Exegetic Gains
[GW2] after my farming blitz weekend for precursor crafting my goal is to use my free time to actually play some other games now, but discussion/planning within
Exegetic Gains
first off it's nice to see that tiers 3 and 4 (only HoT legendaries have a t4) are back to doing THINGS instead of literally just being a list of shit that you have to craft or buy
Exegetic Gains
this is what I had in mind when you described The Legendary Journey, not giving 250 mithril pistols to an npc and then giving 1000 bandit crests, 400 geodes, 100 karka shells, and other things to another npc
Exegetic Gains
I see that I'll need 10 total deldrimor ingots for the end of tier 3 but it looks like I AM done with spiritwood needs, so I can sell soft wood for sweet profit
Exegetic Gains
it's going to take me forever to get to that point anyway, though
Exegetic Gains
31 tasks, most of them either fractals or world bosses (which require a kind of sequence in most cases)
Exegetic Gains
I'm not sure if t3 is where the bugs/failed event requirements start or if that's t4
Exegetic Gains
I know there are some IN t4 but idk about t3, it seems to mostly just be beat this fractal, beat this world boss, buy from this karma vendor
Exegetic Gains
at this point forging the legendary itself is the easy part
Exegetic Gains
though I can't actually get maguuma map completion until they unlock the toxic bacon hero point 8T
Exegetic Gains
I can actually get all of the remaining crystalline ore I need by getting up to the last story mission on all of my espec'd characters, so I can avoid running the DS meta again
Exegetic Gains
I should also get a lot of leyline sparks this way but I haven't figured it up
Exegetic Gains
may be more fun/worthwhile than grinding all of the meta events for a million years
Exegetic Gains
/ugh doing anything challenging on Thief tho
Exegetic Gains
every other class I can manage, but THIEF
Exegetic Gains
also back to the mess that is t2
Exegetic Gains
it bugs me so much that the entire point of the collection is to forge an improved pistol frame (5 spiritwood), a precise barrel (5 deldrimor), and specialty forging tools (5 deldrimor) and
Exegetic Gains
you dON'T EVEN CRAFT WITH THEM
Exegetic Gains
like the idea here is literally learning how to BUILD A BETTER PISTOL than your first attempt
Exegetic Gains
you spend the whole collection MAKING THREE COMPONENTS OF A BETTER PISTOL that you can then forge with the salvaged item from the first attempt since that would, you know, ACTUALLY CREATE AN IMPROVED PISTOL
Exegetic Gains
but no
Exegetic Gains
you get the final recipe
Exegetic Gains
and it's
Exegetic Gains
a gemstone and some polish
Exegetic Gains
I make an improved pistol by combining a gemstone, polish, and the spirit of an item I salvaged
Exegetic Gains
while I have actual pistol parts made from actual ascended materials and knowledge I gathered from crafting masters
Exegetic Gains
sitting in my inventory
Exegetic Gains
I am SO IRRATIONALLY BOTHERED BY THIS
Exegetic Gains
Also with the current state of wood and dungeon nerfs
Exegetic Gains
I've realized that you get more money from chopping two soft wood yielding trees than from an entire dungeon path
Levi
I always knew selling mats was the key to riches
Exegetic Gains
it always has been, but right now we're just in a bubble where the demand for wood is absolutely ridiculous
Exegetic Gains
Oh hey our bonus mission slot actually paid off for once
Exegetic Gains
Trek with 30 locations in 20m, 500 favor
Levi
ez
Exegetic Gains
So we should be able to get 1100 favor this week
