Is it easier to buy of craft ?
I haven’t looked into it but it wouldn’t surprise me at all.
You can’t craft anything else in the game for less than the material cost so why should legendaries be any different?
News to me that anyone offers them for sale – bit of a surprise considering they must lose money. In fact, I have a hard time believing that people actually craft anything in this game beyond what they need to level. It all smells very fishy to me.
Tallying up the costs of everything you can buy to make a legendary (precursor and all gifts save Mastery)… crafting Twilight, if you bought all the materials but made Gift of Mastery yourself, would cost approximately 1404.64g. Twilight is currently being sold for 1777.77g. In other words, if you buy the legendary directly, you’re paying a markup of ~374g.
Just throwing that out there in case anyone finds it interesting. I will say that the crafting price varies depending on your luck with clovers, the market, and how many mats you have saved up/get dropped. Also, I did that calculation on paper (no calculator) and with plenty of rounding, so it may be off here or there.

from what I’ve heard, you could farm Queens Gauntlet and make the money fairly quickly. You’re certainly going to pay a premium to buy one, but obtaining the Precursor is the major obstacle to “crafting” a Legendary anyway (you should look into the prices of the required Precursor before deciding this).

I looked on the trading post today and Twilght is actually going for 1525. Eternity is going for 1740. I’m not sure if these prices change or not but as of right now those are the prices listed on the main screen. When I pulled up legendary weapons through the search options, the price you listed came up. Confusing.
Edit: Maybe someone bided 1525 and that was listed on the main screen.

The 1525g is the buy order. Someone’s basically saying they’re willing to buy Twilight for 1525g, but there’s no guarantee if anyone will bite. The ~1700 price refers to the selling price- if you were to buy Twilight immediately, that would be the price you would have to pay.

Ah Okay, that makes sense. Thanks for replies and information.

The “Top Value Items” column is always for buy orders.
https://bravevesperia.com/extra/weaponcalculator.php can show you the cost of the various parts of a legendary. The actual price can be significantly cheaper since you can use buy orders to get some things for less. For things like lodestones it is generally cheaper to get cores and convert to lodestones.
It’s always going to be cheaper to craft it your self even if you are just buy the raw ingredients and putting them together. It cost around 1400g to make Twilight. It needs to be sold for around 1650g just to break even due to the listing fee and taxes.

Crafting seems to be the way to go then. Are there any sites that tell you what you need and where to go to get what you need for Twilight ? It would be nice to be able to print out the ingredients needed.
