Guild Wars 2

How long should this take? how much gold will it cost? Looking to finish it asap.

If you wanted to finish it today, it will cost alot.
It depends alot on how many materials you already have, but it can easily cost over 2000 gold if you want to buy all of the materials straight from the TP. Here is the breakdown of the cost of Nevermore, which is comparable in price.

It will also take a while to grind some bandit crest and other non-buyable currency, but you could potentially craft the whole legendary today. Personally i took it slow so i could craft all of the ascended materials myself, but that is up to you.

The crests are trivial compared to the piles of elder wood and mithril you’ll need if you aren’t buying them and that without factoring in the ones needs to make the daily timegated items.

So how would I make it today if there are time-gated items?

Oops, i forgot about Zinn’s study guide, that will take you 13 days to complete. After that the main timegate is getting ascended materials( which you can only make one of a day), but you can buy those on the TP. I dont think there are any other hard timegates other than the mini Zinn, but because i went slowly i could have just forgotten about them.

I made it a couple of months ago, it took about 1-2 months and 1.5-2k gold. I was passively farming HOT for a long time though. So I already had most before the new Legendaries released. It will take a while for the 250 Crystalline Ingots.

I crafted it a while ago and the cost was 2 800 g ..

Today , your looking at + / – 2 600 g , good luck with the Crystalline Ingots ….

I spent about 2000 gold on top of all the mats I had saved up. The gate on Zinn was the only hold up that couldn’t be overcome by spending gold.

In Astralaria 3 (correct me if I got the number wrong) The night time requirements were the most annoying thing. You just have to sit around and wait for night to fall.

Like 2800 gold.

Timed gated Mini Holagraphic Zinn – 13 days
Also Astralaria Vol. 3 in order to craft Ultra hot Sphere you’ll need a destroyer heart, which you can only get having a Quartz Vial in your inventory when you kill it which you need to craft, requiring:

- 5 Charged quartz crystal <—— this you can only charge 25 quartz crystals into 1 once a day.

Those are the only time gated items.

Took a month for me to craft it, including farming every maguuma mastery point. but the hell is thos crystaline ingots. that’s is going to take you a lot of maguuma meta events.

I loved to craft this legendary and i’m waiting for the Sword to be released, can’t wait.

GL with it.
