Since the addition of Aurora it’s pretty clear a Legendary Amulet will come eventually.
However something occured to me, what if the Triforge Pendant is in fact the precursor? Why would I think so? Well it is the only item that made a transition from Exotic to Ascended. The Fractal Capacitor and others like it don’t count as they did not exist before Ascended items were added and they were designed to make the transition.
I remember when it happened all Crystalline Dust got sold out from the TP. Because it was the only way to get an Ascended Amulet other than through Laurels and people wanted to get the extra +5 resistance as fast as possible. This is exactly why ANET added the ability to salvage Globs of Ectoplasm into Crystalline dust. However since then the usefulness of the Triforge Pendant had diminished greatly. As eventually everyone got enough Laurels to get as many amulets as they want and we now have more ways to get them. Most notably the LW3 and Raid Amulets which allow us to select stats. And the only stats the Triforge Pendant has is always Celestial and it’s not the only one as Syzygy, Eye of Janthir and The Eyes of Abaddon do too. Currently the best amulet in the game is the Blood Ruby Pendant as it almost is a Legendary Amulet since you can reset it’s stats.
However it is the most expensive Amulet to get, by current market prices of all the materials required to make it, it costs around 550g. So the cost of making it is comparable to precursors. And the Triforge Pendant has a deeper meaning to it as “Triforge” was the original name of ANET.
So I really think it will have something to do with the Legendary Amulet once it is introduced, if not a precursor it will probably be needed for the collection or as an unlock item. However given it’s cost it would work well as a precursor.
But you can say that it won’t happen because then we could make multiple Legendary amulets. Not really no, because the situation would be same as with Ad Infinitum, you can also craft Unbound again if you like, but you get Gift of Infinity only once so you can’t make Ad Infinitum more than once. So Triforge Pendant would also have some unique gift required to turn it into a Legendary Amulet.
And I also know I’m ranting about unimportant stuff here, but I just wanted to share my thought on this.
