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.
