Guild Wars 2

It’s one of the best looking backitems ingame and well with in keeping with the HoT style. Please expand on this upgradable item allowing us to continue to grow and cultivate our mega VINE Improving the visuals and making it more on par with the FRACTALS LEGENDARY BACKPACK

post and comment gw2’ers that’s make this happen!

make the new legendary backpack from fractals, transmute mawdrey to it.

Problem solved.

I edited post I actualy ment give us more LEDGENDARY visuals to improve and upgrade MAWDREY and make it grow more vines or more over the top visuals!

I’d just like them to fix Mawdrey so it animates like it apparently used to.

I rather like the idea of adding one more upgrade to Mawdrey into a Legendary backpiece. Mawdrey’s creation already is effectively a precursor crafting, so adding a bit more on to make it a legendary back piece could be awesome.

That said, keep in mind that there are only two differences between Mawdrey and a legendary back piece anyway: some stats combos re not options, and after you pick, you can’t change.

A legendary backpiece needs to stand out also! For legendary Mawdrey, my idea is to have the tendrils thrash and aura expand as a character fights.

There would be a resting animation(weapons stowed), base combat animation(weapons drawn), and active combat animation(starting at first strike, ending with enemy or player death).

Like the other legendary backpiece, making this would probably be locked behind HoT and masteries, so specialization a could play a role. Such as overtuning an element makes Legendary Mawdrey’s aura expand to surround the player. The same would apply to a warrior with full adrenaline, necro with life force, Mesmer with illusions, Thief with initiative(spent initiative, since it’s used in combat), Ranger with ready-to-activate celestial avatar form, and Revenant’s channeling energy.

The only two I can’t think of a way to change base/combat animations are Guardian/Dragonhunter and Engineer/Scrapper. They don’t have upkeep bars for anything, so please add to my idea if you can think of anything

I tihnk its a bad idea in general to make an already existing item in game a precursor for a legendary item.

In general, yes, but Mawdrey is a special case. One, it already takes tons of work to get and, in fact, was a test for the precursor crafting we got. Two, it’s already account bound. There is no Mawdrey market and never will be.

The main thing I could see it skyrocketing price for? Foxfire clusters. Since Mawdrey is the only use for those I am aware of.
