Guild Wars 2

I have a different opinion. With 200g you can buy/craft a CRAPton of 80 rares and throw them in the Forge. With the exotic return being around 20-25%, you can recoup much of the losses and continue the hunt. I think in the long run, the MF is the way to go. I know this from personal experience. I think I lost around 10g per batch of 100 lvl 80 rare crafted weapons. If you do the math, with precursers costing 500g+ (for the demanded ones), you’d need to be very UNLUCKY to not get one. Think about how many combines you could do with 500g…

I just posted a new thread about a theory/coincidence that happened with me. RNG may be RNG, or I might of stumbled upon something. either way, I have my precurser and have never had over 300g to my name…

Just my 2c…

So, today I got Spark from the MF. I’ve thrown hundreds if not thousands (definately thousands) of lvl 80 crafted rare weapons into the Mystic Toilet. I averaged about 1 exotic per 4 combines (which I feel slightly lucky about…). I’ve never gone more than 7-8 combines without an exotic. I’ve NEVER had a serious cold streak until today. Today I had a SERIOUS cold streak… one that made me consider never using the MF again. I went around 0-20 (might have been 18, might have been 22) on combines without a exotic. The next exotic I pulled out of the forge was Spark. I find that weird.

My question is… has anyone else gone very long Mystic Forgin’ without an exotic and then gotten their precurser? Or is RNG just RNG and I just happened to get Spark after the longest period of not getting an exotic combine in my personal experience?

I thought it was worth a discussion….
