Q:
Legendary Armor recipe issue
You get recipes to craft the pre-precursors.
Hopefully they will have some sort or rune extractor because when you spend over 2,000 gold on items and have to do a 1-2 month hard grind for it, you will want to be able to use it on different characters ( and runes will vary and be spendy to change out).
Uh well also if people have to make 3 sets of this armor, they may freak out if they can’t use it on heavy, medium, and light.
Does anyone know anything about this and have any answer?
Those who know aren’t telling; those who tell, aren’t knowing.
We have some information about crafting the legendary, mostly that crafting the collections beforehand won’t lock us in to a particular armor weight — we can make one weight of precursor and still be able to make the other weights.
As to how runes will be handled, we don’t have any direct information. It wouldn’t surprise me if (a) ANet hasn’t decided yet and (b) that is one of the stumbling blocks to releasing the entire process.

On changing runes….you can’t do it with legendary weapons (the sigils) gotta bite the bullet there, or pick traveler runes. just my thought on that.
To fix this all they have to do is to give people who complete the legendary crafting armor achievement and they complete it, a permanent rune extractor and a shared inventory slot. And make the armor adjustable for free to light, med, and heavy =))
The weight one has actually been answered. You will get one weight from the first collection. You will get one weight from a second collection (which doesn’t need to be the same you chose from the first one). You will also receive crafting recipes for all 3 weights for the second tier precursors, so you will be able to craft the two remaining categories (cost is supposedly comparable to ascended armor). You will be able to upgrade any number of second tier precursor pieces (regardless whether you got them from collection, or from crafting) into legendaries using the recipe that’s mentioned on dulfy.
So, if you’d want to have legendary armor at three different weight categories, you’d need to craft the tier 2 precursors for those categories and upgrade them too.
There’s no info about rune swapping, but, based on how it works in legendary weapons, and on past experience, you should consider no news to be bad news.
Remember, remember, 15th of November
Thank you Astralporing for your answer. So how long until we can make legendary armor?
