Guild Wars 2

I have been looking all over on Trading Post and Mystic forge recipes and even on GW2 wiki and no one can seem to know the weapon or discover “Lightbringer Tybalt Leftpaw” ’s rifle.

Here’s a picture of it. If anyone knows please tell me, I would like to have something to remember him by.

- Sincerely,
Ratchet the Tinker

Edit: To avoid confusion, I am asking for the PvE version for transmute.

The only way to get that rifle in PvE is to get the pre-legendary rifle The Hunter.

@ Sedrigoth.1978

Wow… what a let down. So I have to get two “The Hunter” s, one for Legendary and one to transmute the Legendary into the “The Hunter” for looks.

Now I wonder before I do all that work, if the special effects from the Legendary “The Predator” will be transferred to “The Hunter” after transmute.

On top of that since Devs said that Legendaries will be updated, stat wise and damage wise, when Ascendant weapons come out; if the Transmuted Legendary will be updated as well.

So many question yet so few answers. I guess I’ll make another thread when the time comes, hopefully by then Devs might shed some light.

Thank you for the info Sedrigoth.1978.

You don’t have to transmutate the legendary. Honestly, the difference in stats is soo minute and the amount of work to get a legendary is so much, that means that if you don’t like the skin of a legendary I would advise you not to get it, but just go for an exotic (like the hunter).

The legendary animations will not transfer over when you transmutate it to another skin. The animations are part of the skin and not the fact that it is saying legendary in the stats.

I’m not sure if the devs are going to update transmutated legendary’s as well. I think they should, but they might forget bout it cause I don’t think many people will transmutate a legendary to get a different skin.

Precisely this. The stats on the legendary are generally the same as the stats on the precursor (or any exotic)- the only reason to make a legendary is for the look, and for bragging rights. If you want details…

Uh… guys or gals, I did not say some of that stuff.

I’ll repost what I said in simple terms.

- Getting two “The Hunters”, one for looks, one for Legendary.
- Transmute “The Predator” (Because its hideous as heck) into “The Hunter” for looks, while keeping “The Predator” legendary stats.

Also you can say that I might lose the special effects when transmuted the looks, however there is no confirmation by anyone with a video or by a Dev, saying I would lose it or not.

Stats from the Legendary will be updated when Ascendant weapons come out, claimed by Developer quote by Arenanet.

Edit: Stats on Legendary will be above Ascendant Weapons, claimed by Quote. The GW2 wiki is wrong.

Did either of you fully read my post before you replied?

I’d assume, based on the way transmuting works with everything else that you would indeed lose the magical glowy effects of the legendary if you transmuted it.

Ahum- This is the players helping players forum. I am very willing and trying to help you. But I am not going into who is a better reader kinda flames.

I said: ‘the difference in stats is soo minute and the amount of work to get a legendary is so much, that means that if you don’t like the skin of a legendary I would advise you not to get it, but just go for an exotic’ in my original post.

Wich is showing I have understood and read what you want. And I have given my opinion on no being worth it. So I am kindly asking to talk to me in a different tone. I am trying to help you. Thanks for your cooperation ;-)

@ mercury ranique.2170

This is like arguing with an immature child.

I will say this one last time, my post you were commenting on was indeed mis-read by you! You still are mis-reading it and you are still… not able to understand what was being said.

A person that responds with a post, Quoting: “Ahum- This is the players helping players forum. I am very willing and trying to help you. But I am not going into who is a better reader kinda flames.”, is a person who is Trolling.

You are not helping anyone and making yourself a fool. You are purposely trying to bump this thread when there is no need to and you are purposely trying to derail the thread. Please stop posting.

Hi everyone,

This thread has gone off topic and the question regarding what skin does Lightbringer Tybal’s rifle is has been answered. Thus, we are closing the thread.
Thanks for your understanding
