Guild Wars 2

Step Six: Your 2 400 Crafts.

You will need to level 4 specific crafts to 400 to make the 2 gifts found in your "Gift of … (i.e. “Gift of THE Bifrost”) Below is a list of what 2 crafts you will need to level to 400 for your legendary (for example the Bifrost’s “Gift of Color” requires 400 cooking and the “Gift of Energy” requires 400 Artificer)

After levelling your crafts to 400, buy the 2 recipes you need for the two gifts from Miyani by the mystic forge in lions arch. Click here then find your legendary weapon and click on the Gift of … (i.e. Gift of the Bifrost) gift, that’s below the exotic Precursor and buy the recipe for the 2 gifts within that gift (i.e. The Gift of the Bifrost ones is Gift of Color and Gift of Energy)

Step Five: The Lucky Clovers

Most people leave this to last but I highly recommend getting this done first. Failed attempts at clovers result in tier 6 materials most of which you will need. I recommend buying and crafting them in 15 bulks to save you over buying on materials, per attempt you will need:

1 Glob of Ectoplasm
1 Mystic Coin
1 Obsidian Shard
6 Philosopher Stones

Making them by 1’s instead of 10’s will result in a better average so I recommend doing 1’s. Continue this buying more bloodstone shards from Temple of Balthazar if needed and craft your 77 Lucky Clovers.

Step Four: 1.1 Million Karma

Yes this will be a pain in the butt but its best to do it first whilst banking all the drops you get. You need 525k karma for the 250 Obsidian Shards you need and an average (following the estimate of 30% per lucky clover) of 256 Obsidian Shards to gamble.

I highly recommend cursed shore Plinx event farming for this as with a decent MF set you can farm 2-3 gold hourly whilst earning anything between 15k to 32k karma. After the Champion Risen Abomination dies start a timer head back to Plinx 1, log out and log back in exactly 9 mins later. This will maximize the karma booster and not waste mins running around looking for events whilst Plinx respawns and will also reset the diminishing returns you hit when doing events over and over keeping you at the full +378 karma unboosted all day.

You can now buy 250 Obsidian Shards from the Temple of Balthazar when he is uncontested and a further 200 minimum for now, coming back to it should you need more for lucky clovers. You can also craft your Gift of Mastery by placing your 1 Bloodstone Shard, 250 Obsidian Shard, 1 Gift of Exploration and 1 Gift of Battle in the mystic forge.

Step Three: Your instance materials

Each legendary requires 500 instance mats, for example the Bifrost takes 500 Shards of Zhaitan from Arah dungeon explorerable mode. Check below to see what instance you need to run for your legendary.

Get your 500 materials whilst banking all drops and buy your Gift of (instance) by the required NPC in lions arch by the portals to WvW (whole bunch of merchants next to each other)

Step Two: Gift of Battle

Fairly easy to do, is bought from the NPC in WvW for 500 badges of honour. Easiest way of getting these is completing the four jumping puzzles in each borderland and following a zerg around.

Buy your Gift of Battle.

So I’ve just finished my legendary Bifrost staff and have been speaking to alot of people who are aiming for there legendary and need help and information, so I thought I would write out a simple step by step guide on the most effective and efficient way to get your legendary.

Now the total cost for mine not including the exotic weapon needed came to around 300 gold climbing to a potential 600 if you buy the Precursors

As an example i will be referencing alternating materials to The Bifrost and the Gift of the Bifrost Be sure to use your legendary version!

Note: I will be updating the guide alot and will simplify this as i go!

Step One: World Completion

This should be the very first thing you do. Bank everything you get from drops, events and so forth.

You will receive your Gift of Exploration from this and will have enough skill points to buy your Bloodstone Shard from Miyani by the mystic forge in lions arch.

164 rare level 80 staffs (41 attempts) got me 9 exotic weapons and 1 ‘The Legend’

Persepolis.6295:

I’m done farming karma and finished everything.. I can’t even transfer from Crystal Desert. So close to crafting Twilight. I hope there is a server reset tonight.

Haha were in the same boat. After i got lucky this morning with the mystic forge i ended up only needing to swap my remaining karma for the last of the Obsidian Shards i need to craft the legendary however it seems to be bugged on Sanctum of Rall.

I would transfer off but SoR is full in population and i think free transfers will end come Halloween update.

“There hacking again…”

Sanctum of Rall

7 or 8 underwater bots in the SoR borderlands south of garrison by kraits if anyone from the other servers wants free kills.

By the looks of it they have a script to come back to the spot too, so free kills over and over and over!

This is the build i use/ used whilst farming Plinx chain in cursed shore that i made in this video:

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fQAQJAWWjEaV6ZaGb07JCZGP7aQPevucW8hgB;TIALCGEA

• Armour is full level 80 rare (yellow) Magic Find, 5 runes of the pirate, 1 rune of the traveler.
• Jewelery is the level 80 masterwork (green) Magic Find, with the 3% mf gems replaced with 4%
• I use a Magic Find staff with a luck sigil to stack up to 25 stacks of luck before switching to my exotic staff for damage.
• Using Omnombery Bars for food

Total Magic Find is 161%

On average i was farming 2 to 3 gold & 20k karma per hour

SoR by far doesn’t win by numbers or at least it didn’t the night we overtook Yaks. This is a picture i took just before Yaks Bend made an attack on our keep in Yaks Bend borderlands. We had nothing except this keep & the orb.

By the end of it we had the keep orb and the entire Yaks bend borderland.

Not bad past 24 hours for SoR, 60k points.

It was never really around in the closed beta periods because there wasnt as many people playing as they are now.

Quite simply the problem of invisible enemies is the fact the server limits the amount of characters it renders at any one time to save some PCs from exploding.

This is good for the 60% who have them mid spec’d gaming computers but a nightmare for us with the high end computers who get mad, until they modify the game client so rendering isn’t such an issue and increase the cap on the amount of characters it can render at any one time there’s nothing we can do about it.

Northern Shiverpeaks Server Theme Song.

I’ve always suggested that a point scoring system that’s relative to the amount of people in WvW would be the best all round approach. As seen in this thread i had i suggested a system that scales point vales of objectives on the map according to how many people are in WvW.

• Point Value to Population %: At the moment all point values of objects on the map are fixed, this means during off peak hours the ‘Night-capping’ guilds take advantage of outnumbering the enemy and capture major points holding them for 12+ hours and earning a huge lead on the sleeping enemies. A simple fix to this would be scaling values depending on the total population of the 3 servers in the 4 borderlands. As an example:

Note: the % displayed are of the current population in Wv3 out of the maximum it can hold. i am unsure on the actual numbers but say 3 borderlands + eternal can hold 500 people, and 250 are online and in any one of them, i am referring to that being 50% population.

During Prime-Time Wv3, all 4 borderlands would be full for all 3 servers. The population would be 100% full across all servers:

• Supply Camp = 10 Points
• Tower = 20 Points
• Keep = 50 Points
• Castle = 70 Points.

Now during off-peak hours, some borderlands for some servers wont be full. Lets say 50% of one server is still online, and the other 2 are @ 25% (33% full across all servers)

• Supply Camp = 3 Points
• Tower = 7 Points
• Keep = 17 Points
• Castle = 23 Points.
  Figures rounded up or down to nearest 1

This type of system would somewhat balance the point gain and not make the lead uncatchable, whilst still promoting as many people to log on as possible to night cap (more on, higher the value)

you go JQ you keep proveing that point… yea… keep doing that.

^ Kazim – Siege golems can’t swim, but mesmer using portals can

so true lol

Your both wrong :/
Siege Golems can swim, and the mesmer portal no longer works on siege golems.

Funny, even if i was participating today in capturing keep in 1 of borderlands using siege golems and mesmer that teleported every1 and EVEN siege golems through the lake

You insist that what i saw was a dream or what?

Anyway back on topic – I wouldn’t be calling that Underworld cheated/hacked to take keep. And without any serious proof, you shouldn’t be saying this cause you just look silly. And “1 guys saw and told me” is not serious proof.

Check the video i posted. Mesmer drops a portal @ 0:18 seconds at bottom to top of stairs to port golems up. Not 1 ports up, i even press F and I’m not ported.

A well planned attack that isn’t noticed that includes a large amount of siege golems can capture keeps in minutes.

That’s a video i took earlier today when Caedas guild blitzed Henge of Denravi’s fully upgraded keep. We used no siege equipment apart from the golems and a ram on the front gate that didn’t even manage to get used.

You nerds are going to get smashed when you step to HoD next week.

Here is a SS of us DESTROYING the #2 and #3 Servers in NA.

Anyone from SoS or IOJ want revenge? Roll HoD for a week no sense of you all joining ET only to lose to HoD just join HoD and kill them over and OVER!

50k Gap isn’t exactly ‘Destroying’ considering some servers are dealing with full map domination & 250k+ point differences.

Also if your ‘Destroying’ why would you be trying to recruit? and why would people want to join HoD? If anything they’d go to SBI or JQ for the funner fight.
