I vaguely remember before the game came out, or shortly thereafter, arenanet mentioning in a post about legendaries that there would be hints hidden throughout the world of Tyria as to how to acquire these weapons.

I was expecting this would mean something like running across cave paintings and ancient tomes that would subtly hint at how legendaries are made.

But, I haven’t found anything at all in the game world about legendaries. Do these hints exist? I’ve only ever referred to the wiki for all I need to know about legendaries, but I’m curious as to how other players figured them out.

do you mean legendaries or precursors? There’s a big difference between the two.

I think the players who founded the recipe figured it out in beta. It was told that the recipe was changed a bit on release, so they probably just did a bunch of testing with what wasn’t changed.

All I know is that I’m thankful that people have already created legendaries, like Twilight, because there is no way in hell I would have figured out what I needed for it. The reqs are absurd, but totally worth it when I have it!

For a little while I thought Fear Not This Night might have been a clue, because the lyrics go “Dawn is just a heartbeat away, hope is just a Sunrise away …”, but the recipes have been figured out long before so I gave up on trying to make anything of it.

I’m guessing this was a hint about Triforge, although it’s not legendary

Nice catch, where is that building? I’ve never seen it. Definitely looks like you’re on to something though.

It’s in Queensdale, shown by the vista at CM. But i think the same building is in part of Divinity’s Reach.

The best hints were alpha testers, ie. the world-first folks.
