Thank you everyone for your responses. I know it’s not a perfect solution and would need a lot of thought before implementing anything. I did have another thought of limiting this process. What if it also required a one-time use item obtained through completing your personal story? That way an account was limited to one per character (assuming you complete the story with each one).
Right now legendary weapons require map completion – this would be a way to also tie in personal story completion, which currently only provides a pact weapon token as far as I remember.
I woke up this morning and had a random idea about precursor acquisition. I tried to fully think it through, but I’m still not fully awake so if this is a horrible idea or has already been discussed I apologize in advance. What if anyone could acquire a precursor just by throwing four ascended weapons of the same type into the mystic forge? I was thinking this might be too easy of a way to acquire a precursor, so maybe they could be made account bound when obtained through this method in order to prevent the market from flooding. (all 4 ascended weapons would be account bound anyway)
The reason I posted this in this forum is to get feedback on what kind of impact this could have on the trading post prices if they were / weren’t account bound?
As an example, say I wanted to craft Spark. I would need the following for four ascended daggers (someone please correct me if I’m way off with my math):
32 Deldrimore Steel Ingots (not going to break these down further)
12 Spiritwood Planks (not going to break these down further)
400 Thermocatalytic Reagent
80 Piles of Crystalline Dust
40 Globs of Dark Matter
4 Exotic Imbued Inscription of Choice
Ascended Recipe (5 Laurels, 3 Gold)
4 Vision Crystals:
– 80 skill points
– 2000 bloodstone dust
– 2000 dragonite ore
– 2000 empyreal fragments
– 120 obsidian shards
– 600 Thermocatalytic Reagent
Does anyone have any ideas on what could make this a little more challenging if it is too easy? Could this be a substitute for the scavenger hunt that may never be created?
It’s nice too because if someone was lucky enough to get 4 ascended weapon chest drops they could essentially forge their own precursor that way without grinding out the ascended crafting / level 500.
It could also give people a reason to actually save up all those ascended materials that just get thrown away. It seems on the surface as a clear cut goal to actually crafting out your own legendary in full. You would no longer have to worry about getting a random drop through the open world or mystic forge (or buying for 1k gold on the TP).
I also put in a support ticket. I crafted 8 ascended weapons so I could transmute them into 4. That way I could have berserker stats and healing power (white) ascended skins. Now that ascended weapons will be account bound and the skins will be availabe in the wardrobe I wanted to split them back so I can use all 8 weapons on different alts. I didnt know they would be removed from the gem store and logged in this week to see they were gone…
