Guild Wars 2

So I decided to drop some daggers and bang got this sweet spark out of nothing, so I decided to try my luck and go for The Legend and make my Bifrost and paff, the forge ate the 650g from Spark plus 300g more I threw up for being stubborn and angry at the thing, so don’t tell me it has DR or something?

No DR, just RNG. You got very lucky once and then had the typical experience (not so lucky) for the next 950g you gambled.

Well I guess I been lucky in the past, I usually gambled 400g and pulled something out, I once pulled Dusk and Dawn almost one after another, guess my luck has run out.

Your luck has created unreasonable expectations.

Those who do “industrial forging” can end up being 5000 gold in the hole before getting a precursor. The wiki’s article on the forge has some decent estimates of the drop rates.

to add a personal experience i dropped 120 gold and got dawn once. i proceeded to spend 1k gold trying to get dusk and got nothing.

Just pure random. The Mystic Forge is a gold sink, anet balances the chances of you getting a precursor against you. The chance of getting a legendary out has to be very small in order to keep prices and rarity up.

Over the past 4 years I have had 2 precursors drop, neither from the forge. I have made a total of 13 legendaries, mostly from precursors I bought.

When they created the first HoT legendary weapons they said they should have started that way. I have been saying this since year 1. Reality is there is nothing legendary about the legendary weapons, you can buy them off the TP quite easily.

No DR for MF. Got ~15 precursors from MF since start. At worst spent ~2k gold for “The Legend”. Usually it takes less. I dont count money, i expect to use 1500-2000 rares.
