Guild Wars 2

bantapoo.1093:

stupid question: can destroyer and molten cores/lodestones drop off regular mobs? and where?

From dungeons and rare drop from bags, I believe.

Useless thread, no need to create more topics of that kind. ANet doesn’t care about precursors, they WON’T change it so fast. They MAY change it after year or so. And now pray for luck. Huge amount of luck,

TheRabbit.9478:

Can someone that has a gift of light try tossing in an Orichalcum Shield Backing while they’re at it?

It’d give that spectral shield, Aegis (?). I am not sure if it’s shield backing or that 2nd shield component…

Jujube.4981:

Why does Volcanus, an exotic have better effects than most of the legendaries?

Does it? For me Twilight has the best particle effect. And volcanus is “legendary for poor people”

Thanks Maisen ^^ I was sure it would be molten or destro cores :P

edit: changed thread name for future discoverys, so it won’t be thread for 2 weapons only.

Maisen, oh just tell us that dude -.-

Fender.3624:

As I said before, i’ve already tried all yellow materials for the 4th component. Doesn’t work.

Tried destroyer cores too? And gems, especially rubys? Or maybe…lump of coal?

That Fender’s recipe for volcanus
scroll+vial+coins+X is right. 4th component might be:
-molten/destroyer lodestones (or cores, but I doubt it)
-ectos
-orichalcum ingots, tried it?

Try molten/destro lodestones as first.

I’d check what are those gifts made from. You see, gift of light had 2 components which fit to Foefire: it was gift of ascalon and charged lodestones.

So, if gift of lightning is made from..charged lodestones, it can indeed create lightning weapons (Mjölnir), so assumption is right.
Gift of Lightning can create lightning weapons and vial of liquid flame can create…flame weapons (possibly Volcanus).

Why here is no option for quoting??

Kyiv, here is one lightning weapon – that conjured (?) elementalist’s hammer, which looks like made from the lightning. It’s recipe would be:
scroll+coins+gift of lightning+hammer part

It’s’ for guys who want to have that lightning hammer.

edit: name of that lightning hammer probably is: Mjölnir.

I saw some people in Reddit talking about those (and other) weapons, so I’ve changed thread name :P By the way I see 2 recipes for the Volcamus: one uses 2 types of lodestones and 2nd uses liquid flame.

Volcanus might be:
70 coins + scroll + LIQUID FLAME + 250 orichalcum Greatsword blade

Kill me if it isn’t true! :P

Thanks you guys. By the way, when I made that thread I didn’t expect so big interest!

Thank you Chronologist very much! So we have gift of history and light to try.

Velladin: If gift of energy doesn’t combine with the scroll, that DOESN’T mean that gift of history can’t combine with scroll, too.
(Here might be possiblity, that foefire’s essence doesn’t use gifts, but I think they do) Both gifts of history and of light have Gift of Ascalon in it and of Energy doesn’t have, am I right? I will ask people with gifts to try to combine them with scroll.

Edit: I’d try with gift of light as first, because it has CHARGED lodestones. Spectral weps are charged

Maybe Foefire is soulbound/blind on acquire, it’s why it doesn’t appear in the TP? If I will discover recipe, I will write it here of course. At the moment it MIGHT be:

scroll+coins+gift of history/gift of light/gift of…energy+ orichalcum component like greatsword hilt or shield part for spectral shield

Velladin, sacrifice yourself xD
If no, you MIGHT discover new, another weapon/item which needs gift of history?

Foefire is historical…and light. I will try one of them when I have enough gold.

Also, /clap to “nice people” who are “I know but I won’t tell” type.

I was thinking about trying scroll+weapon, too, but I dont think it’d match. We need to try g. of history and then we can search 4th item.

Trophys are for salvage, mostly. I dont think it will match with the scroll. We must try out gifts.

So as first it was even easy. Then I had to “rescue allies from that sunken/destroyed ship”. So I swimmed here and…Wow, 1 ally to revive and rest was un-revive-able (:D) So I was swimming around, deeper and nothing here…Then that asura appeared (no idea where from) and I had to swim (with my 2 allies, 1 rezzed, 2nd..appeared from somewhere) to the coast and set bombs. It was easy, even with those 100 Risen around. Then everything destroyed, catapults and Risen. And here was next task – go to “meeting”. So i resses everybody who died and went to that place…nothing happens. Maybe just because":
-one person died on the ship from start?
-Zott attacked one risen who was around?

So I raged and quitted. 30 mins lost and 2 repair kits. So many bugs in one mission…

“I’m thinking to craft the Gift of History, but if it won’t match with anything at the forge I think I’ll be done with GW2.”

Science needs sacrifices If you won’t do that, who will do?

Wait! What about http://www.gw2db.com/recipes/9433-gift-s-of-light

That gift requires charged lodestones….charged… And those spectral weapons looking like, uhm, charged weapons

edit: that gift is used to create legendary GREATSWORD, too. But
edit2: my ideas: each of spectral weapons might need diferent gifts OR just same gift and different weapon components.

“Someone on my server made the shield, but he didn’t want to share the recipe”

Are you surprised? I am not. But that means, that it must require gift, cuz he would say “throw 4 weapons” recipe, so we are on good way. I bet It’s g. of history. If no, then…of darkness maybe, cuz ghosts are dark?

Gift of History contains Gift of Ascalon…we need someone to try it out.

I guess that Linsey is reading that thread and ROFLing to us hardly, cuz real recipe is to combine 4 random rare greatswords xD

But, on topic, books might be good idea..if that recipe even exists anywhere.

Arcanis.2437:

I like Foefire’s Essence more then any Legendary, probably couse im a Guardian. But that’s just me.

I’ve been posting on Map Chat the link to the weapon, to tease people to search for it. Yet not one said that theyve got the recipe. Eather people found the recipe and are not telling, or there are no one trying to find it.

Edit: as anyone tryed Scroll + Coins + Ori comp + Glacial or Charged Lodestone?

I tried with even crystal and charged lodestones but, if I remember, they don’t add to the scroll. And orichalcum comps isn’t good idea, imo, as those weapons are…well, they are spirit, arcane, spectral weapons. They most likely require one of gifts.

I heard that someone has that weapon already. And guess what? He didn’t tell how to obtain it, naturally. Linsey won’t help us too. All we can do is to pray so I can get dusk, which I’d sell and find recipe for foefire’s essence

(cuz foefire’s essence might be cheaper than legendary wep and still looks cool)

“Fixed the Mystic Forge recipe for Immobulus requiring a defunct item. It now requires giant eyes instead.”

So it might be:
scroll+eyes+coins+X

I’ve tried ancient scepter core and rod..none of them works. Any ideas?

It must have component like hilt, blade etc. Look, here are other “spirit weapons”: foefire’s peril-hammer, aether-bow and shield. All of same type. So it’d be:
scroll+gift+coins+weapon component

Guys…do you think that it’s possible to obtain named exotic from Crafting’s discovery?

I tried many, many combinations… it maybe requires charged lodestones, but what with…? Here are maybe some clues in the Ascalon, somewhere.

Maybe ghastly gs fits with other things in the forge…maybe:
Ghastly gs+lodestones+x+y

No idea. We need to meet someone who currently has Foefire’s, but I dont think he’d say how to obtain it… if Linsey Murdock would say, we wouldn’t lose our time/gold anymore xD

Npcs are good idea. Or books, runes on the walls… I tried to explore AC by myself

Orr has nothing with Foefire…

Here aren’t, for example, 95% of named exotic weapons like Foefire’s Essence, Peril, Immobulus, Volcanus and much much more, so not every item. The problem is, they would be expensive like hell.

On topic, I’d try to salvage items for matts, but kits cost silver, too!

Thanks you all for tips, but I tried most (if not all) of them:
-I am always selling blue/green crap and salvaging yellows by my mystic kit or bl kit. NOTE: salvaging yellows is RNG: one time I got 50s profit, another time got 50s money loss…and rare items are…well, they are rare to drop. I have around 80% MF or so (depends if I died and my sigil resets hehe).
-I was uhm…flipping. I focused on sigils and runes – they took LOOOOOONG time to be bought (i placed orders), and most times I was undercutted by 1-10000copper lol (yes, here are noobs who undercut you by 20silver).
-farming events…tried to farm, but 1.7s isn’t enough for me… and mobs get killed just before I cast my The-Fastest-AoE-skill-ever (usually berserker, as it does decent aoe dmg) on group of mobs. Ah yes! And I am collecting every bone they drop (no, not crafting materials, just those…skulls), stack of them is worth 25s I guess.
-tried to farm dungeons: I’ve met some pugs (my guild is lazy) and in every group I was losing at least 6silver (or much, much more).
-I tried to farm those t6 matts, too. ANet thinks: "no! don’t let them farm, cuz they will become rich! Let’s add diminishing return to farm. And diminishing return to dungeons. Ah ye, and to events. And million other things with DR.
-I tried to farm orichalcums/ancient woods: oris are bugged and don’t spawn after ~6h… and farming those nodes every day, 3 times in one day, is not fun. It’s boring like hellll. Of course I was collecting T5 woods and mithrils to convert them in the mystic forge to ori/ancient wood…of course, sometimes I was getting 10orichalcums worth 20s+ from 250 mithrils worth around 50s.
-I tried to put 4 rares to obtain exotic. RNG, big risk. i lost more than I gained.
-my artificing is big loss. It is better to sell mats, than items from those mats.

My idea is to try new mystic forge recipes…you know, those undiscovered. And if I will discover my recipe, nobody will know that MWHAHAHAHA.

So playing TP is waste of time, events too, forge is waste of gold, crafting is total crap and totally useless why did I even lvl it… I must find new exploit xDD

NOTE: Well done ANet, you are FORCING us to buy those gems by our in real life money, cuz here is no good way to obtain gold. In every other MMO I had thousands/millions gold (in guild wars 1 I had 2 million platins, because I was farming everything like mad and it was 1000% worth effort – in GW2 nothing is).

BTW: don’t write things like: “week ago”, “in first days I bought…”, “month ago bla bal”. Who care’s about past? It changed so much that it HAS NO USE in current TP state.

Nevermind, I will spend all my earned gold to buy rare greatswords.

Ah ye, forgot to add that tip to my previous ones:
-use exploits.

Wanna be rich? So be rich in real life, or just find new exploits. I am 100% sure that one of exploiters is controlling dusk/dawn prices. He might sell one by one (cuz he exploited and now has 10 dusks) or buy those, who are for 90g and re-sell them for 290g (dusk price is now…299 gold hahahahahha). Who care’s about exploiters…

I am poor student don’t exptect that I will spend 1000$ for gems! But…it’s the only way to be rich…
My tips to be rich:
-be rich in real life, earn 2k$ per month.
-be lucky.

My question is: how the hell people who acquired legendary weapons, got HUNDREDS (300 gold or even [much] more)? They farmed orr events, you would say? Hehe, quick math: for 300 gold. 300g=30 000 silver
30 000: 1.7 (you get 1.7s per event? can’t remember) = 17.6k events to do. Let’s say you find some ori/orrian, which have few hours respawn (around 2g per day, let’s say). Ok, so maybe guild gave you some gold… if it has around 30 members, then everyone had to give at least 10g! Play market? Then you’d have to buy million of millions (stop! not buy, just order them) items: runes, sigils etc. cuz profit is usually few silver/copper. Any other clues?

I am struggling with my 5 gold. Farming oris/wood and selling it. 1g per day (or less). Not cool. Tried to play TP. Not cool, people keep undercutting you by 1 copper OR price lowers with next day, so you lose money. I am, when I can, placing 4 rare greatswords hoping for Dusk or Dawn, which are totally mad expensive, and I WILL BECOME RICH MWHAHAHAHAHA. So, if you want to have legendary, you must…erm, have guild…not worth effort if you are solo farming (unless you have no wife/gf/job and sit in home 24/7).

I heard that no dungeon gifts can be used. Only crafted ones are usable in the forge. Can anyone confirm? But here are 4 weapons of ‘spectral type’: hammer, gs, bow, shield. So it must have any recipe imo! Why? Cuz look at those purple, mesmery weapons: pistol, shield, sword, gs, scepter…they all look unique and are created by mf recipe, not from random 4 weapons. So we must research more. Maybe gift of metal, might..whatever.

If anyone has crafted gift for legendary, could you please check if any of them fits with scroll?

Then we need 4 gs…and luck.

nope, no ectos needed for sure… you missed scroll -.-

Buy one pistol barrel and one ancient pistol “something”, and check which part fits to:
Scroll+coins+ecto+barrel/ancient pistol.

The product might be that purple, mesmer phantasm pistol.

For spectral hammer and spectral shield or bow the recipes might be:
-4 rare/exo weapons,
-gift of ascalon+scroll+x+y

It most likely will use coins or maybe lodestones as x, and weapon part as y. I might be wrong, cuz it can be from 4 rares, too…

1 scroll, 50 coins, 250 orich sword blades, 20 glacial lonestones

it might be jormag’s breath.

edit: Thanks Linsey, now I think that I know final item needed for Foefire’s essence (if it’s obtained by mf).

I didn’t think about gift! Maybe it’s not only for legendarys.

Good question…but for Foefire’s Essence I’d need greatsword blade, not sword blade

Linsey, then I suppose that:
-foefire’s essence comes from 4 rare weps,
-unknown mystic forge recipe:
maybe: scroll+coins+x+y where x might be greatsword hilt/blade and y is…. no idea. Rather not lodestones…or maybe? Or maybe foefire’s essence is RARE, VERY RARE drop from dragon chest…

But by Linsey’s reply I think that It might be mystic forge recipe:
eldritch scroll+coins+x+y

How To obtain that weapon? In my opinion it can be made by undiscovered mystic forge recipe. But it can be obtained by:
-dragon chest,
-placing 4 rare/exotic greatswords,
-boss drop?

I was even in Ascalonian Catacombs, looking for clues. I’ve pmed Linsey Murdock, too, but she did not reply…

Well I guess that I will continue losing my gold in the forge, and losing my time, killing as many dragons every day as possible.

Farm orichalcum/ancient wood in the Frostgorge/Orr. It should give you at least 1gold. Ori ores can sometimes give ruby orb, worth 14s. And, meanwhile, as posters above stated – just buy/order cheap things and re-sell them…you can be undercutted by 1c anyway -.-

I was doing that personal story quest with ships full of risen. On last of them was bone/hand, which you could pick up and throw as an AoE – poisonous cloud. Here were Risen Hyleks, with description: Immune to poison. And that boss, Hylek as well, had description: Absorbs poison. So I threw that bone/hand to their place and they… got damaged from poison. So they aren’t immune to poison. I thought it was my bleed (I am mesmer), but no, they took damage from poison (it’s source=enviromental weapon). And boss with “Absorps poison” took damage from poison as well. Just a bug.

It’s one of most needed feature. And preview too ^^
