Alright so yesterday i finally reached to 800gold in order to buy all T6 mats for my legendary, but i am very skeptical about devs making gift of magic and might pvp obtainable via reward tracks. Should i wait or buy mats now?? i will lose alot of gold if i buy it now and make gifts then after week or two later we get update like that. I am worried HALP!
So in my quest for Meteorlogicus, I have faced a lot of challenges. The cost of the pre (thankfully got another, more expensive pre, sold it, and bought Storm), running CoE (not so bad, really, just monotonous), and now, on my final stretch, it is the T6 mats I am stuck on. My highest stack is like 155 Ancient Bones. My Lowest is sitting around 87 Armored Scales.
I’ve used Laurels, I’ve used item promotion, I’ve been lucky enough to find some, but at this rate, this step will be slower than all others.
To alleviate this, I have come here, asking two things:
1) Where would be the ideal (try to be specific) place to farm these?
2) Are there any groups on any servers that farm this for a dedicated amount of time? I would love to join if possible!
If you have any other tips and tricks you may be able to share, I’d appreciate it. Thanks for reading!
Where did you farm exactly??? i get about 5 of each type like 8x 45 to 50 mats per 6-7 hours in Cursed Shore just get a group and do chains farm moldy bags sell w/e extra do champs/temples salvage rares get ecto sell exotic stuff/Get Orichalchum/Ancient Wood/Omnomnom and Ghost Pepper. Its Easy.Use Omnom Bars for boost and guild banners for Magic Find

Well after they removed berserker gear my guard is kinda screwed since ferocity doesn’t provide that much benefits and i feel squishee in it. Should i go with Celestial (WupWup) with Soldier runes? i do WvW/PvE.
Don’t forget about the Economy manipulators, that are forcing precursors to go to absurd prices, buying all the stock, days ago i saw some going from 500g to 900g just because.
And yes ANet, of course game is big enough to not be possible to manipulate economy… tell that to the guilds dedicated to spend dozens of thousands of gold on TP.
It’s not economy manipulators. If you’d read the blogs instead of put on the tinfoil, you’d realize the surge in prec prices is because of the fact that by crafting one, you can give ALL your characters the look of a legendary. That’s what’s driving the uptick in prices.
No, prices rose BEFORE wardrobe update had been announced.
What do you mean ‘Loot is not random’ with your definition of random.
It can’t be predicted, so it’s random.
It may have an algorithm for how likely, but then it comes down to random whether you roll right to get it.
It may not be able to be predicted by you, but it is not random.
It’s like how to you, meteorites are random because you can’t predict when they will show up but to an astronomer or astrophysicist, the meteorites are completed scheduled.
Loot drops based on a formula. That formula is hidden from view and further veiled by an algorithm that selects a number to give it the appearance of randomness. It is not random though.
dude its all RNG! random newbie can roll 4 rares and get precursor or few in a row i seen many people who did that and only had 2k achievement points
To earn, epic instanced battles. Something like 5-player instanced versions of world bosses like Tequatl or the Golem Mark II that do not leave a lot of room for error. About 1 boss per map could do.
Each of the battles would count separately towards a repeatable achievement, and once each one is done once, the achievement completes and gives a loot bag with the item.
A really good player would be able to get them done relatively fast, then the achievement reward goes on cooldown for a month or two so no matter how good you are you can’t do too many.
As for the slow craft, the core of it would be doing many events. These events would spawn vendors on success. The vendors would have limited stocks so you can’t buy all of the stuff in one go, an have to come back later and do events again and buy again once in a while after the NPCs restock for you. Then using the materials from the drops and the event vendors to craft more stuff, along items purchased with skill points and karma, crafting timed items. All of that for a long time. A minimum of 3 months if buying some stuff off the TP, 6 months on average, but never more than a year when doing all of it on your own.
Personally I am down for anyway on making precursor will it be WvW,PVE or PVP or special fractal thingy. BETTER than playing lottery at mystic forge like you are in Las Vegas or something >.> ANYTHING is better than that. Also how do you expect someone to make 900 gold or more to get just precusor???? prices keep rising!!! you never caught up with the price unless people stop buying gold or flipping **** in the trading post. Why should people rage and quit the game for 1 item, i mean is it that significant thing to do ArenaNet? why you all torchering us to get what we like.
I’m agree that people can craft their own precursor, in a long term and maybe gated 1 per 2 months or something with materials account bound.
I mean, drops in these games are based on luck, but when I heard that after 3000 4000 hours of playing people aren’t still able to drop it, it’s a shame.
Actually, I don’t care a lot about legendary, but people deserve to drop or make or whatever a precursor, after so many hours played, just for saying: jesus christ! I got you!
Btw I’m quite sure that this RNG is related to the Gem Store.
I’ve put like 1000 rares in the forge and nothing and then..
I’ve noticed that after spend some money buying gems, the same day I’ve got a Dawn and a Dusk in the MT with like 250 rares and the following days my drop rate was enourmously increased, exotics and rares from trash.
I don’t usually spend money on the gem store so it was obviously evident this change.
After 1 months I put over 1000s rares in one day and nothing, few trash exotics.
So I don’t know, there is something dirty.
Well said mate!! but this topic going nowhere if we just rage and argue all day :/ better keep this topic busy so devs would notice us.
4.2k hours played since headstart, +1k gold down the forge, 0 precursor drops yet 4 legendaries and 1 precursor waiting to be crafted all thanks to the wonders of the TP.
If you want a legendary then just buy the kitten thing from the TP.
Yeah cause it’s really cooler to buy a legendary instead of earning it..
cooler? there is NOTHING cool about buying legendary from TP? its called legendary for a reason and to work your butt off to get one. Goal here is to create one
Great now precursor price went up to almost 1k (atleast when it comes to dusk/spark/legend) You just cant afford on buying with gold and keeping up with the price.
Dear ArenaNet, I understand that you want to make money and want us players to pay for gems but WHY did you removed Asura gates from main towns and put them in Virgil??? you know that people at low level travel from town to town so they can level up quickly with more hearts but you just ruined it all!!!
The recipes are outrageously priced on the TP now (at least for the ones that would make sense for Celestial stats). Been waiting for the Bazaar of Four Winds to open back up (where these originated in the first place).
Deldrimor Steel ingot Cooldown is account wide?? Should i make lots of chars lvl500 and start making more???
As title says how you craft heavy celestial armor i know that you need 400 armorsmithing(or higher). Can someone tell me the requirements and where can i get recipes?
Well here is an idea I came up with recently. What if player get special currency item after completing the personal story end in reward box or even mail to further purchase precursor from Npc and also this precursors can be soul bound to prevent market inflation… If done so players will be willing to do their story even more so and they be satisfied by results and as for company they won’t lose customers.
there is nothing fun then leveling! grab a friend get on skype/TS3 and do hearts.
HALP!
