Let there be light...

    This blog is aimed at helping all those that play Guild Wars 2 and need a helping hand to guide them along the long path to a legendary. It is a beautiful weapon that deserves respect and is admired by all. Getting a legendary is a test of patience and many give up but if you persist we can guarantee that you will get yours. This post will provide a general overview of what is required for your legendary and where to start.

You will need:

Approximately 1 million karma

Map Completion

Around 431 Skill Points

500 Badges of Honour

250 Vicious Fangs

250 Vicious Claws

250 Powerful Venom Sacs

250 Vials of Powerful Blood

250 Ancient Bones

250 Piles of Crystalline Dust

250 Intricate Totems

250 Armoured Scales

Around 481 Globs of Ectoplasm

231 or more Mystic coins

A lot of gold

Your legendary specific precursor and its ‘Gift’

________________________________________________________________________

    Gifts are large components of your legendary. All of the items you collect will eventually be used to make a gift. The 3 main gifts that you will combine with your precursor is the Gift of Fortune, Gift of Mastery and your legendary specific gift which is named after the legendary you are going for.

The legendary specific gift is guaranteed to need:

100 Icy Runestones (costing 1 Gold each)

500 tokens from a dungeon

A superior sigil

2 Gifts

One example of a legendary specific goft is the Gift of Twilight used to make the legendary greatsword Twilight. It requires:

• Gift of Darkness which needs:

          250 Orichalcum ingots

          250 Cured Hardened Leather Sections

          100 Onyx Lodestones

Gift of Ascalon (bought with 500 tears of Ascalon)

• Gift of Metal
• 100 Icy Runestones
• Superior Sigil of Blood 

    Many people struggle to figure out where to start and after much experience it was determined that the best place to start is with your dungeon gift as it is often the easiest unless the dungeon you need to run is Arah, in which case good luck. When you are not busy with that you should work towards your Bloodstone shard which is bought from Miyani for 200 Skill Points, followed by your 77 Clovers for your Gift of Fortune and then the 250 Obsidian shards for your Gift of Mastery. Also, check how many hours your legendary takes you by checking you character and account's age at the start. This is done by typing "/age" in the chat bar.
