Every time I've made a legendary I leave the Gifts of Might and Magic to last for exactly that reason. You'll also get T6 mats, and other materials you need, and gold, from drops while playing normlly, so the longer you can leave it before you need to use them the less gold you'll have to spend. Same with Mystic Coins which are a major part of the cost of any legendary. The main reason it took so long is because I wasn't spending any more time on GW2 than I would normally and I wasn't exclusively working on making a legendary, I did lots of other things in the same time.įor one thing getting the materials actually gets easier the longer you're willing to wait - especially the T6 mats because you can buy those with laurels, which come from login rewards. I've made 4 so far and they've taken me between 7 and 13 months each, from the time I decided to start making them. Also Glacial Lodestones sell for about 40 silver and Corrupted Lodestones are 60 silver - meaning you're looking at spending about 40g and 60g in total for each.īut even so the simple answer is that if you don't have a lot of time to grind you make a legendary slowly. You only need one stack - 250 - of each T6 material, not three stacks. But at the same time, I'm baffled at the sheer amount of grinding that would lay before me if I choose to press on.įirst thing: I think some of your numbers are wrong. In fact, I would welcome some kind of sound strategy to amassing the 600+ gold id need to finish Frostfang (because I imagine grinding for the mats themselves is a waste of life). Is this game built around people who have a plethora of free time to grind and grind and grind? Or is it the game's subtle attempt at getting me to swipe my credit card for gold?Not trying to poke fun at anyone. The stacks of metal ingots I can imagine, but the time needed to grind for these materials or the gold to buy them seems ludicrous.I work full time, have a dog, a fiance, gotta work out a couple times a week. Roughly 600g worth of materials, including 3 full stacks of t6 mats (blood, venom, totem), 100 glacial lodestones and 100 corrupted lodestones (each of those go for ~90g on the TP). It took a long time, and it literally cost every last gold I had (around 250g) even after I used whatever resources I'd been hoarding.Looking up what is left to do, I am having a very difficult time envisioning myself finishing it. So I never looked into it in advance before I started Frostfang (my mistake), but eventually managed to craft the precursor.
