New Player Tips And Tricks For Legendary Gear In Guild Wars 2

Nothing can be painful or longer then grinding relic weapons in ffxiv .... Painn

i just farm for like 4-6 weeks and sell all of it and buy a legendary. Last thing i bought was Aurenes Bite greatsword, and then spent a few hundred gold to make the Kralkattorik skin. Also bought two others, doing the same thing. I hate crafting.

I play this game since 2014 or something like that, I only have the sunrise legendary and I dont plan to many any new one. Takes too much effort for just a fancy skin.

The best legendary in the game is the back piece since every character you have can use it and at any level, back pieces are the most expensive piece of gear. The Amulet is the next best piece and you can obtained the Prismatic Champion's Regalia with time and doing meta achievements. After those i rank weapions. Find the weapon you can use on most toons, but you love the look and animation of and go for it. HOPE (pistol) was my first, since I love playing a thief and Engineer, which also led to my second legendary weapon PREDATTOR the sniper rifle. As mentioned in the video buy the Precursor Weapons when you can, as for PREDATOR, its precursor (HUNTER) only costs 38gp and saved a lot of work. It is all about fun so try and make the grinding the most fun for you.

I just came back to the game after 4 years.... I have a bank full of legendary and ascended gear. I have no idea at all what I have and what I need >.> It's a little daunting

BTW 葛 [くず, つづら, クズ] Kuzu (1) (n) kudzu (Pueraria montana); Japanese arrowroot (2) (n) Chinese moonseed (Sinomenium acutum)
Bit irritating that they went with a spelling that leads to wrong pronunciation.

Weapons sucks they are overrated and requires boring map completion. The only worth it legendaries are the trinkets, and armors.

Damn pop music!

thats the only thing I hat with the legendary gear in GW2...

You NEED one or almost all the crafting professions on almost max level! As much as I know there is no way around it and this just sucks :/

when I get a precursor I don't even use it. it sits in the bank until I'm ready to continue the push to make it a legendary. I don't equip it, it doesn't sit in any character inventory, I treat it like a crafting material that doesn't have a slot in the mat storage.

The only thing I dislike about legendaries is the lack of lore. The lore weapons are usually either exotic or ascended

Man ive been working on making the legendary rifle for way longer than i care to admit, and the world completion is just killing me. Im at 71% now and maaaaaaan its time consuming

I have 7 legendary weapons, got them for the looks. But I use ascended gear, with the legendary skin on it. I hate actually using the legendary, if you switch around your weapons a lot.

I just crafted my 50th Legendary, alt parking helped me a lot.

I just wanna craft a legendary so I get noticed😢

My first and only legendary so far is the Seasons of Dragons amulet, Prismatic Champion's Regalia.
You only need to complete achievements across all the Living World seasons to get it. This may also take quite some time but you don't have to pay a single copper (you need to own all seasons ofc).
Along the way you also get an ascended weapon, an End of Dragons precursor and a 32 slot bag, which is pretty nice for new and returning players. And while you're doing seasons 3 and 4 you can also start working on the respective legendary accessories tied to that seasons.

When deciding on a first legendary to get, that multiple of your characters can use, I'd definitely go for one of the trinkets (amulet, rings, accessories) first, because every (armor) class can use them and they give a lot of stats. That's why I'm currently working on the WvW ring Conflux next, while also starting to work on the WvW armor.

Honestly I don’t care about flashy looks and I’m not a master class player who NEEDS leggys.

HOWEVER! I love having something to work towards. Therefore legendaries are the best target goal in the game (for me).

Sweet legendary stuff you got there dude 😎

One tip to get started is to level up at the very beginning through gathering and crafting -- these gives a lot of exp when boosted. However, there's no way simplifying this. It is designed to take a long time to do. You basically have to save gold, karma, laurel, and materials as you play through all the contents of the game -- and maybe, maybe, have enough to create the precursor.

Fun fact about legendaries you use less like Kudzu : I have a good collection of leggy gear now, and I've crafted Verdarach just because it looks badass (and its sound is badass), as well as Kamohoali'i Kotaki.... I rarely use them but they look so cool !

Well, for my "Decade's devotion" I have currently 52 Legendary items , a tip for crafting, hmmm... let me think there are many, but one will be just concentrate on task for making one, don't waste time doing something else which wont give advancing in crafting, DONT sell high level mats, never, not even when you finish crafting, why, because when you see the convenience having legy you will want to have one more, more and more... Do on daily basis fotm, do fast events and metas (dont do ones that takes more than 30-45 mins to complete), wvw is essential for crafting legys ( dont do choo choo's, do camping's as a goal to receive tickets, mats and progresions), and so on...
Horrik unleash the cannons !!

The new wizards vault helps a lot, but I had a lot of components. I was able to make two new legendarys in a month.

dedicate a section of your bank. Once you get your precursor just place it in the bank then as you aquire your other gifts that are needed place them next to the precursor as a way to mark what was accomplished. Another tip is to look at the list of items on the wiki and make a plan aka what will be the easiest to do, what would be the hardest, do i have enough to do this part as of right now, what will take awhile, etc.
break it down to chunks and tackle those when you can.

I'm working on Aurora and Warbringer at the same time right now. I can simultaneously do the step for unlocking the LWS3 armor piece from the WvW reward tracks while also gaining the ranks needed for the WvW back pieces. Although I might have to put that step on hold so I can farm Wintersday Gifts from the WvW reward track to sell for gold.

At the current pace I play though, I'm also considering crafting Conflux before Warbringer since ranking up feels kind of slow; and ranking up is my biggest priority right now over having enough skirmish tickets.

There are a few ways to turn karma into the crafting materials you need, one is the pct supply network agents, unlocked through the pct commander mastery line. Purchasing the “pact scout mapping materials” each day for karma (there are 6 search /wiki psna) is about 100 of your choice of T6 material every 2 weeks, just go to the map with the correct map rewards and spam them at the most convenient waypoint.

Converting LW currencies into volatile magic or unbound magic can then be exchanged with gold at LW map vendors for various types of shipments or unstable magic bundles, these contain rare materials, lodestones, and sometimes clovers if you buy the right ones this can be done for profit, or material gain, or a mix of the two.

claim your free legendary starter pack from astral reward!!!! it is a 75% completed legendary weapon and you dont need crafting lvl to complete it

Buying supply boxes in eye of the north with tyrian defense seals is a good support for materials as well.

I just crafted my 6th & 7th Legendary weapons. My secret is WvW. It's not only good for Gift of Battle, but the reward tracks often offer financial assistance. You can also use it to stock up on mystic coins and area specific currencies. This leads us to ever-so helpful trophy shipment boxes, and all that's left is Gift of Exploration to grind.

It's funny that you mention Kudzu as the example for rarely used weapons, considering people do the precursor collections for the hidden garden 🤭 (I know it's not related to the video, but just thought it was funny... totally not because I just unlocked the garden 2 days ago)

Not changing the starts on a precursor is a GREAT tip. Years ago I did this on an ascended mist forged item.

As for things that you can work on at the same time... Aurora and vision have a TON of overlap with the Prismatic Champion's Regalia. If you are going to work on Aurora and Vision then be sure to have Prismatic pulled up.

Use Taco or Blush for your gifts of exploration. I've completed 20 world completions. Back in the early days you had to do it on foot and it'd take about 2 hours per map. Now, with mounts and map overlay, it takes a fraction of that.

Best gold in the game, in my opinion, is fractals. Definitely run them each day for about 700g a month.

Oh, and don't forget Legendary runes and sigils. IMHO, some of the VEST legendaries out there for all characters. They unlock items that are 12+ gold x 6 making them a pretty good value.

this is liike the most complicated mmo to get into as a new player honestly like what is going on

For new people... You got to buy crafting recipes for any of the gifts you need to make they are 10g each recipe

hello, I want to start crafting light legendary armors since I enjoy necro, ele and mesmer.


But....


I just don't have any idea where to start.

It's frustrating 😢

Tell you the truth? As long as making a legenday requires me to do even the slightest amount of pvp content, they can keep the legendaries up they (you know what) so if no pvp = no legendaries, i'm fine with that, don't need them

Honestly, I'm a fairly casual player, but the most egregious roadblock I find on my way to my 4th legy... Are mystic clovers !
Doesn't matter how much gold or materials you gain from any method of your choosing, they are the mandatory ingredient that have absolutely NO convenient method of acquiring... Reward chests for PvP or WvW only, basically... Sure, you can gamble at the mystic forge, or buy them at certain vendors, but that's spending equally rare mystic coins to get mystic clovers ! With how much the game has evolved since, it's a bit surprising there is no stable/reliable way to farm them ever so slowly as it may be...

IDK, put a couple in weekly fractal chests, the ultimate reward for sticking to daily living world challenges, a chance at the end of certain meta events,... Something, anything !

Can you make a video about dailies? I recently hit 80 and there are so many dailies I don't know what to do :D I have like 2 hours of play per day max and I wanna know what dailies are the most beneficial. I love your channel, your videos are very informative!

Thank you Caffeinated Daddy....uwu nyaaaaah :3

All of them are ugly af tho

Working on set 3 raid armor set myself might complete the other four leggie sigils and i know i will make the relic when comes out given i got 7 leggie runes. All my characters have full ascended and i see leggies as a reason to farm t4s and recs daily every day and a use for said gold.

Main goal in my view learn fractals and get full set ascended first on one character with plus 9 agony infusions. You will get close to 20 G a day which can be used to buy matts for leggie items working on.

Leveling the crafting sukssssss

I wouldn't count out Kudzu as not so Importen for as many chars...
Sure that is a fact...
BUT
Doing the Kudzu through the achievement gives you a daily node farm in the hidden garden...
The nodes there might not seem as important...
😂BUT😂
Cooking is a good way to get those pesky research papers ... plus it is a nice passive income

I just got to wonder, is there a legendary that requires the Gift of Gab?

Legendaries, Mounts and the game's Dye system are some of the best things GW2 has done.

Really, other MMOs should bother to imitate them a bit. FFXIV is FINALLY bothering to add to their dye system, which we've asked for many years, but it's still nowhere near as good as GW2's.

You need ascended Gear for agony resistance If you want to play fractals, so ascended Gear isnt just better, it gives acsess to fractals. So exotics arent good enough then. Or am i Missing Something ?

best tip i can give about crafting a legendary (can essentially craft 1 every 2 weeks), farm out EoD metas, all 4 main maps, not sure about the 5th delve map havent checked it out enough to tell.
doing each meta every day will allow you to craft a legendary every 2 weeks or less, given you can afford the other materials, and if you cant, crafting the precursors and selling those is profitable enough that after selling 4-6 precursors you should have enough gold to craft the legendary weapon (can then sell that one for a massive profit and repeat the cycle, not needing to craft precursors for selling anymore because you should have enough gold to recraft legendaries at this point on)

Legendaries! My often proclaimed favorite feature of GW2. The idea of a timeless item that not only looks great, has cool effects, but has so much functionality across every account. It is a unique element not present in most MMO's and shows some level of dedication and grind. To me, they are sort of like a Runescape Skill cape turned up 100%.

If you are new you are in luck, as you have yet to tackle the majority of the game content so you basically are on the way to completing the Legendary necklace the Prismatic Champion's Regalia! An items that only really needs you to complete the stories and a slew of associated achievements. It is in essence totally free, it will just cost time. But since you are doing the story anyway, might as well tackle it!

Make sure like Caffeinated Dad says, you go for ones you like and want! You can get really focused and do what is essentially the most useful items like Vision, Aurora, any of the rings or amulets. Which I would argue offer the best utility. Or you can have fun with it, pick up a trinket, then a weapon, armor, whatever! A lot of these like he said synergize and work in tandem.

Also my last bit of advice as a somewhat newer player (2 years now!) use GW2Efficency to see what you need! Sometimes when you look at the wiki it might seem a bit daunting but the site breaks it down really well sort of in steps, and what you will need.
