Guild Wars 2

Some players, myself included, do not like the current RNG way obtaining precursors. Below is a plan of how I think players should be able to obtain a precursor.

Step 1: Add a new vender that can sell three different gifts (one for PVE, WVW, and PVP). This vender would only sell 1 of these gifts per month, this would create a 3 month-minimum time gate and would (hopefully) give the economy time to react to the potential influx of precursors. Or alternatively these precursors could be bound to your account when you purchase them.

A) Gift of the Dungeoneer (PVE) Collect 2,500 tokens from each dungeon.
B) Gift of the Tactician (WVW) Collect 20,000 Badges of Honor.
C) Gift of the Warmonger (PVP) Obtain rank 20 in PVP.

Step 2: Combine the 3 Gifts (above) with a Gift of Exploration to create a redeemable token that can be used to purchase any precursor from the new vender.

Do you like this idea, do you hate it? Post your feedback below!

Seems decent, but the numbers are way off. 2500 of each token would be so many dungeon runs you could buy a precursor with just the end of dungeon rewards.

I think the best way to implement a surefire method of acquiring a precursor would be through collections. It might have been an inspiration for the whole system anyway. Some of these collections cost way more to complete than a precursor.

Yeah the dungeons tokens would probably be better around 800-1000 from each. The other gift requirements could probably be tuned down a bit also. But the amount of effort that goes into obtaining a precursor should still be fairly high, and somewhat time consuming. I like the idea using collections, maybe instead of using a Gift of Exploration, you must have completed X amount of collections. I think all game modes PVE, WVW, and PVP should be included in “crafting” the precursor.
