So as everyone has noticed the price for legendary weapon components such as dusk and dawn are fast track rising. Most are to expensive to save up for and the Mystic Forge is just a game of luck…some have gotten what they want and others have probably spent more than what they could of just bought it for. This whole concept pressures people into A. Buying gold B. Exploiting. Now obviously no one wants these type of people playing with them as it gives them an unfair advantage. To reduce this effect and complete utter hopeless of ever obtaining a legendary, i have a simple solution. Providing both a short or longer approach whichever you decide to take.
Easier way: Get 1 Gift from every dungeon and transmute the western 4 (Twilight Arbor, Caudecus’s Manor, Arah, Sorrow’s Embrace) in the Mystic Forge to create a Gift of Triumph (for example) and transmute every gift from the 4 eastern dungeons (Crucible of Eternity, Honor of the Waves, Citadel of Flame, Ascalonian Catacombs) into a Gift of Resolve (for example). Then transmute the Gift of Triumph and Gift of Resolve in for a Gift of Mastery (for example). The next step would be to find an exotic compatible with the legendary weapon component. Let’s say storm in this case. So you would put the Gift of Mastery and another 80 exotic scepter into the Mystic Forge which would then produce Storm! You might be thinking “What about dusk and dawn?” simple my dear watson! Make the transmute at day turn into dawn and at night into dusk! This would require a total of 4K Shards making dungeon running a lot more frequent. Now for the more difficult route.
More Difficult Route: Get 4 of the same gifts from the same dungeon and (lets assume i have acquired 4 Gifts of Zhaitan) transmute those 4 Gifts of Zhaitan in the Mystic Forge into Gift of Arah (for example). Then run around to each dungeon doing this with the 4 eastern dungeons (Twilight Arbor, Caudecus’s Manor, Arah, Sorrow’s Embrace) and combine their 2K token gifts together for a Gift of Triumph (for example) then do this method with the 4 western dungeons (Crucible of Eternity, Honor of the Waves, Citadel of Flame, Ascalonian Catacombs) for a Gift of Resolve. Combine the Gift of Triumph and Gift of Resolve together to make a Gift of Mastery (for example) and finally for the fulfill part; put a weapon corresponding to the legendary weapon component in the Mystic Forge with the Gift of Mastery and produce the legendary weapon component! (Dusk if the combine is done at night; dawn if day.)
Eventually we will see a decline in component prices and it will provide a goal to players who have but all given up hope of obtaining a legendary. This obviously means some dungeons will need a fix; for instance Arah and the Giganticus Lupicus resetting in the middle of combat. It will require some work and not just take some luck to get a part of the legendary that currently takes 400+ hours to obtain (if you don"t have lady luck on your side…like most people) or more because we either farm events for it or take a chance at the Mystic Forge 400+ hours to obtain if you don’t have lady luck on your side…like most people; but instead provide a sense of goal and a time that you can set to reach it. The other components take almost 500+ hours to obtain…why should this ONE component take about the same time.
TL;DR: Make Legendary Component Weapons able to be obtained through multiple dungeon gifts, and a corresponding weapon.
