2891 hours, had my first precursor a couple of days ago. I got the bard out of a champ pouch. However after being informed of all the other expensive things i will need not sure if i will ever make a legendary, precursors dont seem that expensive in comparison.. Also i never play the mystic toliet lottery, dont see a point in wasting gold.

“Across all characters, you have played for 1932 hours 23 minutes over the past 819 days.”

No precursor drop, but so far I’ve gotten 5 ascended drops outside of fractals (four weapon boxes and one ring). I’m absolutely fine with this. When I finally do get a precursor drop it’s going to feel epic. If it were more common, I can’t imagine that the sense of luck/accomplishment would be the same.

I’ve tried my hand at the forge too, and haven’t had any luck there either. So I spent months saving gold and bought a pre. I thought having to outright buy one as a last resort wouldn’t feel epic, but it did. It was so much work and self restraint to save up that much gold, and aside from looking cool and making loud pewpew sounds, the predator is a monument to countless hours spent working towards one long term goal.

First time checking /age (that I can remember)so I can’t share with you my age per drop, but I can say I never got a precursor within the first year. So far I have got three precursors- Leaf of Kudzu, Chaos gun, and Storm.

I have done the same method since launch pretty much; world boss farm for reset, all rares go in bank til I have four of the same weapon type, and I dump them in the Mystic Forge. I mix & match water weapons.

Maw gave me my most recent one Storm.

I’ve played for just over 2,000 hours since launch and not had one drop.

In my case it’s not entirely surprising since I spend a lot of time playing on low level alts, and I rarely do world bosses, dungeons or other things that apparently have an increased chance of dropping a precursor.

On the other hand it took me just 7 months, playing normally about 2-3 hours a day (and selling everything I didn’t actually want in my bank) to buy The Lover.

4498 hours, no precursors. I don’t do the Forge or the champ trains, though, and some of those hours went to RP.

I’ve seen two guildies get precursors. One was in the first karka ancient kill (in game, not in the make-up mail), and one was in the last year while killing trash spiders on the way to the spike traps with Detha in AC. Karka gave the GS precursor, spider gave the mace precursor.

I do rarely get an exotic or something unusual (I’ve had some luck with dyes) but I would not consider my account to be anywhere near one of the “blessed” ones.

Funny,

In another thread when I was telling a new player about GW2…

I mentioned that, this game rewards people with big pockets as in, if your rich and buy gems you get the best gear in the game.

However traditionally MMORPGs are the other way as in, those who played for a long time and actually play the game, get the best gear in the game and being rich wont make you the best player in the game.

I been playing for a long time too, hardly have a full set of exotics and not even a legendary and no precursor drop ever as well.

I saw a thread on grinding for a mini, funny thing was… Why grind for that when you can grind gold faster another way and buy the mini rather than letting RNG play its thing, because like many of you guys, RNG isn’t very nice and grinding for a mini is a waste of time when you can be doing another grind that gets you the gold to buy it and possibly buy another one from all those hours spent.

3k+ hours since beta, I must not be playing in the places that they drop. Why are precursors so insanely hard to get? It’s just an exotic like all the others, so what if it has a recipe for combining it with other random stuff and you get a legendary, there’s nothing truly special about those either…

I got twilight recently, but I had to buy my pre after grinding gold for a hell of a long time. Had gifts of mastery, fortune, and Twilight for months. But no drop. Needless to say I was super sad.

6,806 hours – no precursors.

RNG is RNG, doesn’t matter how old the account is. I’ve seen a guy in his third day playing dropping a precursor inside the Tower of Nightmares.

If the scavenging hunt is a no go, I’d personally like an increased chance as the account gets old to drop a precursor, if none have before, as an one time thing. After you get your precursor, back to the ‘horrible’ normal RNG pool.

Ah, this thread again. Oh well, time for some more stats…

Playing since headstart (7296 hours / 842 days) and got my first from the forge (The Legend) at ~6200 hours / 596 days old.

So 4 days ago I log in after a bit of a break and decide to pop some champ bags. I open about 40 or so and find the Leaf of Kudzu sitting there. Accout age at drop – 837 days.

I made Bifrost with my first drop but sold Leaf of Kudzu for some welcome gold.

Never seen a pre drop, or in the party. None out of forge either. Never seen a Giant Eye, fractal skin, or a Teq hoard either. Two ascended chests, both in the last two months. Horrible RNG for everything has spoilt many aspects of the game for me.

A guildie has 8 legendaries. All from drops.

Even if I had the gold 20 times over I would not buy one from TP. As far as I’m concerned they don’t exist.
