Guild Wars 2

A precursor should be crafting in the same way the legendary it self is crafted, by getting components and MF’ing them. By doing things around the world it will encourage more players doing what is good/right and not Farming champs all day everyday.

I understand we are not getting any pre craft/hunt soon, and anet might already have a plan, but sense they dont like to share with us, I hope these will give some ideas.

Minor World Bosses
Each world boss, like Maw, Shaman, Fire Ele etc.. should have a chance to drop a component. Each boss in each region will drop a regional item.

Example: All bosses in Ascolan will drop “Ascolanian Essence” Shiverpeaks will drop its own and etc…

These items will need 3 other components from those regions:

Example: Ascolan – 100 chili peppers, Offering of Ascalon, the Essence dropped from bosses and 100 Pile of Shimmering Dust.

You will have 4 Regions item Components, once all 4 all are gain, MF all 4 of these for 1 final item. This 1 item will be 1/4 of the Precursor.

Epic Bosses
Karka Queen, Jormag, Teq and Triple Wurm will do the Same, they will each drop another MF able pieces. And will work similar to the Regions gifts.

This will make the 2nd part to Precursor.

Weapons Crafting
Should have a new recipe for each precursor, we will be making a look alike version for each precursor. Lets take “The Lover” The recipe should call for something just for it. 250 Feathers, 50 ecto, 250 of each bow component.

This isnt hard to get, but will take time and much more costly than the normal crafted item. Having something you have to get extra that is account bound item is the part players will have some difficulty with.

For Dawn you could have to have 250 Sun beads is another example.

This Recipe will determine what pre you will be crafting.

These items should cost around 300-400g max, IMO that is agood gold sink and will make all pres around 500-600g max, still will keep value of pres but will also make them manageable for players.

The final component should just be skill point based, an Eldritch scroll should do just fine.

So You have the 4 total components now. You MF these to gain a precursor.

In closing, it gives each Region something special that you need to get within its self, slight time gated materials with the need for all bosses and not just the easy ones, also giving items not being used a more useful means in the right way and finally makes a steady price for over flipped pres and still manageable and obtainable without the need for a credit card for months and months of champ grinding.
