Guild Wars 2

Should I buy all of the Legendary Vol 1 collections just to unlock them so that if I randomly stumble upon something needed for them to add it to the collection?

For example Bolt Vol 1 has a part that says "Looted from the chest after defeating the Legendary Archdiviner in the Cliffside Fractal. "

Can I loot that even if I don’t have the collection unlocked?

nope, as far as I know you dont even have access to the collection items until you complete the prerequisite grind.

and even once you do some of the event driven merchants are bugged and wont sell after completing the event so your screwed there too =(

So you are telling me that I should actually buy all the legendary weapon vol 1 recipes? Cause I don’t plan to pursue any of those so soon, but I do plan to play the game normally, do other stuff and if I accidentally do something that a collection needs the better.

you can’t buy the collections until you have the mastery for that collection.
but that wans’t your question, if you wnat to collect the items required for that legendary then yes, if not then no.

I have the mastery. Bought Kraitkin Vol 1 and Incenerator Vol 1 for now just to see what it requires. And when I saw that there are stuff like look from this NPC, or loot from iron mining node or stuff like that I got confused if I would get that item from the NPC even if I didn’t have that collection unlocked. Guess I’ll buy them all now (Vol 1) and if I come across something randomly in the world it would be far more exciting
