Dear Aeranima,
Just got done reading your past posts. I’m giving you a big hug and letting you know it’s okay. Hang in there friend, and definitely take some time off.
Best regards
I think buying a legendary would be the equivalent of having someone log onto your account and complete the Clock Tower JP for you. I don’t think I would run around the room screaming in victory by simply purchasing something off the TP.
I like the chart. It’s something to stick on the mirror so every day you can look at it and tell yourself, I can do this…I can do this…I can do this.

Just looking at the Wiki…
They (Legendary precursors) are obtained randomly at a very low rate from large chests rewarded for defeating Claw of Jormag,Tequatl the Sunless, and The Shatterer and for capturing Temples in Orr or from explorer mode dungeon chests. They can also be obtained randomly when placing four level 75 or higher rare or exotic weapons into the Mystic Forge.1 If all four weapons are the same type, (i.e. four staves, four rifles, etc…) the output will also be that type. The higher the level and rarity of the items to be combined directly translates to a greater chance of getting a precursor.
I wonder if you have a better chance with the chests…or 200 exotics. Only time will tell.
I’m finally off work!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Thanks for taking the time to post your results. Good to know.
Happy New Year ArenaNet!!!
It took me 3 days trying on average 1-2 hours a day before I finally beat it. Now I can make it 1 out of 4 tries and I’ve been farming the puzzle daily. I never did make the Clock Tower but from then up to Wintersday I practiced over and over again every JP I was near on the map. I’m not a l33t jumper but I want to be, so with practice eventually I will be l33t
I have the same questions, which means I have the same underlining feeling that you have
Look… I suppose I play thief because ultimately I’m a roll-player. I’m hoping that if people can’t see past that fact, then maybe there is some redeeming trait that a thief can contribute to dungeon runs.
Hey Thief Community… I sent ThidiasNoctum a PM offering assistance. I don’t want people to start thinking I have a direct association with GW2GURU and the basic thief guide that I keep linking to. I hate to see a post in our forums go too long with <0> responses
Hey BlackIsleDragon,
I had the same questions as you when leveling and I found the best answers @ http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/64903-thief-a-basic-guide/
Sorry that I’m not answering your questions directly here in the forum, but the provided guide link is a great starting point.
Cheers!
I hate getting them as drops because I cant salvage and they dont sell for much.
Are back pieces world drop, or only in specific maps/dugeons? I have never seen one dropped.
Back pieces do indeed drop, at least one dropped for me just before the Halloween event. I think the Wiki refers to these as back braces – http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Back_brace#Acquisition
<edit>I might not be remembering this correctly, I think for me this was not a mob drop but an item from http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Down_the_Hatch</edit>(edited by Zimlobo.3962)
Initially I was scratching my head as well
To join a Toypocalypse instance, speak to the unnamed Seraph Soldier with a pair of crossed flags above his head, standing on a barrel not far from Tixx on the Grand Piazza in Lion’s Arch.
Sounds like a Revive Orb was used – http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Revive_Orb
Thank you EpicPotato for sharing. I can’t wait to try this out!
I use http://www.gw2armor.com/ for all my armor browsing needs. As for runes and such the wiki is your best bet http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Runes. Cheers!
Though GW2armor is a great site for finding a skin you like it is terrible for finding wich armor has wich stats.
pls read the question before answering
GW2armor is not the most user friendly site, so it’s easy to miss the mouse over feature. For example go to http://www.gw2armor.com/human/male/crafted/medium/display.php, scroll to the bottom of the screen where you’ll find the different sets for the skin, and finally mouse over the individual pieces to see the stats
Edited for clarity

Hello Wasabi Kitty,
Here’s an excellent thief guide that helped me out when I was getting started.
http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/64903-thief-a-basic-guide/
Love your name!
Hey Gordon,
I’d say your best bet is to join a guild. You might want to browse the following to find a good fit for you.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/guilds/guilds
http://www.gw2guilds.org/
Good luck!
Why do you need to say you’re a girl in every post?
Anyway, you’ve played 1500 hours? Uh… looks like you’re happy with the game as it stands. So why are you complaining?
Also, just wondering, why do you have “1500+ hours” in your signature? Is it a personal achievement?
I believe the point of proving a framework before committing comments for peer-review is about building credibility. Hours played is a relevant factor in building credibility. Also, I do not feel that Fay is complaining. She is providing honest feedback that I’m sure ArenaNet appreciates.
Cheers!
<edit>Now I feel bad. We’re not ganging up on you Nayru. I’m just bored and typing my 2c</edit>(edited by Zimlobo.3962)
Hey Fay,
Excellent feedback. I’m sure ArenaNet will take notice and note your comments. It’s important for people with your experience to speak up and help shape the future of our game.
Well done!
Hey Tetrodoxin,
Just in case you haven’t already seen this, another good place for armor info can be found @ http://www.gw2armor.com/
Cheers!
Princess because I find it terrifying. I don’t feel like she’s fallowing me so much as I’m running from her.
^Can’t argue with lore. Yup, that’s exactly the way it would play out.
Caithe could have stabbed them both in the back at the very beginning if she had wanted. She’s just smarter than that
Totally! And here I was tossing this question around until Caithe’s name was mentioned. She would kill them both. Kinda scary.
Legendary items will take time. Not meant to be had in a matter of weeks.
I do believe that’s the answer to the question. Honestly I’m surprised to have seen as many legendaries as I have. Yes, the system is working as intended because through normal game-play it could take a year+ to achieve a legendary. I think of it as a built in customer loyalty incentive… Just one man’s opinion
There’s some good points in this thread. I never really thought about it from this perspective. ArenaNet would be in real trouble if the forums were completely dead. No good or bad.
I’m not too worried about costs. My plan is to wait out the market. I should have my first legendary in a years time (August 2013) and reach the other 2 that I have my eye on in about 3 years (~2015). I’m in no rush because in my eyes legendary skins are just one small part of an overall extensive game. All bubbles must burst
Ooh fun game! Guess what the thing says!?
No matter where you go, there you are.
Hello <LoveTheName>Sonicwhip,</LoveTheName>
I vote Yes Please for an ArenaNet con. I will say that as much as I like this idea, I don’t imagine that the community is going to be supportive. I can hear it now… Don’t spend money on a con, fix your broken game instead!!! Rage Rage Rage. Just to be clear, GW2 is not broken.
Cheers!
No rewards other than maybe a counter cheev that says the player has; for example, completed the Clock Tower 500 times.
I get the coolness of JPs coming and going with the seasons. My thing is I would pay cash to have the puzzles as mini standalone games, and I know that I’m not the only one.
Hey ArenaNet,
Want to make some money!? Sell a token through Black Lion Trading for year-round jumping puzzle access. 1 token can equal 1 seasonal puzzle allowing you to sell multiple tokens for each individual JP. Don’t like that idea? Put a timer on access, 1 token buys you 30 days of access. I don’t care I just want to play the JPs over and over and over and over…
Make this happen and I’ll trow my money at the screen.
Cheers!
I cleared the puzzle!!! And I did not clear the Clock Tower. I must say, the fun is in failing. Yes when I made it I ran around the apartment screaming, but the process of getting to that point was pretty darn amazing. Well done ArenaNet!
HAHA I haven’t beat the puzzle yet but that’s because I’ve had a bottle of wine. After reading this I got my thief drunk to. Didn’t work out so well. We just stared at one another trying to remember what it was we’re supposed to do.
I apologize Sablephoenix, but I do not agree with you. I do not want to come across as argumentative or disrespectful so I’m simply voting down this post. If you ever need a hand in-game look me up an I’ll come running! Happy holidays
Hey Daddicus,
Not sure if you’ve stubble across the following link, but it helped me wrap my head around runes so I figured I’d share.
Cheers!
I think the natural progression will be for people to complain about the coal nerf. "At first I was supper upset about the coal in Wintersday chests, but then time nerfed my despair and now I’m only a little upset. Lame! "
I would like to have world completion but I have no interest in PvE.
Please remove all world completion points outside of those in WvW.
Thank you.
Well there you go, that’s a different perspective. No less valid than my own.
Well Rakuren, I suggest we wait everyone out. Maybe 3 years from now population will drop around the puzzles to a point that we’ll have a chance to complete them. 3 years also happens to be my Legendary time-frame
It would be really cool if people across all servers would just agree that the first Saturday of the month, for example, would be a WvW puzzle ceasefire day.
Too bad about the chat. No one can hear you scream in WvW. But LOL good answers from everyone!!!
No *Message Body length must at least be 15.
Interesting. So you would beat to death a naked helpless character begging for you to spare his life?
Hello all,
If you’re someone who’s going for World Completion and have no interest in PvP, will you be left alone if you run the WvW zone naked with no weapons? Do you think it would be unnerving enough to be left alone if when attacked you /sleep and while laying on the ground you /s No it hurts! and Why are you doing this to me?
Admittedly these questions are a bit tongue-in-cheek
Cheers!
Hello Gorphentos,
I have stuck with GW because the lore and group play.
For the lore, I strongly suggest reading Ghosts of Ascalon and Edge of Destiny. In my opinion both of these novels, with a third to come, adds greatly to the game-play.
As for grouping, everyone heals and everyone gets loot. Because of this there is no reason not to spend your day running around helping others.
Have fun and look me up if you ever need a hand.
Cheers!
…of proportions which explain why Flava Flav wore that gigantic clock (he was a GW2 player from the future)
Good stuff Anymras LOL
Hey Fall,
The way I see it is I’ll get a legendary one day by simply playing the game. The reason for me personally to craft a legendary is to show that I’ve been around for a couple years… because that’s how long it’s going to take me
Cheers!
I find the previews of the event to look very creepy. Can’t wait!
+1 for a candy cane weapon skin! That would be amazing.
Hello Ikcen,
Well with those haunting eyes and strong shoulders you may get some unexpected attention. A bit less fear inspiring and more along the lines of ooh la la ;-)
Keeping fighting the good fight!
Hey Bubby,
Have you tried using http://gw2lfg.com/ to gather together a group? I for one am always down to run any dungeon. Practice makes perfect
Good luck!
<edit>I checked http://gw2lfg.com/ and people are in there now looking for CoE groups</edit>(edited by Zimlobo.3962)
