With the recent announcement of the upcoming Legendary Armory (date unannounced) Legendaries are even better. When the armory hits your legendaries will be applied to your entire account. That means if you get a legendary staff, every character you have or will ever make after that point will have a legendary staff available for use in their equipment menu. No more swapping gear between your toons!

[@Adama.1]

thats awesome. Will this be so for already unlocked legendaries as well?

[@MuklukYoutube]

@@Adama.1 Should be yes (I think there would be a riot if it wasn't lol)

[@ferret1252]

So that means i will only have to make one sword for my 800 toons that use swords

[@thelycan6506]

That's something they should have added a long time ago imo.

[@richardsaunders7157]

that there was the answer to the question i was trying to find i wonted to make a few on diffrent toons but if my othere toons couldnt use them then i would have to pick a main to get them on and my otheres would have to go with out

As a player returning from initial release around 2013, this guide is epic. Really have a clear understanding of what is required for a legendary, thanks! So much to do in GW2 it's insane.

[@avistryfe4534]

It really is a good guide. Its just an insane daunting task especially if you dont inject money or have connections in the game. If you play with a full group of friends itll be alot easier going.

[@Nr4747]

Yeah, there really is A TON to do. The best part is that you can easily set your own goals, usually guided by achievements and/or crafting requirements - but there is no "must".

I told my wife that I was going to make the Dreamer shortbow (because I like shortbow ranger). She then mentioned that it was the most annoying sound ever and I was sold. Definitely creating it now, she knew exactly what to say.

[@freohr789]

I really appreciate the "you don't have to be good at wvw" thing because that is the part that tends to scare me off the most :b ........................ now I just gotta get over the "no patience for farming" and "constantly becoming poor from the gemstore" parts~

[@aclock2]

WvW is actually really fun. After you die 100th times. You start to either not giving a shit or play thief ( so no one can see you )and it becomes fun.

[@MaidMirawyn]

I've been playing since beta, but I only started working on a legendary recently. I never intended to make a legendary, but then I saw Nevermore. IT MUST BE MINE! So now I'm chopping down trees in every level 80 zone, because apparently natured-themed legendaries require massive deforestation...

[@generalerica4123]

"Massive Deforestation" Lol. That's not even CLOSE to how much wood you (and I as well, by the by) need for this staff. It really is an ungodly amount.

[@KyriToe]

So did you get it?

[@gustavoschiller6852]

That might explain why i always see a bunch of people cutting trees in the same place at Malchor's Leap every day

[@k.t.1641]

Saito Hiraga I can agree, but then again I bitch about running out of stuff to do, and mam is it a great feeling of accomplishment when you do it. It’s worth it for the visuals alone for me. If it was just stats or visuals I wouldn’t care. But it’s both and more!

[@allah-a2353]

Saito Hiraga not sure bout ascended, got my full asc set in 2 weeks (armor weapons trinkets) just craft everyday, and if you have a friend to craft it for you it also helps alot. Play lots of fractals to get equipment chests and legies should take ages, they are luxuries and if you want them you need to work for it. I got mine and felt really accomplished. Legendaries are hard work but the satisfaction is worth it

[@seriousmaran9414]

As a filthy casual I now have 21 legendaries. I learned the secrets of the TP... Plus 3 accounts I sign into for the daily rewards.

[@morgan9774]

I started nevermore at HoT release. Yep still working on it. I'm a filthy casual.

[@theluckycan5764]

"maybe you're just clicking through youtube at 3 am" me: **carefully checks my surroundings**

[@Foil09]

9:39 that sigh right there had me laughing, every step you complete just leads to more stuff you need to do and many of the gifts are rabbit holes themselves with all the crafting smaller stuff into bigger stuff 😂I have had a lot of fun with the collections I have done, Twilight (finished) and Nevermore (only have the expensive parts of the gifts left..) and for me, seeing them as large side projects that I slowly works towards while doing things I like is largely what helps me going. I've had guild mates in the past that hardcore grinded for a legendary and lost interest in the game while doing so.

[@notright7]

I have nevermore and quip done and almost done with hope. Just need the coins and done.

[@stephaniesmith1884]

I just went ahead and bought the starting recipes for all the legendaries. The result was a lot of progress with just my normal casual play. It's actually kinda fun having random pings pop up about completing another step towards a legendary. However, now that I'm getting close to completing step 1 for a few of them, I want to actually spend some time getting those last few items to progress to round 2. As such, it becomes a fun quest that I have waiting for me when I tire of killing world bosses and grinding dailies.

[@uniquename111]

First time i see this sort of guide, really nice. Also make sure to always pick the legendary chest at the end of the month and your daily log in. Even if you are not gonna do a legendary now but later you will be super happy that you did this and dont have to farm for it or gamble in the mystic forge.

[@zearcjustice7837]

guys listen , trust me on this once you start crafting legendary , YOU NEVER GONNA STOP

[@BusterDonuts]

was watching this as a new player, and got to the 'shard of the calling void' I got excited

[@Akronox]

Regarding the gift of battle, I would like to mention that you can also do WvW dailies to get reward potions that helps building it faster (80 potions needed to complete a full reward track). As a bonus you also get the daily completionist which gives spirit shards needed for the bloodstone shard.

I have been watching your channel for about 3 years now. That very slow introduction completely took me by surprise!

[@Equistta]

Please, please, please keep making videos like this! I've been playing this game for years, have tons of saved gold and resources, but never understood crafting in this game at all. I love easy to understand videos like this!

[@happy_camper]

I’ve only just started playing GW2, but this already interests me. I’m looking forward to making stuff like this!

[@kaelinvictus6039]

Very nice direct and concise guide. One thing that I can add is powercrafting. Made a total of 6 legendaries ( 4 gen1 + 2 gen2) and recently sold 3 twilights in 2 months. The trick is finding a niche market to sell stuff. For example, I used to sell rare (krait prefix) greatswords for mystic toilet gambling and it allowed me to make gold while doing what i want (no mindless grinding required). Place your orders for mithril ores, elderwood logs and t5 mats before you sleep then craft the next day. Bulk crafting takes about 20-30 mins then sell to tradepost by "slightly undercutting" other players. With 2 accounts (thanks old friend!) I started both with 200g and crafted twice a day. For 1 hour of daily crafting nets me 50g to 70g after sales and even more during weekends. Rinse and repeat. Powercrafting greatswords may not be as lucrative as before so it is up to you to find that niche market and get that shiny!

[@coatgoat5462]

This guide is so nice, I barely finished crafting HOPE this week but I'm now itching to make another legendary.

[@Kishuy]

Thank you very much, the wiki helps alot as a returning player but having someone like you answering the quirk litlte inside questions is great.

[@arkanaloth2617]

so far I've crafted Exordium (my first legendary) and Meteorlogicus. After I finished Exordium I make it a point when asked about legendaries to let people know that if they're wanting a Gen2, prepare for pain. You better love it in every way, shape, and form... cause legendary shards and the materials for them will put you on the brink of insanity. After crafting a Gen2, doing a Gen1 was child's play easy. I'm glad to hear the Gen3's will be more like crafting a Gen1.

[@c490cuK]

I have been playing this game for years and I am still learning I bought Heart of Thorns and Path of Fire when I ran out of places to go to on the main map so I really get surprised when I look at these videos and learn about the mystic forge and all the thing that I make I have four toon character all Level 80 will be making more in the future. really love this game for its architecture in comparison to other games.

[@1Diddums]

8 Level 80s. Full exotics. Almost fully Ascended accessories. Legendarys were never a goal because I felt they all looked booky. But after becoming well acquainted with many different play styles - interchangeable stats would be massively appreciated. Definitely be an upcoming goal after seeing such a well put together video running it down. Thanks.

Great guide with good humour, tone and information! I gotta admit I laughed out loud at 7:14 because of how relatable it was. Biggest dilemma ever! The music, voice and the timing of sound effect were perfect. Haha!

Good introduction to legendary weapons! Just recently finished The Shining Blade and Pharus just before it. My 2 cents, gen 1 weapons are easier, if you're new to legendaries. My personal opinion 🤷‍♀️

pro tip. Before comiting to precursor collection of gen1 try to look up in gw2efficency what's its price in TP. For example water precursor, lets say "rage" worth something like 30 g in TP, but about 300 plus shitload of time in collections and crafting.

Fun story: I found the pre-curser to FrostFang while doing the Jormag meta event a while ago and didn't know it was the pre-curser and thought it looked weirdddd but still saved it to my account because I wanted every weapon skin in the game. But then you know, later found out that it in fact WAS a pre-curser and could be sold for 200+ gold. So. Um. Me and my friend had a nice pity moment🙂

You can get 2 clovers per day from the merchant in the fractal room also.

I dont know WHY I'm watching this, exactly, as I've already made a couple legendaries, but it's somehow validating to listen to you sigh in suffering going through the massive lists, laughs.
