Maybe people just want to hold on to gifted exotics, because there is absolutely no demand for them on the TP. I’m not going to spend 30g on listing an item when no-one wants it in the first place.
They probably don’t want to be fixing it at the moment, as when the temple is under player control, air elementals (sometimes referred to as sparks) spawn around the place. Sparks can drop charged lodestones. A-net are trying to kill the economy at the moment and bring the rich players down with the rest of the community by getting them to fork out big amounts of money for exotics and legendaries.
By keeping the temple contested, they keep the price of charged lodestones high, because supply remains low. The latest Halloween patch recipes (gift for the shield i think) needs 100 charged lodestones…
Some gifted weapons are soulbound on acquire, some are not. Aether is tradeable.
I am unsure about this. Some current gifted exotics are on the TP such as destroyer and Aether, however there are others that are soulbound when you make them. Maybe ask a Dev?
They require nothing like the amount of mats a legendary costs. All you need is 100charged lodestones, 250 ori ingots, 20 ectos and 500 dungeon tokens to make the one gift that is used.
The other components will probably be and eldrich scroll, 100 or so mystic coins and 250 T6 major weapon components of the corresponding type
I’m pretty sure you wont be able to make the recipes after the event. However, you should still be able to use the recipes and craft the weapons
The gifts are made in the MF, however they are probably cheaper to buy than make because the noobs that made it without realizing it will cost 200g to make will want to get rid of them.
Okay, what Halloween skin can I have for my ranger if I don’t do this expensive one ?
Oh, two swords I will never use. Thanks a lot.
You can use the temp skin (4 hours) like every other non-hardcore player. The people who can afford this recipe have worked very hard and have earned the right to be able to make it.
What you have to bare in mind is that we haven’t made the crafted weapons yet. Therefore we don’t know what they look like. You may think they are permanent versions of the 4 hour weapons.
Lets think about the other weapons which require a similar cost of mats:
Destroyer weps, Foefire, Aether, Mist weaps…
All these weapons have epic animation effects.
Do you really think they are going to make us invest 200+g in order to get a perma version of an event skin?
I don’t think so.
Also I’d like to say; forge crafting weapons is for hardcore players. It provides a long term incentive for those who have everything else. I’m absolutely sick of casual players moaning that they cant get endgame skins easily. Skins are optional visual upgrades and they give you no advantage over other players. They just make you look like a bawws.
If you aren’t prepared to be forking out 200g for a limited edition exotic, then don’t go complaining on the forums. Simple.
I’m pretty sure the recipe posted in here is wrong.
Isnt it:
Eldrich scroll
100mystic coins
Gift corresponding to weapon
250 primary weapon parts
like every other gift based exotic (foefire)
I was wondering, if we learn the recipes for the gifts before the end of the Halloween event, are we able to make the weapons after?
I currently know all 3 recipes:
Gift of souls, Gift of the spiders and Gift of the moon.
I am assuming that the weapons are made similarly to the Aether (I freeking love my Aether) and other gift exotics by:
Eldrich scroll
100 mystic coins
Gift (souls/spider/moon)
250 of primary weapon component
Has anyone crafted any of the weapons already?
Feel free to post your findings or screenshots
