I can’t be the only one who wants to craft a precursor but struggles with the masses of time gated materials (like lump of mithrillium for deldrimor steel ingots).
This is just way too much waiting and really a turn off.
Extremely annoying because I’m doomed to wait.. not just a week or something but as I can see now 1 month (wtf!) for me to progress and I’m right in the middle of the crafting/collection.
Or am I just missing something or doing wrong? I hope so because otherwise it’s an unbearable condition for me to craft a precursor.

And that’s why you don’t farm nothing but gold in SW.In 20 days,you can get 3.500 gold and buy whatever you want.As for items,which you can craft once a day,log in,craft,and go back to SW.

There’s really no point to farm veins,trees or anything else.By the time you farm 200 ores,you can farm 40 gold and buy all.

Now comes part " Having legendary item,is not meant to achieve in 2-3 months after game release.Expansion last whole year(if they follow that logic)There’s no possible reason to wish for Legendary asap,but to link it 24/7 in Lion’s Arch or to make Youtube video,about item you got,so others can comment like" gz bro,u made it,u best bro,gj man" Plenty of time to craft it.

So tldr: precursor crafting is useless. Why did they even add it?!
Before there are just “it isn’t meant to be done fast” posts are coming: the time to progress is just WAITING and that’s annoying. Do I even need to explain it further why it’s bad (to say it in a nice way). I would prefer to get some other materials or tasks or whatever.. but it’s useless waiting.
