Guild Wars 2

Hello guys, having successfully crafted my astonishing Bifrost, I wanted to share some secrets that for some reason the “rich” are withholding from the general player base. Before I continue I will just say that the information I will give here is still not 100% scientific and if you’re the unluckiest person on earth it may still not help you. I’ll go topic by topic and I hope it helps our community. Again not everything stated here are brand new concepts but I’ll explain how I tweaked my “gambling” experience to slowly get to my legendary:

The Precursor game:

First rule of thumb, don’t go for your own precursor just yet if you don’t already have vast sums of gold around 150-200g mark. Let’s make some money first.

Second rule of thumb, use moderation! Limit your “gambling” activities to 25% of your cash at all times. This is important to “enjoy” the process and not rage quit if you go bankrupt. Be patient, you’ll get there…

Now the sweet part…

Go and place orders for random rare weapons, the cheapest one you can get level 74 and up. Accumulate like 100-200 of them aim at prices 16sil-20silver max. When you are ready do this exactly:

a.Toss 4 level 74 rares. You’ll either get a level 80 rare or an exotic. Keep the exotic.
b.Toss the level 80 rare with 3 level 74 rares. In my experience this increases your chances of getting a precursor.
c. Rinse and repeat.
d. When you’re finished look at the stuff you got. You’ll have some named exotics, some routine exotics and probably even a precursor. Sell the ones that go for a high price and be patient! do not sell them to the highest bidder.
e. Give it time and you’ll get back a significant portion of your investment. If not, rule of thumb 2.. You still have 75% of your total gold. DO NOT spend more of your total sum of gold..

With this method slowly you’ll begin to get some shinies that will increase your gold pool. I got a dawn, a hunter and a legend this way and I started with a 20g gambling pool to begin with…

Now when you have somewhere around 200g and you want your own precursor… If the method above didn’t work for you, again allocate 25% of your money.. and start playing with:

a. Level 74 rares that belong to your own weapon class. Buy the cheapest level 74-80 rares that belong to your class. or..
b. Level 74 exotics that belong to your own weapon class. Again buy the cheapest ones available.

Method b gets you level 80 exotics almost every time so higher the chance. IMPORTANT at both methods keep the “expensive exotics for sale” and toss in 1 level 80 exotic or rare along with 3 lvl 74 exotic or rares. This will boost your chances..

Summary: The forge is a gamble, and as with all things involving luck, the more you try the more chances you have to get what you want. HOWEVER limit your funds that you allocate to it and you’ll enjoy it immensely even if you lose you know a couple of days later you can play again. And trust me with this method when you get some “shiny” to sell or use for your character you feel very good about it

I financed all my legendary costs in this way.

Cheers and I hope this helps some people struggling to get their legendary weapons.

Nice info, But you are still playing a TON more then the average person.

A 20 gold pool??? At 25% that means you had 100 gold to start. I just got to 20 gold total and I play alot more then the average player I know.

Secret to money making is gambling (or risk taking), whether in Mystic Forge or TP. Of course, TP gambling is more of a “calculated risk” rather than RNG (i.e. analyzing what sells, what don’t, what’s coming new, what new patches are going to bring/remove, etc).

Same works for stocks in real life, it’s gambling, but a risk. You can put all your money in a stock, or put some, up to the discretion of the person.

Then there’s the “most common way”, farming. Typical to your common place worker. It pays, but not as big, but not too high risk….but that’s the trade off: high risk, high rewards.

Or you can become an outlaw and do nasty stuff, and in the game, that means you can hack. But same principle: high risk = high rewards. Some risks are legal, some are not. If you want the safe way, do normal farming. If you want fast track and have patience, you can spend a good deal of time learning TP, and then you can also gamble in Forge…

Regardless of playing it smart or not… it’s still a huge investment into farming/gambling/money-making and not really engaging the content to be challenged and rewarded for defeating the challenge.

Grats, you got lucky 3 times and you started off with 20g. I haven’t been lucky once and I used 160g. I wish I had your dedication, skill, and talent to take on this most difficult challenge. I have enough jelly to make 200 jelly samiches, so who wants one?

Taisia.2813:

Second rule of thumb, use moderation! Limit your “gambling” activities to 25% of your cash at all times. This is important to “enjoy” the process and not rage quit if you go bankrupt. Be patient, you’ll get there…

This applies to any form of “gambling” for profit.

Buying unidentified dyes, playing the TP, combining weapons in the Mystic Forge, etc.

I cannot stress it enough, when you are gambling you should always be prepared to lose what you are spending. Never bet everything on getting the result you want out of an RNG system.

I agree with you on this, I wish you got a precursor when you get the Dungeon Master Achievement or something like this.. It would be better off being tied to a remarkable achievement of skill, dedication and teamwork.. Alas it’s the way it is atm..

Dungeon Master requires remarkable skill?

Precursor formulas are being released within the month. Keep an eye out.

DM is the hardest thing to get in this game but that’s not saying much at all because the vast vast majority of stuff is easy.

as for the topic at hand, it’s nothing but luck, theres no tactic to this at all, people have been discusing these issues for a long time in the Crafting Forum.

gz on your Legendary.

Jestunhi.7429:

Dungeon Master requires remarkable skill?

I was merely saying that it would be more tied to your dedication to beating the content in the game.. Given what’s available in the game atm, a dungeon master achievement is in fact the most prestigious PVE reward.

I consider this one of the lamer aspects of the game.

For the most part, the player economy in GW2 is horrible. There is little you can sell beyond raw materials since so much stuff goes for vendor prices or cost of mats. Too much supply, not enough demand, and brutal listing/selling fees.

The only big profit items are things you get thru luck in the MF. So much for being a skill-based game.

I think this is one reason my interest in GW2 is waning. The player econ is setup entirely to benefit ANet, not players.

I list a few things I get that are actually worth selling and once in a while I dump excess crafting mats since outside of exotics there isn’t much point in making anything to sell. I barely touch the market at all since there just isn’t much point.

In more typical MMORPGs I’d be heavily involved in the market doing all kinds of buying and selling and would have dozens of auctions going at all times. It’s not like it was get rich quick and easy, most people aren’t that great at player econ regardless of game.

I have a nice pile of gold in GW2, it just isn’t very much fun at all acquiring it vs the enjoyment of the economic/player econ minigame in other games.

I really, really dislike the MF – I like to achieve and gain due to skill and tenacity, not due to luck.

I’m not sure if this intentionally misleading, or a mistake but before anyone does this

Lvl 74 rares DO NOT REWARD PRECURSORS This has been confirmed by the devs, only lvl 75 and above rares can reward precursors.

Because of this I’m very sceptical about OP trying to make a big profit from having a lot of lvl74 rares and trying to make a big demand for them now, which probably isn’t the scenario, sorry, I’m a pessimistic person.

but 74 rares do reward precursors and a dev has never said they DONT, the chance was just fixed after the whole Godskull incident that caused the precursor mess in the first place.

your chances just go higher when you use higher level items as you limit what the MF can spit back out at you.

Yes they did say level 74 rares DO NOT reward precursors, I even PM’d Linsey Murdock about the case, and she confirmed that level 74 and below rares DON’T reward precursors. (I can post evidence)

Any sort of source on this at all or just a personal theory?

1. How do you even make 20g wtf bbqsauce i’ve been lvl 80 for a month and a half, i’m bad at this game
2. Do the weapons have to be the same type? so to get bolt or zap or whatever, do I have to put in ONLY swords or can I just use any weapons (sword, shield, gs, mace) and still have a chance to get that?
3. How do you make 20g? I have some investments in my bag that I want to sell for christmas but I can’t even put them on tp cuz of the taxes.
4. how do you make 20g?

I can assure you 100% that I did get the hunter from 3 lvl 74 rares and 1 lvl 80 rare as in the method I described.. I have no wish to make more money in the game I reached my goal and just wanted to help people that’s all.. So sorry to hear you say this tbh..

The reason why I marked exotics is because I asked this after reading a thread in which she (and/or one of the other devs) replied that precursors no longer drop from lower than l75 rares. And in that thread people including me were unsure if there was any change similar like this to the exotic reforging. And as you can see, no the exotics 71 and above can still drop the precursors, but the 75+ rare thing was also confirmed in that thread (as you can see, a month ago)

Put on full MF gear and farm karma and cash while in a group with other people.. Not the best way to make money or the most enjoyable… but it will get you there

it says nothing but the fact u can use 3x lvl 74 or less items and 1×75+ and get a precursor as the OP has described in his method.

you just again have a lower chance because the MF has a bigger list of items it can spit back out at you as opposed to using all level +75 stuff.

I think by saying “give or take a couple of levels” Linsey hinted at 74 being a viable alternative. I did get a precursor that way and I have no reason to lie about it.. As I said so many people were asking me for advice and I just wanted to provide it.

Lol..this..process is somehow legendary?

Put pixels in Mystic Slot Machine to get out different pixels…this is a joke, right?

There are some awesome models for class-based, epic item quests out there in the MMO gene-pool…processes that involve player skill, class knowledge, social networking, and group effort…but in GW2 all I have to do is play musical containers till the RNG coughs up the thing I want?

ROFL…Legendary fail in game design IMHO.

Lorana.2468:

Taisia.2813:

a.Toss 4 level 74 rares.

b.Toss the level 80 rare with 3 level 74 rares. In my experience this increases your chances of getting a precursor.

it’s what gets the whole “batch” of 74’s up to level 80 in my opinion and experience.. I get a lot of exotics and when lucky precursors this way..

I dunno man… I think “Only 75+ Rares” pretty bluntly states it… When did your precursor drop?
I’m not trying to be a prick here, I’m just sceptical, and yes, other than the “toss level 74 rares into the MF”, the other information you gave on the whole precursor business is useful, and thanks.

also I edited my earlier evidence post to provide more info why she replied that, please read it (my fault though, should have wrote it in the post from the start)
Anyway, the main point there was if 71-75 exotic drops precurors, or not cause it didn’t feel logical if they wouldn’t drop them, since they ARE exotics, they just weren’t clear on the exotic part in their post about the drop changes, only the rare part.

For the most part, the player economy in GW2 is horrible. There is little you can sell beyond raw materials since so much stuff goes for vendor prices or cost of mats. Too much supply, not enough demand, and brutal listing/selling fees.

Then how do the people playing the market make so much money on there?

The only big profit items are things you get thru luck in the MF. So much for being a skill-based game.

Firstly, when it’s a “skill-based” game, I don;t think that means it requires skill to loot a dead body, nor that the game somehow assesses your level of skill and provides the appropriate reward.

Secondly, MF makes it more likely, but is not a requirement. Imagine an item with a 0.5% drop rate. 200% MF would increase this to 2%. Hardly a gamebreaking difference.

I think this is one reason my interest in GW2 is waning. The player econ is setup entirely to benefit ANet, not players.

False, it benefits me and I am in no way affiliated with ANet. It also benefits the other people who earn buttloads of gold from it.

I list a few things I get that are actually worth selling and once in a while I dump excess crafting mats since outside of exotics there isn’t much point in making anything to sell. I barely touch the market at all since there just isn’t much point.

There is plenty of point, but once again it’s not a requirement. If you don’t want to play the market then no one is forcing you to.

In more typical MMORPGs I’d be heavily involved in the market doing all kinds of buying and selling and would have dozens of auctions going at all times. It’s not like it was get rich quick and easy, most people aren’t that great at player econ regardless of game.

Well it’s simple enough to get rich quick on the TP here. There are plenty of 3rd party websites tracking the historic listings as well as current prices.

I have a nice pile of gold in GW2, it just isn’t very much fun at all acquiring it vs the enjoyment of the economic/player econ minigame in other games.

I think the fun should come from playing a game that you enjoy, not increasing a number at the bottom of your inventory window. But to each their own!

I really, really dislike the MF – I like to achieve and gain due to skill and tenacity, not due to luck.

Loot is RNG whether you have MF or not, MF in no way makes it any more luck based.

I don’t understand your complaint about MF at all…

I’m sitting around 240 Exotic Staffs thrown into forge and no “The Legend” yet. I feel you.

Edit: I wish the GMs were more transparent on the methods to obtain precursors were. There’s contradicting claims here and I personally hate gambling in the dark not knowing at least my odds of obtaining certain items.

Do x4 71 Exotics have the same chance at x4 76 exotics to get a precursor?
Can the OP’s claim of x3 74 rares + x1 80 rare get a precursor?
Do Mystic Forge Stones work as the highest item level/lowest item?

Sigh @ all of this speculation

Of course, people need to discover them before they are shared, and they tend to let friends get the item too. Once the recipe becomes public knowledge you can expect the ingredient prices to rocket.

Yeah, my bad. Wasn’t paying enough attention when replying.

I think the other sensible thing is to perform all the other tasks before going for the precursor. If you’ve farmed the million + karma, world complete, etc, then 20g worth of rares won’t seem so spendy.

I’m there. 20G? Hah.

20G in Rares is nothing. If you get your precursor in 20G of rares, you are on the upper side of the distribution for Mystic Forge Precursor attempts.

My point wasn’t that you’d get it in 20G, just that if you’ve gathered the 250 stacks of mats, the 500 badges, million karma, etc, After gathering all that, to fill your bags with cheap rares and exotics for the forge won’t seem like a big deal. (my bags won’t hold more than 20 G of forge fuel)

I get the feeling most people who’re complaining about the price of precursors haven’t yet done the other hard parts.

Buying 25 diffrent lvl 74 Rares right now + 25 of the cheapest lvl 80´s
i will let you know the results of my 50 atempts.

This thing is a more of a silly joke now unfortunatly. Right now those percursors have turned in to a “pay to win” issue and i bet a lot of people keep overloading the gem-store in hope of catching up with the monopolized weapons on the TP. I really wish Anet would do something though, cause i cant see the big deal of changing the formula for the legendary itself to make it more difficult. and rather disscard the entire concept of a “Tradeable” weapons that none will ever get their hands on. Yes i do agree(before the trolls start flameing)that the legendary should be really and i mean really horribly difficult to get, but turning it into a casino does not seem like a realistic approach in the long run. If people stop playing because of this, the only people with legendary weapons, will be the only ones on the server at all.(hypothetically ofc)

Glad I have no hunger for a Legendary. Gambling when you don’t know the odds is never a good idea, as I found out the one time I tried playing feed the forge dyes!

Thanks to the OP Taisia for sharing this information.

Congrats on getting your legendary btw I’d like to state that up until now, I’ve always tried MF combines with level 80 weapons thinking/assuming that the higher tiered weapons would return the best results.

Your results seem to indicate otherwise. I’ll try some combines out with your advice and will report back any success or failures when I have a decent amount of data.

Thank you for your contribution.

You’ll need 75 lvl 74 rares + 25 lvl 80s to make 25 attempts without recycling. With recycling, the number of attempts depends how many exotics you get. Imagine you’ll get 5 or 6 more.

I will try it after xmas…. Going to need he golds for xmas skins first

Getting a legendary from a slot machine is anything but legendary. It’s a waste of time, money and will bore your average player to tears.

I suppose it makes sense for players to place value in thier appearance; especially if the game mechanics are lacking creativity and the game itself is easy enough to make a 10 year old fall asleep at the keyboard.

If I wanted to gamble I’d hit up vegas. Games are a place for me to get away from real life crap.
