Guild Wars 2

I havnet craft till 3 days ago. And i start craftin Spark for my tempest. Tier 1 really easy. But on Tier 2 The materials that Master weaponsmith is askin really insane. I didnt make calculation before start but i did now. Craftin any precusor way expensive than buyin from TP. Even u can gather all matierls normally u need for craftin a precusor and sell them on TP. With golds that u wil get u can buy precusor TP. U might be even make some pretty golds.

I really wonder is anet makin calculation about them? about what will be cost to players? Coz so far i used 55 Deldrimore ingots and some materials like that u can only craft one a day. I was alrady craftin it daily. But for new players or other playres who didnt do it have to craft 1 every day and wait at least 2 months. Or they have to buy from TP. Also if they buy from TP it will be soo expensive. Btw if they want to wait craft to ascended materials like 60 days meanwhile They can easily make 20 golds a day. And there are too many farm methods that u can farm at least 6-7 golds in a hour.

I checked forum but i couldt find any topic like this. But i knew there were some severals topics about precursor crafting.

And i really wonder why ANET made this precusor crafting is soo expensive? And i really want an explaiton or an answer froum dev or from any officers from ANET

Its about the journey not the destination.

20g a day = your doing it very wrong.

Don’t like this method go back to the old school method of gambling for pre – I made twilight in under a month from scratch to finish throwing 100g in a week worth of days

high end items are suppose to be….pricey

u mean craftin precusor is fair?
Thats what i said it has to be a journey but this craftin method is more likely spend spend spend. And also there is no balance between tiers.

Why u said “20g a day = your doing it very wrong.” ? U cant make 20g in a day. I gave as an example for craftin 1 by 1 item 60 days long. and if u make 20 golds a day u can make 1200golds and u can buy precusor.
Also i said u can make easily with some farm methods 6-7 in a hour.

i didnt said it musnt be pricey. But at least it must be with less materials and more griding.

And i think u didnt get my point.

It isn’t supposed to be something you do in a matter of minutes. It’s a long term goal.

I’m crafting a precursor. The only thing it’s costing me is time plus the gold.for the items.I can’t gather. I’m collecting my own mats.

you are not getting the point, its not intended for the player who wants to pick an optimal route to get a legendary, it is for those players who don’t care how long it takes and want to gather the materials as they go.

Crafting a precursor is, as others have pointed out, a long term goal. It’s for those who don’t want to do it by spending money on the TP. As such, if you try and do it short term by purchasing all the materials from the TP it is going to end up being VERY VERY expensive.

According to this post, crafting spark without buying any of the components is a good 200 gold less then buying it on the TP.

Dont just buy everything cause that will end up being more expensive then buying the precusor

No I know your point you want the whole precursor crafting thing to be a quicker cheaper method to obtain the legendary item. That wasn’t the point of the crafting system. Its an alternative to divert peoples focus on grinding every bit of gold to buy a tp listing.

I said you are doing it wrong if you are only making 20g a day, you can easily make upward to 100g a day …..just follow the crowd…..

also you get those sweet, sweet achievo points

Also, different precursors vary massively in mat requirements. If you are looking at costs involved, you are approaching it from a different angle than its intention. Its designed as a long term collection goal, not as a buy to sell strategy..

Rodgort cost me virtually nothing, except where my impatience took over

Afaik no where does it say that precursor crafting is supposed to be “cheaper” to craft. It is only a guaranteed method to receive a precursor unlike the previous methods which was gambling or buy it straight from the tp. Also I just checked for you it would cost you are 588gold to buy all the mats right now and craft spark. If you craft most of your materials over a period of time it will cost you around 500gold depending on price fluctuations. Overall, currently crafting spark is indeed cheaper than buying the pre outright. So… I don’t really know what you’re complaining about.

Lol, i didnt use any single “must be cheaper” word, i just said soo expensive. But every1 talkin about that. Also if u check materials price on TP u will get what i mean. I want more balance between Tiers and their items. And it must be long way journey but with this way its just up about how much gold u got to craft. And believe me most of player dont have this much patient. Also most of materials farming really take long. Meanwhile u can farm gold for farm that materials and buy precurosors from TP.

Yeah i know thats why i said u can farm at least 6-7 gold in a hour. Even if u just do fractals and teq daily u will get 14g in nearly 1 hour.

Again my complain is craftin precusor mustne be these much materials based it must be grinding and must be journey according to precusors theme. U can make tier 1 ina a day. Havent start T3 but its seems easier then T2. According to me T3 must be hard part. And Betwen tier must be more balanced.

And again i am writin i didnt say “IT MUST BE CHEAPER”.

wow, I can’t believe it is so cheap to craft spark now.

First of all, the price were like 1000 gold before, now you can get it 577 gold.

Second of all, the reason is cheap is probably some people actually craft them to sell.
