Considering the constant fluctuation of mats, every answer is false after a few hours. But to estimate, around 30g+

psss… imho, you will get way more skillpoints for the stone playing your main and giving him all 8 craft disciplines then spread them. Just a matter of choices, because true, you can boost alts to 80 sooner, if you’re planning to play with them too. If it’s just a purpose of skillpoints, uhm..

i already have master craft almost on my mains, its just for skill points x.x also, 30g ish seemed to jive with my estimates. thanks =D

Around 32g+ onwards.
Unless you have alot of ore & dust to cut those overprice mats.

hmm i do have a large amount of random mats. and yah thanks x.x

jw if anyone knows the numbers for what it cost at the moment to max all 8 crafts?

-need to level random toons and use their skill points for the ever infamous mystic clovers >.<

do mega events, stand on 1 toe pray to Melandru, get 2 precursors from chest. bam welcome to the 1% club. jk uhh if you farm dungeons like mindless farm i believe you can make around 2-3.5g an hour. what i personally do is just put hundreds of buy orders in trading post in the morning. collect in evening re list them and then put new buy orders…..now i don’t make as much as those power traders, but i atleast have a steady income from an effortless task.

hmm maybe i should try my hand again with the mystic toilet

indeed thank you. based on interactions i have had with other dev’s ….this is certainly was a first o.o. when i saw it in the mail that basically made my day…opened it and got dusk….that made my week…thank you o.o bows

looool yes thank you anet ;DD

all of a sudden the rage and sadness i had from 1000+ rares in forge has disappeared

the jealousy and butthurt…it flows through me

i don’t think you know the difference between “soulbound on use” and “soulbound”

Then i don’t think you talking something that’s related to the thread anymore.
Moreover, I do know the different & sentence was directly copied from Official GW2 Wiki.

sigh…..
i feel as though u did not read this thread… no one here is asking weather a legendary is account bound the moment it is crafted, but rather the argument is over the fact that a legendary weapon is trad-able from the moment it is crafted, it is basically like any wep you make from the forge. the argument the op made is that it should be auto account bound and not be an item that can be mailed or posted in the trading post……..

i dont get it. …..whose fault is that people buy items for listed value and not put a cheap buy order? if someone is so impatient they want to buy something for 50more gold than they have to instead of putting a reasonable buy order then, that person should not complain.. people do that in real life….its not ruining the economy, at some point items will stabilize and the buy orders and sell orders will be just about the same. also if he transmuted his legendary again…whose fault is that? it is well known doing so turns ur wep into an exotic

idk about manipulating the economy but i have been on both sides, at the start of the game i grinded alot and now i just tp, i can say i prefer trading post to rng+ diminishing return as my source of income.
as to ur friend who didnt farm well tht isnt completely true 1 because a u need 1.1m karma on average he had to go and kill something to get that….2 you need 500 honor badges, he could just do jumping puzzles but he may have had a few pvp bouts doing that. 3, you need 100% world completion, and atleast 300 skill points again…..he had to have killed something. just because he didn’t grind snow trolls everyday for t6 mat doesnt mean he isnt entitled to a legendary, he simply worked at it from a different angle.

Curious, i didn’t see any order of legendaries at a resonable price (wasn’t this one the title of the thread, legendaries soulbound?)
Ye, he didn’t care, juggernaut was untouched, he answered “Meh, i’ll make one more what’s the problem”.
1: karma boost+de plinx etc tagging. Took 3 days per weapon. To be sure, he got enough karma for 3 more legendaries.
2: 2 friends mesmer portaled him to EB jp chest for a few hours. Using alts too. Pass badges. Delete alt. Rinse repeat. Few hours, 2 weapons done, 1000 badges.
3: Ye, he got rid of it at beginning for a few days, planning his future rich life. 2 gifts, 2 weapons.

Do you realize or not, 99% of the legendary around you are cheated, or i have to type you every other exploit was used to get his weapons? Oh ye, i forgot to mention how he got his precursors cheating (now is fixed hehe, he was smart to craft a few of them).
Now add the lost shores event + overflow. Guess, he’s so rich to log just to have fun to ruin a bit the TP, swing his weapons, and logoff.
Shortly, accordingly to the thread’s title: those legendaries MUST be soulbound when crafted, precursors too. We will see, finally, the end of those kind of trash players around laying on thousand of gold, ruining the TP and our game just when bored.

I’m surprised the Anet economist didn’t understood was time, after 3 months, to just get rid of them, and make both (precursor and legendary) just a soulbound weapon. After all, is a personal hard, long grinded achievement, isn’t it?
Such a fail.

that example is pretty unrealistic lol…..3 days at phlinx only? so u know for that to even be possible he would have had to have been at phlinx for literally 20-23 hours a day and not experience diminishing returns and always be at every single event on time all the time…………..lol k. if someone had the stamina balls and concentration and no other responsibility to do that then id say they deserve it.
- do you know how many tokens u get from a lv1 toon? lol….assuming some how he magically got 4 tokens every time (improbable) tht would mean for 20 straight hours no enemies showed up there and just 1 shotted him and that’s assuming it only took him 5min to finish it…. i need to find this magic server where this is possible. and even if it was this person is already " *grinding*" more than i would at any given moment.

world complete = idk atleast 1 week?
he had to do dungeons…..
not to mention have like i said over 300 skill points….. while tht might not be hard it still takes time.

also maybe some ppl exploited to get their legendary but dont say 99% did because that is not true, i know alot of ppl who did not…godskull was not the only way to be omni rich,…at the time the trading post was literally a gold mine….

in the end what difference does it make? if someone goes through the trouble of attaining a legendary they should be able to do w/e they want with it. its not like you are going to buy one anyways. if someone wants to throw their life savings away let them. instead there should be a visible title like world completion for creating a legendary out of the forge.. that way you know who bought their legendary and who made it.

Lucas Ashrock.8675:

When you have got money to buy precursors, you buy lower priced. Increasing the price, someone else will buy, you will cut off quite a lot. Rinse repeat.
Some others overfarmed lost shores event and got even 4 precursors, sold them.
Now rich as hell, can play with TP happily. I met a guy with 1500g, showing me real time how he ruined in 1 minute a t6 mat price lol
He made juggernaut and twilight (he ruined twilight retransmuting it as exo for stats) not even farming 1 second lol, more than play dungeon for gifts
I can make billion other examples of manipulation of TP camping on cutoffs.

Lucas Ashrock.8675:

Nah, it’s just the rich goes richer mechanism. God save us.
Just to add, he removed it, realizing noone would never ever buy it.

how is that rich gets richer?

Milocat.4960:

No. The person who farmed 2-3 months for 2000G does not deserve the Legendary nearly as much as the person who farmed for 2-3 months for all the materials. .

lol? farming is farming.

Agreed, these should NOT be sellable. This is a huge slap in the face to anyone spending a lot of time in game to craft one. All that work and some rich spoiled brat can just buy one with cash…

er someone would still have to farm it…and what do you mean rich spoiled brat? what if they farmed for the gold or played the tp. and to make a legendary you would still need a considerable amount of gold as most of the mats can be purchased in tp.

JonPeters.5630:

Fyi, the delay on first attack has been present since BWE2. It is there for balance reasons to give enemies a moment to react to the powerful summon.

First off: thank you for giving an intended date on the fix for beserker.

Second off: your statement that the delay is there to give enemies a time to react to the summon makes 0 sense. An enemy can react to the summon of a phantasm by interrupting you, blinding you, stealthing, stepping our of range, or dodging you – thus denying the summon from being summoned and putting the skill on cooldown.

Do a comparison between the opening attack of a phantasm, and some of the other spike damage skills in the game. Then please show us some concrete reasons as to why the opening attack of a phantasm is considered so powerful that an enemy should have two chances to completely negate the damage – once by denying the summons at all, and second by being able to kill it or dodge it after it’s summoned and before it does any damage.

I’m going to pick on thieves a little – where is my chance to react to a thief backstabbing me out of stealth? It does far more damage than my phantasms, and I have no chance to deny the attack.

^ quoted for truth.

yes thank you mr peters but umm, hi quick question maybe im missing something…. when a thief in hide decides to deal dmg to me without appearing first OR when a theif decides to use basalisk venom on my while in hide then proceed to backstab combo, uh where is my 3 times to evade tht combo? i mean i say 3 times since that does 3x+ more dmg than our “powerful” phantasms……
I try to make sense out of every patch change to Mesmer but i come up short every time…..it almost feels like you guys don’t even play these classes to see what kind of harm you cause.

yup i also noticed this, and reported it weeks ago, annd nothing……;D i do hear “we are looking into it” a whole darn lot…..id like some actions instead of words. i dont even pvp anymore, its just stupid atm summon phantasm and it dies before it attacks, or the fact that ibeserker does half the dmg it used to do, 1 nerf after another without anything in return. i just do my daily, maybe fractal and logg off to do something else tht is less frustrating.

better fix this nonsense asap….. just fell to my death

Actually, someone did have a copper pick on the TP last night for a couple hundred gold. It was listed on the main TP page as the most expensive listing on the market.

it was a buy offer, not a sell offer

One of my guildies also noticed the copper pick buy order as well another buy offer stalk of celery for 600gp yesterday. Makes me wonder what is causing this trend of high buy listings of non-tradable items. Perhaps it’s a creative gold storage scheme for gold-sellers (by hiding it away in the BLTC instead of the account vaults)? Or maybe those with a lot of coin are bypassing the max amount you can store in your account vault and storing their gold in BLTC by placing buy listings for non-tradable items?

or…….to show off/prove to someone you have x amount of gold while trying to buy an item without getting taxed on tp./for the lolz?

Nicolle Rodgers.4926:

Thank you for your suggestion. This is something we are looking into.

If you do, be sure to let us look if the name we want is available BEFORE purchasing the name change.

i don’t think that is how that works lol. make a new toon and check it urself? o.0

Anthile.8493:

Pearl weapons are supposed to be quaggan cultural weapons.

that would explain the sudden hatred i had towards my wep when i first crafted it x.x

gratz =DD the effects seem really really nice =D

i understand what unanimous is saying. lol its not a hard concept….the more hp u have the more damage u have, independent of how much you can actually heal. so vitality builds will take way more dmg than non vitality, so much so that they cant possibly heal their hp enough to survive another burst of agony.

rng is rng.
i have used about 50 so far and im at 20 clovers.
15char.

30 gold says u will never get the fix u desire.

yes where are my rewards?…………

i bought an eldrich scroll on my thief to use in a recipe on my mesmer (i had a soulbound component on mesmer) then saw scroll is soulbound….wasted 50sp. kinda stupid imho

I wasn’t being hostile or trying to o.o just meant its relatively still attainable without spamming fractals

Dware.4259:

Hickeroar.9734:

For the record, precursors don’t go for 2-300 gold anymore. I think the most expensive one on the TP is around 180g.

I have been playing 3 months and dont have ANYWHERE near 180 gold…

I think its insane people have that much gold, obviously people are buying gems with real money.

or they are better at making gold than you are.

do daily every day for a month + monthly = almost 400k karma. do that for 2 months + dungeons and events hear and there GASP you have 1million karma you need

grizzlebizzle.9371:

If half the players got precursors they would not be worth anything in the TP. It is not like everybody would even want to buy a precursor off there because there is a ton more that goes into building the legendary. They were not that common of a drop. Maybe 5%.

Also nobody made 500g off it. 100g? Sure. 500g? No. The prices dropped through the floor as soon as the event was over. And very few people got more than one precursor. At most if they were very lucky and did the event a few times on overflows they might have had 2. Any more than that I don’t believe.

90% true. i highly doubt anyone made 500g of it unless they got dusk twice or something. anyways you forgot to factor in those who A got a precursor and kept it to get a legendary, B got a precursor without knowing what it was and treated it like a normal exotic maybe equipped it, salvaged it, or threw it in the forge (the irony in that last part is alot), and C those who got a precursor but cannot afford listing price to sell it for w/e reason.

Izuna.5307:

LinseyMurdock.4165:

I am definitely working on the precursor scavenger hunt, but like others have said, things like this take time and I want to get it right. Not to mention, it’s not the only thing on my plate. Please do not expect to see the precursor scavenger hunt in the next patch. I may be awesome, but I am still only human and this is a fairly large amount of work to get done and done right. Please be patient!

That would be a slap in the face of those who bought their precursors and drop 100s of gold in forge like the ancient karka event was as well. YOU use that event on purpose to drop the cost of precursors another slap in the face. It is very apparent as you posted about it being your concern about the cost. So one or two weeks later do you make a event that dropped around 350+ precursors. Lets put this into perspective instance one you bought a game for 60 bucks 2 weeks later that game is free slap in the face no? So for the people your gonna screw over who worked there butts off trying luck in the forge finally got their precursor/ legendary how will you compensate them? To be honest If you keep doing stuff like that you really are going to ruin the game its been two month since the game came out those complaining about precursors there going to keep complaining because they want it for free remember that.

that’s just the price of being first. i am in that boat of those who spend hundreds on the mystic toilet, but i do not think we will be compensated in any way. would be nice but i doubt it and i am fine with it i suppose. think of it this way, if they did not do anything to make it cheaper you may have never been able to afford it and might have thrown hundreds of more gold and not get it.

honestly precurosrs is not even half the battle, the more popular legendaries have mats that cost more than a precursor itself.

yes…the modding is getting out of hand. it sometimes feels as if they arent paying attention to what they infract/move. anyways that’s….strange

did you read Roberts notes on changes to dungeon?

I amm pretty sure this is the wrong subsection to be posting this in.

to anet/op if you are going to make your event cater to a specific type of people in a specific region then don’t sell copies to other nations that don’t fit the description. its not like the people complaining just bought a copy of a korean mmo that isnt even issued where they live then go and complain they had to be up at 1am to do the event.

to Anet:
As long as people quarrel about not being able to take part in a one time event you are essentially doing everything right with it. Obviously it turned out to be not as bad in the end because suddenly everybody wants to be part of it…

But, the timezones really is a thing to think about next time. Making the event available at different times for every individual timezone and structuring overflows accordingly, probably will be a bit of work, but it may also remove a lot of the problems with lags. I dont know anything about the technical side behind this, just a guess out of common sense…

people already raised this issue since before anyone knew precurosrs would be available. it has been an issue in every single event they have that is one time. ur 2nd paragraph tots +1 imo

Kiviar.7063:

Obvious plant is obvious?

People are complaining because they were unable to attend an event. They are complaining because they were not even given a reasonable opportunity to attend an event. They are complaining because they attended an event four hours and got nothing out of it. They are complaining because others attended the same event and got everything.

There needs to be a stop to these stop Fanboy/Obvious Anet Employee posts. It is distracting us from explaining to Arena that these sort of shenanigans are not acceptable and if they continue to do this everyone will leave for the next new shiny game, and will take all their shiny dollars with them.

coffeeisyum.5297:

So complaining has reached a new level. I’m sure if they put in better loot people who missed out would have raged hard. I’m sure if they did not let people who jumped in late because they were busy with RL and only caught the end not get loot them people would have raged hard.

People rage no matter what. It’s a carousel of rage that goes round and round and no matter what happens people will think they’re entitled to only what they want.

and people who were at the event and got dc multiple times? stop complaning? really? so ppl who did the event up to 4 times and got dc every single time before making it to the end have no right to complain?………….get ur head out of your bum. k

also ps the event did give loot tht is unattainable elsewhere. hmm the 20slot specific bag and the amulet. that is a mini Triforge pendant…..k….

penatbater.4710:

this was by far one of the most frustrating things i have ever experienced in my entire mmo life. not to mention i basically did the event almost 3 times and got dc 2/3 times and on the 3rd time server reset.

this was the best way to attract new customers…….said by no one ever.

Luzbel.9735:

1 silver 89 copper

that is really specific lol

l o l…….just lawl. this event impacted the market by so much…i dont even…

nope. as far as im concerned i did the event 2.5 times. not doing that nonsense again. how about you mail me the reward that you jipped me out of.

Aegael.6938:

And if they do drop precursors, it will be a 0.0001% chance, and Arenanet will claim that the drop rate was unchanged from the actual chest.

quoted for truth.

bull kittens. bull kittens everywhere. im pretty sure it will be some crap box with insane low drop rate and when questioned about it they will say the drop rate was the same. that or something omega useless like a pact token and 26 silver.

yah excpt i did this event twice and got dc i just want a fkn chest….so angry i dont even…..

kitten u anet….all my rage and hatred….i award it to you. gratz.

and its gone

id love an invite. x.x

i was able to do the first 2 events but due to my schedule couldnt attend the final event……..fantastic ;D /end sarcasm.

who cares if he is or isnt the real worlds first creator of this legendary? at the end of the day he’s happy with the weapon and has come on here to show the rest of us how awesome it looks which is more than others who claim to have made it first chose to do.

Nice pics FILTHOUND.7659 and congrats on the legendary

i love when ppl post stuff like this, HE CARES. thats why he says it. personally the trident or whatever with the eels is 10x cooler than this one, i mean the devs couldnt even decide between a hawaiian or japanese name so they just merged it or something

Actually, it’s all Hawaiian. Kotaki is the last name of our illustrious former lead concept artist Kekai Kotaki who is Hawaiian. The concept for this Legendary is the last concept piece he did for us before moving on.

Congrats on your Legendary!!!

i didnt know you still looked at this section of forums lol

I had to take a forums break for a couple weeks while I was crazy busy with work and family stuff going on.
