Do the clovers first, since you need them anyways and should get some t6 from “failed” attempts.
Yeah, I’ve done the clovers already and got a few T6 from it (lots of leather, sadly).
I would really, really love 100 Vials of Powerful Blood, and 50 Armored scales.
I’ve been trying to build my legendary for the longest time, and the Gift of Fortune made me hit a wall. I can probably afford most of the other T6 mats, but if I had those Vials and scales it would be so helpful.
Thank you to any kind soul who’s willing to help!
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, I do have HoT. I haven’t bound my precursor yet, does it take long to get one for free?
I took a break from the game for a while, and the last time I was playing I was trying to build my first legendary (the Bifrost). I got my precursor and a few of the gifts, but much like last time I’m having trouble with the Gift of Fortune.
I’ve looked around online for advice on the best way to get T6 mats, but most of the info is outdated. Do any of you guys know what the best way to get them is? From what I can tell it’s still unreliable to farm them.
Also, what’s the best way to farm gold since dungeon gold was nerfed (I used to farm it almost exclusively from dungeon speed runs).
If you are farming world bosses you should be swimming in ectos. Most rares should be salvaged. Greatswords, swords, hammers and staves should be either sold or thrown into the mystic forge in sets of four of the same type. Salvaging ectos for t6 dust is not cost effective in terms of gold, but if your MF is hovering at 100 or less consider doing it for the luck. If you are going to salvage ectos do it early because that way you have the magic find working for you for longer.
Consider some of the event chains in cursed shore. For some of these you get a phenomenal number of bags dropping.
For lower level dungeons use your tokens to salvage exotics for inscriptions or insignia that can’t be crafted (magi, soldiers etc.). For higher level dungeon tokens (CoF up) buy rares with your tokens and salvage them for ectos.
Thank you for the advice. So far I’ve been doing okay for Ectos (and any rares I get that are worth more than an Ecto I’ve been putting on the TP). Sadly, my salvaging luck has been horrible recently, even when using Black Lion salvaging kits I’m regularly getting nothing. I’ve hit a stack of 250 already and I’m trying to get more to finish off my clovers. Once I get all my clovers, I think I’ll start to salvage Ectos then to get the dust.
Buying rares from dungeons vendors could be worthwhile for the Ectos I’ll need for dust, so far I’ve been saving up enough to get 4 exotic weapons to throw them in the forge and selling the resulting weapon (maybe even getting a precursor in the process, but sadly, I, and a friend of mine who’s been doing the same have ended up with level 75 weapons out of this process).
As for the cursed shore farming, I’ve been doing that too when I can. I don’t always have the best of luck with bag drops, but it’s probably the best I can do when it comes to acquiring T6 mats without grinding one small region.
Thank you for the advice, though. It’s nice to see that some people are willing to offer something constructive on here.
1. If crafting Bifrost was your only reason for playing, you should have quit a long time ago.
2. Crafting a Legendary should be a long term goal, not a short term, and if you treat it that way, those “unreasonable” barriers would be viewed as milestones in the journey.
3. Would you like some cheese with your whine?
4. Can I have your stuff?Well, as… constructive as your advice is, I’m going to have to pass. People have their reasons for playing, making the legendary was mine, and you’re not one to say why I should be playing. No one is. As for it being a long term goal, you have no idea how long I’ve been making it, so you can’t pass judgement on whether I’ve been trying long enough (FYI over a year, long enough for you?).
SNIP
Why I’m playing the game isn’t what’s being debated, here.
Actually, yes I do have an idea of how long you’ve been trying to make it. I’ve been trying to make a particular Legendary myself since release. So, yes, I can tell you how I look at it and tell you how it would make things easier on yourself if you did the same.
Also, you put up the reason for quiting or playing on the chopping block, not us. If you didn’t want it discussed, you should have left it off the topic. /shrug.
More cheese?
Are you going to offer any advice, or are you just going to have a go at me for how I play? What my objectives are in the game aren’t your concern. If I want to quit when I’ve made it, then that’s up to me. I don’t care what people think if I finish then, I want to accomplish something in it, then leave. Haven’t you ever heard of people who pique when working somewhere and decide to move on to another job to accomplish other things? That’s just how it is. I mentioned the possibility of finishing playing, but that’s not the subject, it’s pertinent to how the impracticality of the process has driven myself (and I’m sure, many others) to the point of giving up, because they don’t gleam any enjoyment from the game anymore.
And if you haven’t made a legendary yet, then you’re not doing something right, and you’re not necessarily an authority on the process, and resorting to childish remarks like you’re doing, isn’t particularly constructive. Frankly, I don’t even know why you’re posting other than to mock someone for their honest opinion.
That’s not what I said. I said a particular Legendary. In fact, one that requires TWO Legendaries. Anyways, my “childish” remarks are about as constructive as the OP, thus the reasoning behind my cheese comments. I saw nothing but whining in the OP. I see no ideas on how to change the process in your wall of text. I see no suggestions at all. So tell me, what’s so constructive about your OP? To me, it sounds like a threatening rant about not getting what you want and that you’ll go off and quit because you can’t get it. Did you stamp your foot down too while you wrote all of that out? …..Now, what was childish again?
I’m not bothering with you anymore. You have nothing constructive to say, you’re just criticising me and my opinion needlessly. If it makes you feel better about yourself, fine, either way, you needn’t post anything else, you literally have nothing to offer that’s good.

Preach it Brother! I’m in your boat and fed up to my eyeballs trying to get the T6 mats. I am sooooo….. close, but it’s still going to be at least a month of farming for mats, karma training in EoTM and generally trying to breath in, and breath out when I get a little angry about this situation.
Anet doesn’t make grindy games. Yeah, right.
All I know is that once I have enough to purchase the precursor (which inevitably I’ll have to do) I’ll have to save up a whole bunch more.
Oh, and in regards to the other poster saying I don’t spend my time efficiently, I farm all the world champs and speed run all the paths in four dungeons daily. I think that’s plenty efficient. Frankly, it sounds like you got lucky.
Also, as opposed to criticising how I’m playing without knowing what I do, why not offer advice instead?
I would step back and take a look at how you play. I work, play for about 2-4 hours a night except on my days off (about 5-7 hours total for that day) and managed to get 4 legendaries (5 if i didnt want to get some foefire weapons). I dont farm much, I dont run dungeons everyday (last time I was in a dungeon was 8 days ago) yet I managed to get 4 in 1 year while you can’t even get 1? Learn to play efficient, learn to know what sells, heck, learn that you can get Crystalline Dust from Salvaging Ectos, one of the easiest T6 mat to get.
I DONT know your play hours/time but apparently you’re not being efficient enough to afford it. Kai is right though, if you have been playing this long to just make 1 legendary, what will you do AFTER to make it? Most quit because they cant find another goal to work towards. If you are having problems with 1 legendary, once you make it, you are out of goals because you wouldnt want to make another if you had to go through this again.
Well, asides from the T6 dust, what would you recommend to maximize efficiency? And if I’m done with the game shortly after I finish my Legendary (although I want to work towards Ascended armor, probably) then that’s my prerogative. Why I’m playing the game isn’t what’s being debated, here.

I am honestly reaching the end of my tether. I’ve been trying to craft The Bifrost for the longest time now, and I’m nearly at the point where I just want to give up.
Where are things going so wrong? Well, there’s a few problems:
1. The precursor. The Legend is for some reason the most expensive precursor on the TP right now, and that doesn’t seem to be changing. Even the buy orders are 100g shy of the highest seller. Last I checked the highest seller is around 1100g, and that price hasn’t gone below 1000g over the past couple of months. It’s getting absurd. And as for forging it, forget about it. Terrible luck from rares, and from exotics (also, throwing 4 level 80 exotics into the forge shouldn’t produce a level 75 exotic, it’s not fair at all).
2. T6 materials. Asides from spending all my laurels on heavy crafting bags, spending festival tokens and Mystic Clover forging (thanks for all that wonderful leather, by the way, I nearly got a silver by selling those -sarcasm-), there is no solid way to get them other than the TP, where – unsurprisingly – the prices are ridiculous. Powerful blood is now over 50s each, and that’s just for one material of the 8 needed. If you buy the T6 mats, the cost for all will more than likely exceed the cost of the precursor.
Now you may think “why don’t you just promote T5 materials into T6 with the Mystic Toilet?” I would, in any other circumstances, but with the Bifrost, I need a whole 500 Crystalline Dust, ANOTHER material which has a terrible drop rate, so until I get those, I can’t consider using 5 of them at a time. Any other Legendary, this isn’t a big problem, but with the Bifrost, it is.
The quest for my legendary has hit a wall, and it was the only thing keeping me playing. I know many others will have been in the same position, and felt the same way, and as easy it is to say I can buy all these mats on the TP, it isn’t easy to do. Heck, if I had the precursor or had any means to get it other than luck, I could happily blow all my cash on the TP to get materials, but wouldn’t it be more fair to make materials more obtainable, rather than having this ridiculously low drop rate? I even thought that with the festival coming back, there may be a chance to get easy T6 mats again, but since it’s 300 tokens for one bag, that means I’d have to spend hours doing the same two events seven times in order to get three materials. Correct me if I’m wrong, but that’s boring.
That’s how I feel about Legendary crafting, and frankly, I’m about done with the game. It was the only thing keeping me playing, and due to the unreasonable barriers, I feel it may be why I stop.
