes.
