Guild Wars 2

Bump for great justice!

KAKAAAARRRROT!!!!

Here’s my main in her mix ‘n’ match armour.

Here’s your reward for exceptional RNG.

You want practical eh?
I’d say these characters have pretty practical armour.
The first one’s a dagger/dagger necromancer so it needs to get in close, therefore heavy-looking light armour felt appropriate. Besides, the helmet acts as a gas mask to keep safe from the smelly Charr.

The second character’s a Charr guardian. He’s made to take damage, so looking like a tower helps with that. As for the helmet… well that’s for intimidation. No one’s gonna mess with the Carebear Tower :P.

The third one’s a ranger in karma gear, as that armour looks just like something a ranger would wear. As for the gloves, it keeps her hands from getting cold xD.

The fourth is a Sylvari elementalist. Sylvari have quite a classy accent so I chose classy clothing. I guess that’s practical.

I’m close to getting Twilight now. I have everything except the precursor, and I know I’m far from being the only one. I’ve spent around 100g on the Mystic Forge with no luck, however RNG hates me in all loot based games so I’m calling it quits there before I commit suicide and will just buy Dusk from the TP instead. I’ve attained just over 70G at the moment so I’m roughly 1/10th of the way to being able to afford Dusk. I have also played for over 1,200 hours now with no precursor drop yet. I’m not sure if that’s the norm but I’m feeling incredibly unlucky

The lesson I’ll take away from this is to start with the precursor first. Everything else is a doddle in comparison, you had also better not think “Oh well Anet will add a scavenger hunt in the future” as from what I’ve read all this scavenger hunt seems to be is an idea at the moment…

A little advice: You’ll also be best off having some alts to run the EB JP for the badges of honour, pretty easy and it’s fun to do in those “I’m bored” moments. I left the badges quite late on and spammed the JP which was annoying to say the least. I’d also consider getting the gift of mastery first or at least get those first 250 obsidian shards out of the way. This meant when I was making the mystic clovers I just gave them another attempt whenever I got enough karma for a few obsidian shards rather than finally get 77 clovers and have 250 more obsidian shards to go on top of everything else.
The most annoying part for me was getting the T6 materials. I had poor luck with the clovers which returned me a load of leather sections and other cheap useless materials so I pretty much had a whole stack of all materials to get, I was too lazy to farm the individual materials, even with magic find as my average rate was about 1 T6 material every 10 minutes. So I just spent a lot of money buying stacks. Focusing on the cheaper materials and moving my way up to the more expensive materials. This personally took me forever and was by far the most annoying part of this “legendary journey”. The other big part was the onyx lodestones, luckily I managed to just buy the cores and turn them into lodestones, costing me a mere 80G so they weren’t as big an issue as I thought they would be.

But other than that yeah… Dusk.
Dusk Dusk Dusk Dusk kitten kitten Dusk… Kill me now pl0x. :’(

That’s my legendary progress summed up… Dusk…
I’ll get back to you guys once I’ve saved up another 600G. Oh by the way, as soon as I had gotten everything other than my precursor people in my guild are suddenly getting precursors as drops or early Mystic Forge rewards. I must be a lucky charm!!! Though that helps me not at all. To add salt to my wound, a friend got Dusk as a WvW drop and asked me for money to help him sell it >.> 600G was too much money to turn a blind eye to and help a friend out I also wish I got outside help with my legendary like a lot of people I know did (By outside I mean with friends and guildies). When I ask for help I just get a “Go do it yourself noob” which reminds me of GW1 when I joined towards the end of it’s life and when I asked for a party people just replied “You have heroes, go and solo everything noob” FML.

I’m ranting far too much now, but I need to express my anger somehow, but still Anet, great game! Just decrease the amount of RNG please

Thank you.
