Guild Wars 2

I need tier 6 mats for a legendary. I have two options, craft rares with all my tier 5 mats and salvage them for ectos to sell which I use to buy tier 6 mats… or use this recipe in the mystic forge – http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Vicious_Fang.

What I want to know is which one is better? The recipe to craft tier 6 mats with tier 5 mats seems REALLY, really bad seeing as how you need to deposit 6 tier 6 mats and 50 tier 5 mats for a chance at 5-12 tier 6 mats…

Depending on the price of ectoplasm you get 20-50s per ectoplasm per 15 T5 mats.

Keeping in mind that level 76+ rares have a good chance of a 0-3 ectoplasm drop.
Remembering the current price is around 21s you get 0-63s for 15 T5 mats.

So the mystic forge recipe seems out of place here. I’d agree with crafting rares from T5 mats or selling T5 mats.

Upgrading is no longer profitable because dust is too expensive. Crafting some rares for ecto will be best.

Thanks. =)

Just a quick reminder for the recipe you only need 1 tier 6 material not 6 tier 6 materials for the chance at 5-12. still i don’t think its really worth it especially since dust is so much.

No… you need 5 piles of crystalline dust and 1 of the tier 6 mat you’re trying to duplicate, and as Rozbuska said, pile of crystalline dust is way too expensive at the moment making this recipe unprofitable.

Ahh yes hammerguard you are right, i thought you were just talking about the tier 6 material you are making. So yeah including the dust and the material you need 6 tier 6 materials to make 5-12.
