Q:

Question 1: Does throwing in mixed exotics (IE 1xShield, 1xWarhorn, 1xGreatsword, 1xSword) have an effect on the possibility/probability of a Precursor?

*I understand it randomizes what you get rather than throwing in 4 of the same weapon. But will it reduce the chance of getting one. I ask this because of the way people are saying if you throw in say, 4 Greatswords, you get a GS from one of the available ones. But because there is a greater pool of weapons when its “random”, would it effect drop rate?

Question 2: Does it make a difference to drop rate if the weapons I put in the forge has a sigil or not?

I don’t think either of those things makes a difference. I got one precursor from the forge from throwing 4 random level 80 rares in there, including 3 weapons and 1 piece of armor. I think they all had crappy sigils/runes because I either looted them in game or bought the cheapest ones off the TP. I think if you’re lucky, you’re lucky. The rate is so abysmally low that none of that other stuff means anything.

You can’t combine weapons and armor in the forge. A Mystic Stone at best.

Using 4 of one weapon type does increase the chances of getting a particular Pre but the rates are so low that the drop rates are nearly identical. Sigils have nothing to do with weapon forging.

Rare level items you can combine everything, jewellery/weapons/armour and get every possible thing back. Problem is you are as likely to get an exotic armour or trinket as a weapon. The chance of precursor is then slightly less than the impossible it is with just weapons.

I have pulled 2 precursors (The Legend and Leaf of Kudzu) from the MF using 3 random exotics and 1 MF stone both times.

Sigils have nothing to do with increasing or decreasing your odds

My bad. I’ve always just salvaged them or sold immediately and didn’t think it worked from experience of only trying with exotics. GZ on the hecka lucky gamble then. Those odds are astronomically low considering the amount of rares or exotics you could possibly recieve.

Ya, I know right? I’ve never gotten that lucky again, unfortunately. But hey, it happened once so I’m very thankful. I’ve never used the forge with exotics. Too rich for me! I had talked to another player a long time ago that also got a precursor with random rares of weapons and armor so I thought I’d give it a shot.

Your both wrong :p You used to be able to use armor items with a chance to get a precursor. But that was changed.

I’m correct because it has happened to me within the last month. Level 80 rares, 3 weapons, 1 armor. Please do not call me a liar. It’s my only precursor and I know exactly how I got it, thank you.

From the wiki on precurors:

The Mystic Forge is a primary source for precursor weapons due to the refinement that allows players to mix together equipment for a chance at better quality equipment. Players have a chance to receive a precursor weapon when combining four rare or exotic pieces of equipment with an average level of 75 or higher. One or more of these items must be a weapon, with four weapons of the same weapon type guarantee receiving a weapon with that weapon type. For example, players can combine one level 60 rare weapon and three level 80 weapons or three level 75 pieces of armor and a level 75 weapon.
