Guild Wars 2

hey all, just a few questions and advice.
Are dungeons still a good way to make gold and which dungeons are better at making it?

Also do dungeon exotic weapons (the ones you buy with tokens) give you a chance to get a precursor in the mystic forge or because there token weapons the chance is smaller?

Would you say doing dungeons be best option to get a precursor because you be earning gold as well as tokens for exotics (which you can mystic forge into a precursor if lucky enough) or should doing silverwaste events and chest farm be a better option and just save up from that?

I’m not in a rush but id want a precursor before the expansion is released , just cause most my time will be concentrated on the new content haha

There will be new content related to precursors due to the collections that will give one precursor per weapon type per account. I’d wait for that to come out and influence prices if you aren’t willing to do the stuff to complete the collections.

To answer your questions:

Dungeons are still a very good way to get gold. Every explorable path gives you at least 1g upon completion (once per day), but some give more. AC paths give you 1.5g per path. The Aetherpath of TA gives you 2g. Paths 1, 2, and 4 of Arah give you 3g. So, really, you could do any dungeons you want. The fastest ones tend to be AC 1 and 3, CM 3, SE 1 and 3, and COF 1. However, you could add some of the “longer” easy ones (they’re not really much longer) such as CM 1, all paths of COE (these paths give you chances at charged cores/lodestones, too), COF 2, the two Nightmare Court paths of TA, and HOTW 1. It’s just really what you feel like doing.

Yes, dungeon exotics can be forged to make precursors. I’ve gotten one from dungeon exotics before. But I believe that forging rare greatswords tends to be the most cost efficient way of getting a precursor. So, it’s up to you whether you’d want to forge rares or exotics.

Both dungeons and Silverwastes are great money, and you get champ bags from both. So, it’s just up to which one you want to farm.

As Seera said, precursors will be given for completing certain collections in the upcoming expansion. So, if you plan to get the expansion, it might be a good idea to wait until it comes out to worry about a precursor.
