So the precursor crafting. Is it going to be a one time deal, because on the HoT page it says “or building new collections that earn precursors”. I wonder is it going to be a reward from a collection that you could finish only once, or is it going to be something repeatable.
What do you guys think/hope?

one collection for each pre per account. Confirmed in an interview.

Per the mmorpg.com interview:
“All collections are account-based, so there’s one collection per precursor per account”

This said I think that the precursors you get from the collections will be account bound or the money grind will be way too easy. Also if it is account bound, why would you want to do it twice? As you get the skin of the legendary anyways you won’t need another precursor for the same legendary.

Oh thanks, I didn’t know it’s a collection per precursor. I asked because of dual wield, some people like to craft the same legendary twice purely for utility.

I think that those precursors will be obtainable as drops from certain events / loot in the jungle but with a very low chance. So they still can be bought on the TP. So you get to choose to grind a collection or to grind monehhyyss…

You could always make 1 of the older legendaries of the same weapon type and the new one of the same weapon type, then switch skin.

That is true, I forget that there will be new ones.
