Guild Wars 2

Hi,

Apologies if this is common knowledge but I’ve been almost entirely inactive since July. I read recently that there were plans for implementing new legendary weapons at some point soon, is there any confirmation, or even valid guesswork, as to when this might occur? I’m interested specifically in legendary weapons, not armor or trinkets etc. Thanks!

Nothing have been said about new legendary weapons yet.

The “soon” part isn’t correct, they just said they have plans of making new legendaries, but there is no sign of when it could be implemented.

Honestly, the way legendary weapons are currently handled, I don’t wish to see any more legendaries in the game. It’s so sad to see those ‘special’ items on the trading post, being gold seller and trading post player fodder.

Ah I see, because I saw this article and was expecting the new weapons in the April Feature Pack but I guess I misinterpreted.

What about new methods for obtaining pre-cursors?

The OP of that topic ask about the same thing.

That is a list of things mentioned, and probably should have bullet points, or numbers or something. Precursors and Legendaries weren’t a sub-set of April Feature Pack, and indeed, the April Feature Pack should be removed as it is no long ‘up-coming’. You can read the footnote associated with Precursor and Legendaries, and see it refers to the 2013 blog about what’s coming for that year (or that half year). Colin spoke in early December (I believe it was at that time) that those items would not make it during 2013, and were postponed to a later date. Nothing more concrete has been announced.

Probably not for a long while

Hope some are coming, i’m running out of ascended things to craft and their still aren’t any good necro theme compatible legendary weapons yet.

I’m sort of waiting for anet to release new legendaries. With the assumption that any new legendaries will follow the same crafting guidelines, I have the materials for two pieces.

Can you imagine the price of T5 fine crafting materials and lvl 75+ rare/exotics if the new legendary precursors will be aquired in the same way as the old ones?

We have no reason to think that the cost of crafting materials will be any different for any new legendary weapons we may get. The only thing that I see could be different are the respective precursors and the associated gifts with each of those weapons.

As for the price increase with respect to new legendaries there will probably be a slight increase due to renewed interest in obtaining legendaries but I imagine that it will fall back down to current levels not long after its implementation.

Now as for legendary armor here is where I see a huge potential for increased demand in materials most notably the T6 ore, cloth, and leather. I imagine that each piece would require some ridiculous amount of magically imbued material.

I believe the introduction of legendary armor will have huge and long lasting effects on the market.
