Guild Wars 2

As the title states, is there any dirt on new, upcoming legendaries?
When will we be able to craft or have a cheaper way to attain them?

I wouldn’t want to craft a legendary & find out new ones are coming out that I find much more appealing.
Or spend 1000g on a precursor & be informed that they’ve become craftable.

An answer from a dev would be much appreciated. I’m not asking for a specific date but more of a rough “sketch” of when they’ll be available or if they ever will be.

Thanks to all the responds in advance!

Devs won’t answer until release window. If you are looking for mushroom farmers you will find plenty.

Soon™

they will never tell us, unless the implementation is imminent, because:

1) it would significantly alter the economy/TP prices
2) anything they say about it (general or specific) will be viewed as a “promise”. breaking one of these “promises” results in forum meltdown and constant “Anet Lied” threads.

no one knows if they are working on other ways to get precursors, or implementing new legendary weapons (probably get armor or back pieces before new weapons). so its best to just let it go.

if you like one of the current legendaries….craft it. if not, hold out (or just craft an ascended as a placeholder) and hope they surprise us.

I dont even care if they go back on thier word or whatever, that’s old news. It’s almost expected with some things lol. I’d just appreciate some heads up that they’re coming at least this year because I’ve really run out on things to work for atm.

I was wondering the same thing as the OP, but I guess I should have known better than to think that any new info would be forthcoming.

So how do you know crafting a precursor is going to be cheaper?

I salivate at the thought of precursor crafting. Never been into crafting myself, but thinking of selling all those mats… The GOLD!

I reckon it’ll be implemented in the year 2017 – at this rate anyway.

It was what, about a year ago they said they’d have precursor crafting in 2013. But it still hasn’t happened. They haven’t even so much as mentioned it since they said it wouldn’t make it in 2013 after all. Meanwhile precursor prices continue to climb at a ridiculous rate.

I still wonder what they were thinking, they said it got released at the end of 2013 and now, 8 months later still weren’t able to introduce new legendaries or even crafting. Crafting wouldn’t be a problem – they could’ve introduced it, but I think since they like the income from real money of frustrated people who just buy 200€ worth of gems to buy the precursor, they will wait. I really get more and more annoyed by the omnipresence and importance of this gem shop… Good were the old times where you just had to buy 10-15€ per months in classic MMOs ..yaaaay..

Not true. They gave an update about the state of Precursor Crafting right before the Feature Patch. You can find it over in the Crafting sub-forum.

I don’t think it’ll happen. Its one of the things I have been waiting for since…hmm, well over a year. But they are pre-occupied with other forms of content.
