Guild Wars 2

Been playing since launch

The Legend
Mystic Forge (3 random exotics + MF stone)
June 2013

Leaf of kudzu
Mystic Forge (3 random exotics + MF stone)
July 2014

Oh, and I sold both …

I had a dream I got one from the exotic dragon chest from Tequatl last night. Tooth of Frostfang, but I accidentally bound it to my character instead of selling it to buy Dusk.

Ive gotten 2.

Storm
Young Karka during the Steampipe Steading event.

Dusk
4 Rare GS’s in the Toilet.

Ive probably put about 100g into the toilet total.

Essence Snow.3194:

Storm
TP-had no other choice…..well over 1k g..maybe over 2k g thrown in toilet
4.15k hours

I am convinced my account is marked as just about every member of my guild and fl (300+ ppl) have less than 1/2 my hours and have gotten much more and much better drops also better luck with forge than I have.

Update

Leaf of Kudzu~TP
Chaos Gun~TP
Howl~TP
Zap~TP

The Legend~Mystic Forge but only after over 3k gold being thrown in.

7,325 hours played and still convinced my account is marked.

Zap-TP for 300g 1k hours
Spark-TP for 1200g 3k hours

2 Precursors

Zap at Ancient Karka Queen boss chest during the special weekend event in Nov 2012.

Leaf of Kudzu. Dropped from random mob in a 49 fractal earlier this year.

nonrelated:
this morning I threw my earnings in the well
I had 3 exotics and a mystic stone:
I got.. tadaaa.. KEVIN!!
me and my guildies couldn’t stop laughing for about 10 minutes.. best drop I have had in days

thehipone.6812:

Venom, less than 10 gold off the TP after the karka attack living story event.
Tooth of Frostfang, TP buy order ~500gold maybe 4-5 months ago

Too many hours, probably closing in on 2k.

Happy update to add:

Dawn from a random Risen in the south of Cursed Shore.

Hard to explain, but this one feels different because I acquired it myself and didn’t just grind gold to buy it like Tooth. Funny enough, I had just bought Howl a few days before getting the Dawn…choices choices.

3 drops so far over the last 2 years

Leaf of Kudzu- Aetherblade Captain during Scarlett’s zone invasions (420% MF) at the time

The Lover- The first boss in SE path 3, I was shocked

Chaos Gun— 3 days ago, off a Champion Troll in Jormag Phase 2

No drop so far from enemies, in spite of thousands of hours playtime.
But 5 precursors from Zomorros (torch, focus, 2x pistol, and 10 days ago The Legend), without even trying much, three of them within 51 minutes….

I bought Dusk for 1,320g on the TP :-P

A guy in my FOTM 38 PUG got The Lover from the final chest last night. First time I’ve ever seen a precursor drop. Miracles really do happen!

The Lover – bought on TP for 600-ish gold a while back; used to make Dreamer

Carcharias – from mystic forge, after dropping a few hundred rares of varying types into it; still haven’t found the energy to create the legendary out of it

The Legend – dropped in WvW, sold on TP to buy Dusk and make Twilight
