Guild Wars 2

Hey guys. returning player here. so, i’ll just get right now to the beef. Why are most tier 5 mats 30-10 copper a piece now? Did they make precursors soulbound if crafted or forged from the mystic?

Hey guys. Just wanted to make a quick post for you all. I’ve been following all the advice you gave me and it’s honestly made the game feel a lot more enjoyable. I took the hint you all left me, and decided for the precursor to come to me. so with that in mind, i started building ascended armor for my class. on top of this, i’ve been keeping up with fractals and dungeons, world boss train, and any other time i can put into the game, i grab myself a few flower seeds from the Vine wrath in SW. This method has seemed to work best for me, for I’m literally earning gold in every way possible, without any loss. On top of this, I tried out one of the guys advices earlier (sorry for no proper credit) where any tier 5 materials i get, i put in the mystic toilet for a chance at exotics, to sell for more gold. This afternoon I converted my tier 5 materials into some rare greatswords to make a few bucks for my ascended shoulders.
I really want to thank everyone for all the advice. It’s been outstanding the number of people who lent me a helping hand. I highly suggest this thread to anyone who’s on the same road to learning how to make/buy a precursor. I owe you guys a lot. with this said, I’ll leave the bottom picture to close out my post.

Wow, a lot of reply’s! Adding onto my list of methods, got a nice solid plan going on now. I want to say thank you again for all of the posts. I never knew about half of these paths people take to acquire their pres so I really do appreciate you guys sharing me your “secrets”. Thank you guys again, this has been awesome. Any new methods or story’s are always welcomed!

Hey guys, thanks a bunch for the reply’s. It’s really helped me out and judging from the votes it seems that I have been doing just about everything wrong. I guess it really didn’t help how i was going for Dusk, the most expensive one lol. Still, i’ll strive to achieve this for it’s my favorite. Thanks again guys for the honest reply’s. I’ll be trying out a few of the methods you guys have given me when i build up the motivation to try again!

Hi, my name is Hope. So, i’ll start this off by saying my question is for the more experienced players who have actually obtained a precursor or 2. I’ve been with anet since i was 10 years old, guild wars factions being my first ever RPG being a kid. Guild wars 2 being released, you can bet i was on it, and i’ve stuck with it, going on and off. With the background story down, i’ll finally get to the point of this post.

How do you get a precursor?
I bought a bunch of lvl 80 rares and tried mystic forging that.
I bought around 100 exotic for 300g and tried the mystic forge.
started playing a lot of fractals (102 missions done)
played months of WvW at one point.

All of these methods are what i have done over the course of 2 and a half years, but i haven’t had any luck receiving it. I feel that it shouldn’t be this hard getting a precursor. Guild mates are posting their collections, so I’m honestly left to believe that I’m doing something wrong, and they’re doing everything right. So, how do you guys get precursors? Tell some stories of your own on how you got yours, or the best way to get a precursor to date. I would love to hear everyone’s opinion or story.

gotcha. thanks for the fast reply guys. i’ll keep this post up just incase someone can send a sign of hope.

Hey guys. I hope this is the right place to post this question, only one way to find out though.

so, as the title gives a hint of what im talking about, does anyone know how to get the stalwart shoulder pads? I’m aware that this used to be obtainable during the old pvp Glory System, but i haven’t heard anything about this being obtainable in the new PVP patch (reward track/wardrobe patch). i have every piece, but i dont have the shoulder pads and unfortunately they are the best piece of the set in my opinion, and really wish to get them some how. anyone know?

P.S. i’ve completed 3 reward tracks and no stalwart shoulderpads.

Thanks guys.

Im not sure if this is where i post this, after updating to the new patch, i’ve been unable to purchase Gems. if i use a credit card, the final screen says “invalid” on the top, and if i try to purchase on paypal, it doesn’t bring up the website, it just goes to the next screen with the “done” button at the bottom. Im well aware of my current accounts balance, and i should be able to purchase these gems. is there a current error going on with gem purchases? or is there something i haven’t done to fix this?
