Guild Wars 2

• Summary & Details:

Hello everyone, New and Veteran Player’s. This Post is about the yet to be released Legendary Armor, so far we can obtain the Envoy Armor Experimental I and yet to have the full Envoy Armor Refined II implemented in a future patch. Raiding content is required for Collection’s and Gift of Prowess.
This post is too bring official information about the Legendary Armor to these forums. Also talk about specific issues with obtaining items, doing a specific part of the collection’s properly, and PvE related too Collection/Items/Events, ect. You can start your Legendary Armor Collections after participation in killing a Raid boss within Forsaken Thicket. You should also try Escort in Wing 3, with people willing to teach you. Dulfy has Raid Guides as well.

Yes, Legendary Armor is difficult to obtain, it takes months of Raiding and playing the game. This isn’t going to include the discussion about how the “Envoy Legendary Armor should not be apart of Raiding Content”. This discussion is about what is relevant and how we are going to be completing the Legendary Armor that’s going to be in GW2. And this is to educate those interested in what it takes too make Legendary Armor, also for the player(s) looking for a long-lasting-goal.

All links will bring you to the, official wiki.guildwars2 or Dulfy, web pages. These Gifts created in the Mystic Forge are not yet in the game. But you may work for the material to obtain the components before release or after.

Legendary Armor is one of the most massive grinds in GW2, like the Legendary Weapons, but since it is tied to Raiding content it will take long playing hours too achieve. You will need to find a dependable raiding guild that wants to improve player(s) and takes the content seriously. Have fun doing it. Surprisingly you don’t need Gift of Maguuma Mastery item to make this Armor. You’ll have to get 6 Gift of Craftsmanship. This isn’t so difficult to obtain currently but we might see another way to get this item, not confirmed.

Chak Egg, used in Gift of Dedication, related to specific items and currency from all HoT Maps. This item can be the most difficult to farm and time gated behind the King of the Jungle Meta in Tangled Depths. It helps a lot to use a map timer dedicated to HoT zones, on Dulfy. This event itself is not very difficult since ArenaNet had patched HoT within early 2016 to be more casual, Raids & Hero Points were not nerfed by this patch. What makes farming Chak Egg’s difficult is not only the 1:30:00 or 2:00:00 timer for Tangle Depths Meta Event, but getting players wanting to do the Meta. A minority will want to do it for the Legendary Armor, but the rewards may not be as tempting as the other HoT Maps and Hivemaster may not motivate player(s) to enjoy playing in the massive Tangled Depths. It also requires a high level of Mastery too navigate the zone properly. I have no information on Legendary Crafting Mastery requirements to be able to make Legendary Armor, the Legendary Crafting Masterys specify the Legendary Weapons, related to Core Tyria and HoT Expansion. There are also common Hero Point Trains, a knowledgeable Commander will post their Squad in the LFG Tool usually this commander will not lead their Squad to the Meta Event(s) because the map takes a long time to navigate and they have a ton of players to maintain and keep together. So do not attempt the King of the Jungle Meta while a unwilling Hero Points Train Group is running on the map. If you’re lucky, once in a blue moon (moons are hardly ever blue) you may find a guild in LFG doing the TD Meta, be happy to find those and maybe join that guild if they do it often.

I’m sure there is a lot more topics about the unnecessary difficulty of a collection item or other, but I’ll bring up Chak Egg’s ’cause there is a lot of information about why it is frustrating and this is a good place to understand what to do so your experience is more fun. Happy Collecting.

There is other topics to be explored and expanded on within the Collections, Gifts, Material, Items, and other. This is a Post to gain player knowledge and answer questions.

Feel free to share your discovery.

• Gerent’s Chest will always give 1 Chak Egg for participation in the meta, also a rare chance of 5 or 10.

• Faction Provisioner, Provisioner Token, Gift of Craftsmanship.

Gift of Prosperity is alike Gift of Fortune and Mystic Tribute, It has RNG and massive material gold sink. Gift of Prosperity requires you to do more than just sink 2,000g (more or less).

There is 12 different Faction Provisioner Venders across the HoT expansion, they are located very close to Waypoints. These vendors offer some unique Bloodbound Weapons that level up as you’re leveling a character and can be used repeatedly, but these items are not worth the 250 Tokens, and the skins are not unique too these weapons. Each vendor wants a specific craftable rare Weapon or Armor that you use to trade for 1 Provisioner Token. You can also buy these rare armor and weapons from the Trading Post. It can be a small gold sink of T5 materials if you decide too craft. It’s important to remember you can give these vendors a rare once a day so you can obtain 12 Tokens a day if you want, or, you can get them over 300 days if you’re into doing that… You will need a total of 300 Provisioner Tokens to obtain 6 Gifts of Craftsmanship, each one requires 50 Tokens.

• Pros and Cons of Provisioner Tokens.

Pro: This is a great way to feel like you are giving aid to the fight against Mordremoth, after the devastation of the Pact Fleet. Story wise this is an interesting way to feel like you’re helping. Maybe it could have been more than it is currently.

Con: The items these vendors offer could have been better. The Bloodbound items are an interesting idea but should not cost over 100g per weapon a total of 250 rares each. I think 15 Tokens for each weapon and a attribute reset of 5 Tokens would make these weapons more reasonable and wanted for leveling Alt Characters. You will reach a total of 285 Rares needed for the whole set.

Also, these are rare weapons given too an NPC, you’d believe the vendors would have cool Mini’s or Tonic’s, a lot of cool junk items that are fun too collect and it could bring very interesting weapon skins that are unique too the races living in the Heart of Maguuma, maybe silly toy items and one would shoot frogs that give a small bonus too your stats like the Birthday Blaster. Or much more!? These few ideas would bring further interest too these vendors than just needing them too get Gift of Craftsmanship and view all the other items as worthless.

Continuing the long list of Cons . . . I’ve mentioned these 12 vendors take 1 rare item per day, this will reset daily. I do not think it is currently necessary to time gate this vender, a lot of these items have no worth to players because of the gold sink. Gift of Craftsmanship mind as well be the only item . . . or Faction Provisioner’s could accept a Rare item every 2 hours when the map events reset, yet this is still a bad idea. What would be better is a single vendor accepting X amount of Rares a day but after reaching the cap you cannot give any more rares to the 12 different vendors, even if you give the X amount to only 1 vendor.
Overall this is very tedious in my opinion, too have so many different vendors that have no other point than too waste rare items and make players chose a time frame between 25 or 300 days of waiting to get the needed tokens for 6 Gifts of Craftsmanship.

Gift of Prosperity is overall like the other two legendary gifts but it has a massive time gate that shouldn’t be apart of it, I want legendary armor to be more about playing the game and earning the legendary gifts through difficult content.
I can deal with time gated ascended materials, it make sense, so that it doesn’t flood the market and become very cheep. Making ascended armor even more easy to obtain.

Time Gated Vendors is where I’ll have too voice my opinion and say, “That is wrong”.

Thank you for reading. Feel free to post your knowledge.

any new information that we know of? I don’t think ANet has said anything in a while (though I could be wrong).

Wish they gave us more info and/or ETA…

bumping as this thread as a lot of info and starting a new one seems a bit counterproductive.
