Guild Wars 2

Someone on my server hasn’t gotten any legendary spikes as a drop so I wondered if you can also make a mystic forge recipe for it also as an alternative. Thank you.

Better yet, make the Legendary Spikes not account bound. Some of us got plenty of them and would like to sell!

Got one (or maybe two) so far. Mystic forge recipe would be a good solution, making them tradable would just reward further the blobbers.

I’m confused. I’ve got about 20 so far and I’m only about 1/5th of the way to the backpack. I know “RNG” and all that, but I can’t imagine anyone will get to the point of having all the required Skirmish tickets and not have 1 legendary spike! There is no rush.

They drop alot by guards (NPCs), havent seen any Spike drop from a player yet even though we farm all day long.

They really aren’t rare at all. I’m even wondering what was the point of them.

Legendary spikes? More like Legendary pointless.

well if u dont have 1 yet its very obvious u dont need it anyway since u dont have enough ticket to buy anything that needs it anyway

^^ this ^^

I don’t zerg that much, but I flip a lot of camps, attack towers / keeps alone or in small group. And the legendary spikes come plenty.

normally find 1 – 2 of them a day so either your friend extramly unlucky or they just do not kill stuff very often.

They don’t seem to drop from players. I was trying to figure out why they weren’t dropping for me, and someone suggested killing npcs instead… Got three in about a 3/4 run around desert bl flipping camps and shrines.

Looks pretty pointy to me though. Kappa

Haven’t seen any. I did send bug report and asked anet fix my account.

I assume they’re just a way to give WvW players more income, since that’s always been a big complaint.

These things drop like candy, and 30 silver each time really adds up.

Then sell. It’s a 30s vendor trash, still a decent drop.

Make it a crafting recipe.
250 spikes, maybe with some other wvw-heavy junk. (Such as loot bags, or those resonating slivers everyone has too much of.)
Having it as simply a “rare” drop is a weak implementation of a core ingredient in wvw-related crafting/forging.

After getting my first spike I suddenly started to get them on a regular basis.

I think I have about 30 of these and have already made the gift as well.

You could say after the first your acquisition of them spiked!

They drop from npcs.
They’re not super rare precursor type drops.
You only need one.
I’m sure they will get one in the four months needed for the legendary anyways.
Just keep playing and killing npcs.

I’ve put in about 60 hours in WvW since the backpiece update, and haven’t gotten any. This is starting to smell like the “cursed account” issue.

Lol, only in WvW is 30s vendor trash a decent drop.

I received 1 spike when the update was released, then nothing since then.

It takes 16-17 weeks of diamond chest to get the legendary, I am sure he will find it by then.

I believe they only drop from guards, so if you’re only fighting people and not taking objectives, you won’t get any. Yesterday I have a small stack of about 15 or so from a couple hours of play time.

Ya My GL is the only person in our guild that has yet to get one……

Legendary Spike Weapons….

I’m holding onto mine since ANeT tends to suddenly make something useful again without warning and make them not drop as much at the same time.

TTickets were just as useful as laurels before the wvw update. Plus you can’t earn them ever since 2014. It’s not the same as Legendary Pointless.

That was my point, years of no indication that they would ever be useful again… and now they’re useful.

I wouldn’t have wasted them on obi shards if there was some kind of sign I might need them

Vendorstrike!

Dat 30s per.

Super Adventure Box continue Coins/baubles/bauble bubbles and leather(so much is now needed but they created ways to trade in thousands to vendors to get shiny back pieces and other things). Sure leather drops, but not very well for certain types, plus they upped how much it takes of the base leather(like thick leather) to make a processed one. If you traded in all that excess leather thinking it was useless back then, now you are probably kicking yourself. That’s why many of my guildies horde so many items and materials. ANeT seems to always come out with something to use them on later – after most people have destroyed them or bulk traded them.

i have over 200 legendary spikes… you are not playing right. Try contesting v players and NPCs, i get 1-2 each contest.
