Guild Wars 2

Seeing the next set of legendaries uses different gifts many players (myself included) have crafted the previous gifts in anticipation. Is there no way we will be able to disassemble these items into the base components? (i.e. a vendor that sells a box containing each component – currency is the gift)

Or are we just supposed to make a legendary then sell them so we can get what we want? (Rebuilding from scratch)

If you had actually taken the time to watch the video about legendaries if YOU Cared your question would be answered. I am sure someone nicer than me will tell you because I am not going to.

So far no there is not a way to do so (there was even a thread by someone in your position who simply vendored them)

I think that’s a bit shortsighted, yes its a big undertaking to craft one to sell, but that’s a huge chunk of the cost right there.

I’d wait and see what happens before doing anything drastic. If they do add something that takes it apart or lets you trade for a comparable HoT part (unlikely) then anyone throwing them away is going to feel rather dumb.

Breaking news from today’s livestream

“Gift of Fortune/Gift of Exploration not being used in new legendaries. Gift of Exploration is for map completion in Central Tyria and not required for new legendaries which require only world complete in the new HoT zones. After HoT ships, we will be add a salvage table for Gift of Fortune so you can salvage the parts and get back all the components you can put in the new Mystic of Fortune.”
