Guild Wars 2

Hi there.

“Place four golden fractal relics in the Mystic Forge to receive a gold fractal weapon”. That is the description of the Golden Fractal Relics yet it does not seem to work as it is supposed to (or at least as description says).

Wiki shows recipes for all golden weapons and they use way more golden relics and items. Am I missing something here or is it really a bug (wrong item’s description maybe idk).

Thank you

Seems to be a tool-tip/description error/typo.

Not a bug. The 4 relic recipe gives you a random weapon. If you want a specific weapon, you’ll need to cough up more. See the recipes on the bottom of the page.

Thank you for the reply. I could not find this “4 relics recipe” only the specific ones.

For what it’s worth… the random recipe is “more efficient” the fewer gold fractal skins you already have.

• The specific recipe calls for 100 ecto (~43g at the moment, varying between 39 and 50g the last month or three). Not to mention 10 golden relics and 50 stabilizing matrices (~1g)
• The random recipe only needs 5 ori ingots & 10 crystalline dust (< 1g) and only 4 relics and a negligible amount of stabMats.

So crafting a specific skin is 50 times more expensive (tradeable mats) and requires 2.5x more relics. As a rough rule of thumb, I’m going to use the random recipe until I’m down to about 5-6 skins.
